Re: Slammed Third Gens - Post Pics
Yea I will keep these for sure , I got lucky and got them thru a trade deal for some arc 8 wheels I used to have so I couldn't resist lol
All the wheels I've gotten since the chrome budnik have been gotten thru trades and or selling wheels to get the set I want I've luck out and thru the whole process I haven't spent much prob couple 100 bucks here and there and gas money that's about it out of pocket cost was not a factor cause there wasn't any it was a long process but worth it
Barter trade and sell lol
Stupid light 19lb 18x10 all around
Looking for a 18x10 track setup tho !!!

Re: Slammed Third Gens - Post Pics
Yup, I really want to know the offset as well. I've got the same width wheel and was planning on using the same size tire, and now they I see it I know it'll be the perfect amount of stretch and the fitment is exactly how I want mine to end up.

Re: Slammed Third Gens - Post Pics
22 front and 24 iirc in rear
If your wheel are in 25 offset range using a inch rear spacer will get the look you want I'll say a .75" spacer would be perfect 1" is really pushing it
You will need to roll rear fender really good
For front I can go flusher like I said before but plastic fender well would need to be removed and fender rolled also but dirty gets slung everywhere especially in the door hinge area and didn't really like that
I really want to pull of a fender flare idea I have front rear and get more race inspired more aggressive

Re: Slammed Third Gens - Post Pics
For got to mention rear tire size is 275 and front 255
For 10.5 usally a 275 will get the stretch you want with a 10" it depends on tire but 275-265 depending on tire
On 9.5 a 265 and or 255 will do.
But I have 275 and 255/35 yes it's taller tire but it fills the wheel well so much better

Re: Slammed Third Gens - Post Pics
Thank you. Not sure where the solar wing came from. Was an xmas gift from my wife.
As far as offset, im not sure. They were a direct bolt up for my car. No spacers or anything.

Re: Slammed Third Gens - Post Pics
Pretty good actually. I don't race or auto-x my car (did it more for looks) but compared to what it was it seems a bit more planted than with the factory springs.

Re: Slammed Third Gens - Post Pics
Not yet, it's close though. In order for me to bring the rear down to match the front I need to c-notch the rear inner gender where the numb stop mount is to allow for axle tube clearance, then I need to either have the shocks shortened or relocate the lower shock mount a couple inches lower for acceptable travel. After that I need to measure the clearance to the gas tank.

Re: Slammed Third Gens - Post Pics
What specs are you running for your wheels? 20's? I've been wanting to run 18x10.5 all the way around, just not sure of fitment due to the front hub snout.
That is the only issue regarding the fronts. I'm running 18x9 with a 1.25" spacer to fit my XXR 526s.

I wish I could contribute to this thread but I live in MA and the roads here suck so Im stuck with the Pro Kit. Id love to do Air Ride but I just dont want a big air tank in the back taking up space. Besides. Not too sure how it would even ride and handle on these roads.

you dont have to have a big air tank, and air-ride shouldnt affect ride or handling, depdning on how you set it up. --plenty of videos and information on youtube and airridetechs website.

Grifter757, that's a nice ride. We definitely need to see more pics from more angles. Outside for sure. I like the front bumper mod too! All that air going to the intercooler. Sweet.
