The Slammed Life

All I can say is wow!

 

[thaikim]

Circuit, wheels are on point! That's right keep stepping that game/lip up haha... Rob, that ish is blue like Cookie Monster took a dump all over your wheels blue... Not sure why he would poop blue cuz all he eats is cookies but damn your wheels are blue as sh*t...

 

[JDM_Pro5]

^ lolz. That was so funny I just Blue a load....get it?

 

[ffocused.]

Yea chef told me they stretch well.... But its wider then the 205/40 falken 512.... My luck strikes again -.-"

Yeah 512s are crazy narrow.

 

[INeedMoarLow]

I hate that they stopped making them....

 

[INeedMoarLow]

Soooo obviously those won't cut it... are toyo proxies worth it to put on a 80 dollar wheel?

I hate that they stopped making them....

i have the 595 evos on my car

 

[INeedMoarLow]

How wide ate you ruining cause 195's run about 200

 

[719prottege]

i have 215-40-17. really good sticky tires, but the sidewall is very square and not as visualy appealing as my other 595ss. i will be going back when i get new tires

Dude I cut a s*** lode out of my fenders and still rub on the rear some times when I hit huge bumps and I have 1300 spring rate in the rear. If I don't want to rub more then cut more and u should be good.

I'm pretty sure the 3 is alot wider than the P5 so he shouldnt have an issue, I dont think ...The 527"s would look sick on the 3 Chris

Yeah I spaced my fronts 15mm and they are still sunk but now I rub the flare sometimes while turning. 19x9 +15 up front is pretty boss.

I have decided to go with the 530s instead Hector. Going to run 235/35/18 tires on them. Not much stretch so I can beat on the car for a change.

 

[rar40941]

Ya it's a wider car they can fit bigger wheels too so I guess he doesn't have to cut as much as I did

 

[rar40941]

No don't get 530's mAn get real wheels would look better on ur car

 

[Chefsp0t]

How much space do you have from your strut to the edge of your flares? I still need to measure mine.

Next summer's wheels will most likely be 18x11 with somewhere around 0 offset based on fitment calculators I have been messing with. Might have to raise the car slightly to keep from rubbing the flares though. Won't know until I get more familiar with the new fitment.

 

[Chefsp0t]

The 530s will be daily/winter wheels. Just something to hold me over until the new legit wheels can be purchased.

PS. The 18x9.75 +20 is still going to be sunk inside the flares by a good amount.

 

[rar40941]

Well with the set up my rear wheel is 2 credit cards away form hitting my strut. The wheel from the flare is like a finger away so I don't hit and I have a tone of camber so I don't hit the front I need to space it out a bit and that might help. I need to poke more in the front

 

[INeedMoarLow]

Sorry to keep being a pain.. The only two tires I've found that seem to run narrow is Dunlop sp9000 and toyo proxes t1 r

Neither of these I can find in the us but I know people run them here. anyone know a site that I can offer either of these off of? The proxes look a little narrower but both run narrower than anything I can get us made..
Everybody says go s drive but no one can show me how they stretch on an eight lol I just want be able to fox my fenders and know a tire I can go to after my 512's

 

[rar40941]

Hey guys I am just wondering I am slammed right now and I wanted to see how close ur tie rods are to ur frame and when I hit big bumps I think my tie roads hit my frame I don't think that is supposed to happen lol so can some one let me now here if ur tie rods hit ur frame at all

 

[Chefsp0t]

Can I get an updated picture on the first page? The flares are being painted now so new pictures will be up soon.

Also I think I talked myself into stepping down to 17s for the winter. Probably going to go with 17x9.75 +25 xxr 527s with 215/40/17 Falken 912s on them. It will give me more clearance with the smaller tires. Plus it will lower the car some with the smaller diameter tires so I can raise it slightly for clearance if needed.

Here's the overlay of the new wheels on the old.

Why not just get taller tires for the winter wheels? Then you won't have to touch the coils and still get more clearance from the taller tire?
