The Official SQC Wheel Thread


Recommended Posts

Ok well I can finally post my rims here.

 

2. Front wheel dimensions 18X9.5 +22

3. Front spacer dimension 20MM bolton hub and rim centric

4. Front tire dimension 245 35 18

5. If coilovers w/ cut spring perches are necessary on the front Not "necessary" but without doing so clearence would be super tight.

Front camber is also currently set at 0 deg.

 

 

6. Rear wheel dimensions 18X11 +20

7. Rear spacer dimension if used 25MM bolton hub and rim centric

8. Rear tire dimension 285 35 18

9. If coilovers w/ cut spring perches are necessary on the rear Not "necessary" but without doing so clearence would be super tight.

Rear camber is also currently sat at 0 deg.

^^^wheels are low disk faces for max lip...cost a lot the relip/rebarrel cause they're 2 piece...its lip and other is face/barrel which are welded...I picked up a set of work vskfs that'll be relip/rebarreled so I won't need spacers...

well I know it would be a blatant copy of venable's car but they look so good that I am thinking about these. Is there any way the fronts will fit without major surgery? Have D2s with camber plates in the rear.

This would be insane looking with the offset front and rear.

those are 10 's front and 12 rears, not 12's all around.

 

you'll need at least a 30mm spacer out back, I have a 33mm and a 295/30 on the rear, with about 3° of camber, it JUST tucks in the folded over lip (no pulling, just folded over). Up front you'll probably need at least a 15mm spacer to clear the strut. Crazy Quest is running an 18x10 +12 with a slip on 5mm spacer (+7 combined).

 

I haven't bought the 18x10's for the front yet, I only have the 12's right now. but I'm gonna probably run a 20-25mm spacer once I do get them (probably won't be till next year), along with a 245/35 tire. But my plan is to experiment with coloring on them.

 

So copy away by all means ;)

I was hoping to not have to tub the front which it sounds like I wouldn't have to do. I think they would look great in a bronze color on my olive grey starion. I think it would be a year before I could afford the tires for the darn things though :blink:. I could believe what some of the tires that size cost. I was thinking 295/30 on the rear which I see is what you have then 255/30 or 35 on the front. I was also thinking of flaring the arches just a touch, like the rear of conquestador, to give a bit more clearance and it looks nice.Have to see what kind of financial aid school decides to give me for the summer. They give that aid to you for car parts right? Edited by 383chevelle

It's less an issue of the wheel well being able to take the tire and more an issue of clearing suspension, and stearing parts, and the inside frame rails when turning.

wheels completely coarse sandblasted, all color and texture equalized due to the process . raw aluminum then clearcoated.

I got lucky on those 295's, found them on craigslist, only a couple hundred miles on them for $150 for the pair. You can't even buy one tire that size for that.

yes that size is pricy. cheapest I saw is around $170, but if you go with 285/30s, they are only $110 each for these federal 595s which are pretty good tires http://www.onlinetires.com/products/vehicle/tires/federal/285%252F30-18+federal+595+evo+97y.html

What size spacers do I need, not looking for a ton of camber... I've got 18x9 +25 in the front and 18x10.5 +20 in the rear.

I have d2's and rear camber plates if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance, I'll post pics as soon as they're on ;)

Go buy a box of washers, add same amount of washers to each stud till rim fits, and does not rub. Measure stack of washers and get adapter that size.

 

WIth that size and offset your going to want bolt on adapters not spaces also.

Think this thread was started as the show off your rims type thread not a Q/A thread. You don't "need" to run adapters, but unfortunatly we run a funky offset (back spacing) so unless your willing to pay for custom rims, or have a 2 or 3 peice rim put together to the offset you need most of us have just said screw it and bought adaptors. They are adapting the same bolt pattern to the same bolt patern they just move the mounting face outward. If you run the stock rims you got no issue.

yes I realized that after the post....still learning this car and I don't even have one (physically) yet. after I asked, went back and looked at the car I was trying to buy and realized the wheel is a 5 lug. thanks
