gottraction Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Waiting on my +22mm spacers for the front then ill take more pics. These are XXR 521s 18x8.5s and 18x10s +25 with 30mm spacers in the rear and soon to be 22mm spacers in the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Please stay away from truck wheels... And rpf1's are useless without spacers on our cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mingo1 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 You have a side shot of those xxr 521? I like them but didn't want to run spacers especially not in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gottraction Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 i think i may have one on my computer. ill be snapping more after monday. I should be +22 in the front and +30 out back. i dont think the 18x10 +25 would clear the suspension without a spacer of somesort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-O Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hmm, nice. I've been considering the 521s for my Starion, but going 18x10" all around. Looks good I think, even though they're 18"s. I personally think SQs look best with 17"s, but I'm just being picky. I've noticed on a 10" wide wheel out back, a Combined offset (wheel + adapter) of -15 to -20 fits best. My Cobras were -23mm combined and was rather HellaFlush for my liking, but they were also 10.5"s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gottraction Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 the +30s look awesome to me. i can fit my 255s without major rolling the rear fenders. its almost flush. yea these are 10s. i started to go 10s all around but it just begins to be a hassle. and im more of a true stagger fan with these cars. these 18s dont look big. do the the lip and the glass black face . its a big car with big fenders so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-O Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) The more I look at it, the more I like the stagger, but the 8.5" doesn't have enough dish for my liking. To be honest, the 10" doesn't either, but for the price, they're good enough. I'm a big fan of the flat black ones myself, but a quick trip to the powdercoaters can change that.

gottraction Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 yea i was gonna go with the flat black but i have flat black p45s on it before so it was time to go with something more shiny/clean. the 8.5 looks small to the 10. but these spacers that come in monday will do the trick and it will flush out. i dont need to run anything bigger than a 10 until im making some power lol. Post a pic when u get them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-O Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I'm sure by the time I get wheels for the Starion, XXR will have their CCW knockoffs (531s) available in a 5-bolt pattern haha. I've got to finish the front suspension and column swap first, then I can measure for new wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DurbenQuest Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 d2's sitting on ADR 5 cypher wheels. 8.5 front +45 offset, 9.5 rear +35 offset. (not some fancy 2 or 3 piece wheels) got a good deal on them, fixed one of the rears (really bad curb rash) and polished the lips and waxed. http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i51/cowcowmoo/2012-04-14171806.jpghttp://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i51/cowcowmoo/2012-04-14171909.jpghttp://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i51/cowcowmoo/563718_10150959098122575_674507574_13273614_2133838506_n.jpghttp://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i51/cowcowmoo/545188_10150959110587575_674507574_13273670_1760275753_n.jpghttp://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i51/cowcowmoo/2012-04-14171923.jpghttp://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i51/cowcowmoo/2012-04-14172032.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pc85 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) I kinda liked the older ones Im not a chrome fanNot chrome, mirror polished instead of machine finish.

pc85 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Incorrect, my friend. Tires-Easy.com 225/45/16 tires link hereI was referring to a specific link for Nexen tires, that site did not have 225-45-16's. I have since found that size on other sites and thanks for the link. Mute point anyway, what I really needed and couldn't find except for track and competition $$$ were 245-40-16's so I went to a 17" rim with a lot more options for tire sizes.
