artinist Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 picked up these OZ Competition wheels and had them completely stripped, sandblasted and powdercoated. they are 17x8.5 (+13mm) and 17x10.5 (+19mm) the biggest tires i was able to put in the fronts without rubbing were 245/40, i tried some 255/40 but since i am using the big brake kit and that has almost a 1/4" of spacer it would have rubber sometimes so i switched back. the rears are 275/40 but it fit 315/35s also but they were too expensive. they will sit another 1/4" out once i get my longer studs to put a thicker spacer, right now i have a 1/4" spacer. http://home.earthlink.net/~antimpower/images/wheels/01.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~antimpower/images/wheels/02.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~antimpower/images/wheels/03.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~antimpower/images/wheels/04.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotrodTSi Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Are those 9 1/2 " wide or 10? What brand and backspacing? Personnally, I never like the black wheels on a light colored car, but think they look great on dark ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turborusty Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Art, we need to see the whole car and a look from the rear at the width of the tire. I like it so far though. Turborusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustPaus_88TSi Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Looks very good, way way better than stockers.. And maybe lighter?(or at least not that much heavier). Dark wheels+light color=pimp city ;D I wouldn't have it any other way.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeteeracer Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 that looks really nice! ;D 8) ;D 8) what kind of rims are those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoFastBeater Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I think I need to see the whole car before I can say if I like it or not. That looks like a perfect ride height for those wheels though. I don't like the look of the cars with ST springs. It looks like they have two midgets sitting in the hatch.

artinist Posted April 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 these are just eye candy. even the cheapers 17" race tires are too expensive. they make the car look serious though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADAM If you look real close at the pic in my sig, you can almost make out the midgets. You should see the car rock when they F%#K back there!!! ;D ;D Thanks for giving away my secret Adam > Turborusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell yeah they make it look serious.. Those shoulda been stock.. ;D How much do they weigh? My 7's and 8's weighed 31lbs(7") and 32lbs(8") with tires.. Seriously though, your car must be insane on the corners with those, plus all your suspension goodies.. Palermo gray? I love that color..(which ever one it is ;D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teeteeracer Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 cool! thanks ;D ;D do you think we can run the same offsets like the ones used for the 350Z's? with a little modifications of course. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted April 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Track 18" 350Z wheels. F-18x8 - 18.188lbs - offset +0.30mm R-18x8.5 - 18.629lbs - offset +0.33mm seems like they will need 1" spacers in the back and 1/2" in the front.
