Who's up for a little cruise tomorrow? All this rain is pi$$in' me off, and I NEED ME SOME TWISTIES!!!!!!!! Its suppose to be cool temps, great for engine temps and cruising.

I think I'll be going early afternoonish on WI side and possibly head south to redwing depending on road conditions.

 

I would be down except I still have to attach my splash guard to my Kuruma. Its just kinds sitting in there now and when I go over 80 is comes out and starts dragging. I actually ordered the replacement aluminum splash guard. It should be here on Tues

 

Ok, figured out the wheel situation again. Apparently Forgestar is changing to a new mold for the F14's and it's just slightly different. They only have bits and pieces of the old mold wheels but not enough to match my original order. They also won't be making 10" wheels anymore so I'm going with 10.5's now. They're sticking to the original quote which is one positive aspect as 10.5's cost more. The goal is to be flush all around... no poke with 2 degrees or less camber. Below is what I'm thinking for now. Any thoughts before I send in the specs?


F: 20x9 +25 245/35/20

R: 20x10.5 +50 275/30/20

 

Wow .. +50 Im interested to see what the sedan guys/girls have to say.. seems pretty high.. I dont think ive ever seen +50 before for a sedan

 

Correct, but I looked at Janik's setup with 10.5's and +45 and that was too agressive for my taste. Also.... I don't want to run 3 degrees of camber

 

I texted Mike and his wheels are +48 and he's running 2* camber. I think I'll just have to meet up with him and take a really good look.

 

If its similar to mike's you should be fine. I know for my 19s they recommended +32s, so Im curious on how yours are gonna look!

 

Trev, didn't realize you had also ordered an exhaust already! You are definitely set after your install this week of your coils!!

 

He really said they're +48? ....They're actually +45. Ohhhh Mike. Vossen doesn't even make a +48 offset.

Joe I would do a little more research. Janiks offsets on his wheels was perrrrfect. Did you see his car after he dropped it?? The wheels tucked perfect, camber wasn't bad, and it was flush. I'd highly recommend going w/ the same specs he had. (or close)

the size of the actual rim doesn't make any differences with the size of the offsets. Its still the exact same about of poke or mm off of the hub.

 

Yea my car sat perfectly with a 10.5 +45. Didn't rub either. Literally it was dialed in damn near perfectly


Sorry Andrew and I aren't posting much this weekend! We moved apartments and have had a ridiculously tiring past 3 days. We don't have Internet either. 1 26 foot uhaul an 2 g sedans packed to the roof. Our cars share the same garage now which is sick to come out to haha

 

Alright. After reading all this I think I'm just going to run +37 all around for my wheels...

 

Thanks for the input guys. I'm going with +29 up front and +47 in the back (a few pubes less aggressive than Janik / Mike in back.... more aggressive up front). Mike ended up texting me back last night saying his rear offset was +45 so Ohhhhh Mike figured it out I'm curious to find out what exactly changed in the molds as the whole thing sounds fishy to me.......

 

That should sit cleanly joe!


In another news, the Rennens sold today!! Yay!!! Didn't lose my *** too badly either! Wheels are shipped tomorrow and the money has already been transferred!

 

RKC meet tomorrow. Anyone go?

 

Nice Joe. I'm loving the sounds of that. Your car is damn clean even w/ stock wheels, so definitely excited to see what the future brings.

Congrats Janik!

Still contemplating if I'm going or not. We'll see how the weather is this afternoon. The wife asked if I would do some errands w/ her tonight. With our trip coming up in 2 short weeks, and already and event planned next Saturday, kiiiinda need to put the time in before we leave w/ her.

I'll let you guys know asap!
