ok, im 18 with a low budget cuz im going to college... used most of my money i saved to buy car but still have $3k in bank... want nice chrome rims but dont know what to get for tires... i like the brand enkei that ive been looking at... want good looks.... hoping for it to fit
First off. Please steer away from chrome. Most of them are Cheap(low quality), heavy, they're out of style and they just cheapen the car's overall appearance. By looking at your user name i'm assuming that you enjoy some aspects of the movie franchise - please do not feed into that trash. Chrome wheels, underglows flame thrower kits = GARBAGE. you have the same car i do - please don't lower the car's image more than it already has. Save up some legit money n' pick up something decent. Enkei is an awesome brand w/really good specs and prices. They don't really come in chrome but they have a polish finish that looks more baller than most. It will cost you tho. My suggestion; look at rota or sportmaxx xxr's. Get something for now - research later for more info, sell your wheels then get something better when you understand more. |
ok well id rather have a negative camber than positive.... honestly idk what offset i want, i just dont want it to hit my fender, idk much about suspension but am probably gonna lower it a little bit but not too much, wanted 20"s lol but was told it would look retarded so will probably just get 18s.... like wider rims/tires but dont know if it'd look good on the 8

it's the sad truth - there's owners out there that lower the car's image n' it's visible when people view me/my car.
Lucky for me i don't give two shits about them so i go about my business bein' a badass :smoker: lol |
i dont wanna sell my wheels cuz i want them for the winter
|
you keep your wheels that you have now for winter, find something that suits you for the present, and when everything clicks in your mindbrain later you sell the "new" wheels and get something baller
|
haha, well i dont wanna waste money on something later.... im fine with the stock rims i got now, i just wanted something better and if i were to buy new aftermarket wheels it would be to keep not as a stepping stone

Go to our search function at the top of the page.... click on SEARCH then go to ADVANCED SEARCH Where it says KEYWORDS (or some shit) TYPE IN: CALLING ALL Then hit SEARCH You will see: CALLING ALL MOMO WHEEL OWNERS, CALLING ALL RAYS WHEEL OWNERS, CALLING ALL WINNING BLUES, CALLING ALL BRILLIANT BLACK's etc. ^those threads are FUCKING PACKED with pictures of people who have put on rims or modifications to their car. It'll help a lot more than just being spoon fed info. Done |
you want something wide without hitting fenders go 18x9.5+45
|
thx for the help atilla, lol.... ill go there and bug some more ppl and ill look at those specs mike, thx
|
i liked a lot of the sportmax xxr i looked at
|
They typically have nice sizes and offsets for 8s
|
Will this setup work? I need to be 100% sure and seriously need some answers:
245/40/18 tires 18x9, +41 wheels 10mm spacers Dropped on Tein S-Techs with OEM shocks. |
Ok, I'm back lol... Will this work and look good???
Option 1- 225/45 18x8 40mm offset enkei Option 2- 225/45 18x8 45mm offset oz http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...eelModel=Power http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...wheelModel=AKP |
Grog that will fit fine, just make sure the wheel has recesses that are deep enough to allow the stock stud to poke into with the spacers. Some wheels (like the stock ones) need a wider spacer like 20mm.
2Fast - Those will fit like stock basically. Look for 18x8 with a +30 offset, 18x8.5 +35, 18x9+35, 18x9.5 +40. Those are just starting points. |

Also, on a side note, would anyone recommend Falken FK452s as a decent tire for daily driving? The price for it doesn't seem anywhere near as high as I thought it was (or what it used to be) and I need to upgrade my stock tires in the next month or two. They're almost done. I'm also considering getting 15mm spacers instead of 10mm. With the same specs that I listed earlier, will a 15mm spacer still fit just fine? |
Where can I find that.... I was looking at tirerack.com under recommended for my car but got nothing that wide I liked...

I don't really understand what you mean or how this works. How can I check to make sure that a 10mm will work with my wheels?

Stole it from an rsx forum and the first picture is kinda not good but you should get the idea. http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...projectkic.jpg This is similar to what you want to see. Instead of an actual hole though, it could just be spaces in the back side of the wheel. http://www.frsport.com/images/detail...47af820d94.jpg |

15mm will make you rub. You just have to get someone to check if the spacers will work I guess. If it is the Varrstoens, I would hope they allow the use of spacers but no guarantee from me.
Thanks for the help; I really appreciate it. I get really anxious when it comes to stuff like this and I'd hate myself if I paid for a set of spacers that wouldn't even fit, haha. 10mm Ichiba spacers look like my best bet right now. |
You want the spacers with the studs built in, not the kind where you have to take out your old stock studs and press in longer ones. That is a major pain in the ass on the rx8.
edit: check the width of their spacers. If they are using wider than 10mm, then you may have problems using 10mm. |

That is what will suck. You can find nice 10mm spacers (project kics for one) with the studs built in for $100-110 shipped on evolutionm.net all day long. I think they are like $135ish new. Those prices are for a pair. If you aren't lowered yet, the 9+41 will likely look good enough if you don't want to spend the extra money on spacers just yet.
So why will it suck? They'll still fit, wouldn't they? What needs to be done to make the Ichiba spacers fit? |
