MS3 Owners: Show us your wheels

[Wastegate13]

you finally got some CCV's I see... want to see more!!!

Me too but as always the car isn't looking how I want it yet. Fronts need a pull and to come down a bit more. I think the rear fitment is perfect though.

 

[MS3_Wild_Thang]

so the fronts are also 18x10 +25? do they rub? would i be able to fit it with stock suspension?

Your wish is my command.
To reiterate, 18X8 +50 Enkei Imola, 235/40 18 Star Specs. Stock suspension (coilovers are on the wish list).

New 235 Star Specs next to the stock size (215, as if you didn't know) Blizzaks


Gettin' 'em on. BTW, a cordless impact wrench is your friend...

And there they are! Too bad it was an overcast day.



I'm also thinking about painting the calipers red some day.

What kind of lug nuts do you have? If they're the aluminum lightweight ones...never use an impact wrench to apply them. It's never recommended. The metal on them are pretty thin since aluminum doesn't have to be as thick as steel to be just as strong.

Dewalt electric impact? What's the TQ rating?

Do whaaaat? Aluminum has to be thicker than the equivalent steel to be as strong. Aluminum is also softer than steel, so you should not use steel on aluminum.

You use these:

Those are just red colored regular nuts...

Jon MS3, I love the look of the Black on Black stock wheels. I want to do the same with the wife's as hers is Silver and Silver of course. All I wanted was a drop like yours has but she doesn't want to. I prefer the look of the stock wheels with a drop. Had 225 35 18's on them before they came off due to two of the wheels being bent..... unfortunately not by me.

Here is the wifes at the moment: ( Konig Runaway Hyper Grey 17x8 +46 ) Believe 215 45 or 205 45 tires don't recall at the moment.

Stock w/ stock tires bought w/ 19K miles on the ODO:
