Bought The Tenzo Type-M

[billyrohm]

Damn, I want those rims in Charcoal. I think it would look better on a black.
And I also am looking to wrap those with Nitto InVo.

where in martinsville you at? I wanna steal em!

+1 on that, somebody buy the charcoal so that I can be more pissed that I dont have any money.

what size rubber?

 

[absolutamente]

Is there any chance that someone can photoshop these bronze so we can see what that would look like? I have a black ms3 and was looking at bronze or gold.

 

[RelliMS3]

What tire size are you running? Any rubbing in the back?

235/40/18 and it is a 45mm offset. Zero rubbing so far. Also I did not have any problem transferring the TPMS and it is working fine.

I love them in gray....

 

[BLAZEONE]

what about the machined face?

 

[RelliMS3]

I thought there was zero rubbing, but if i completely lock the steering wheel then the tire will just barely touch that plastic wheel well liner. Not an issue at all considering the steering wheel is only in that position at low speeds

Thanks! Gray/charcoal looks so much better! Sorry Relli

Pfff whatever, haha. I like that too, but i just wanted to go black on black.

Going for the stealthy look...good idea!

so today i was driving with me and a someone up front and two guys in the back. there was definitely some rubbing. I dont think there is any problems without extra weight but when i do then it rubs pretty easily. I need to get the fenders rolled soon so i don't wear down the brand new tires anymore. will most body shops be able to do this?

Do you still have a stock alignment? You could just add more Camber to the rear...

Yeah the alignment is stock. Wouldnt more camber affect the tire wearing

Depends on what tires you have. I'm gonig to getting NITTO NEO GENs which have a harder compound inner tread so you can run a lot of camber. Most of the time over 2 degrees of negative camber will cause faster tire wear. Stock setting is -1 I plan on running -1.5 to -1.75. So add some camber! (drive2)

Camber will have WAAAAAY less effect on tire wear than toe, and the further out of spec the toe gets, the more the camber will affect wear.

I have run close to 3 degrees negative camber in the front and a little over 2 degrees negative camber in the rear on my old Focuses (which share a basic suspension design with the 3) and as long as my toe was set near zero (I ran just a tick under 1/8" total toe out in the front, and zero toe in the rear), I had no wear problems to speak of with proper tire rotation intervals.
