+1 for full shots of the car.

 

Will try to take some pics tonight after work if the sun is still out.

 

danchoi what offsets you go with? did you put the oem TPMS on?

 

i THINK they said 39/42?
i just know they were the most conservative ones. i don't think they made 32/39 for this model like they do on their other wheels.
They actually sit pretty close to flush. huge improvement over the stock wheel stance.

and also, due to demand, decided to take some impromptu photos after work today, they are uploading now.

**oops, and yes i did swap the oem sensors into the wheels.

 

Looks great.

 

Very clean!

 

Did you recently get the eibachs, the gap seems significant? What size tires are you running.

I ask b/c i just bought a set of 086 with Hankooks (F 235/30/20 R 255/30/20) and will be dropped on eibachs also.

 

On eibachs I would switch tires to 245/35/20 and rear 275/30/20 if you prefer it if course.

 

No I liked the stretched tires with aggressive offset makes the car look WIDE. Thick tires make the car look square IMO

[ll]-----[ll] compared to [lll]---[lll]

I'm just concerned that the tire size may lead to an increase in the fender gap, especially in the front, I calculated it with a tire size calculator and the difference in height top/bottom of the tire vs stock is roughly 1.4 inches less. Can this be right? If so how noticeable can it really be?

Sorry bro I don't mean to jack your thread.

 

Me 2 these wheels are sick with stretched tires man it's a real great looking finish also.... Matt silver really looks clean on red also ... Great choice one of my fav wheels.

 

it depends on your offsets, My 86's are 39 rear and 38 front. With the eibachs and those offsets you should really run 245/35 and 275/30. Hope that helps. Btw, I'm going to get a 10mm spacers for the front so i'll be at +28 front, should be flush then... rears look good as is...

 

Offset is F +20 R +25

 

Looks awesome man, I'm in the minority because I prefer tires that fit. I think yours look great.

I would however ditch that sewell badge, unless they are sponsoring your mods.

 

not really my style...but possibly a drop will help w/ my initial opinion

 

I am constantly getting complements on my car since getting these wheels ! Best investment ever! Pure Sex..
