Default Black Work XD9s 18x10 +18 All Around

I thought I'd finally post pics of my setup. Powdercoated black Work XD9s 18x10 +18 (courtesy of A Spec Logan...buy all your shiet from him) on Dunlop DZ101 255/35/18s all around. 15mm spacer on the rear. Stock fenders. HKS Hipermax RS as low as they will go. Yeah, camber is fcuked right now. Waiting til spring for the SPL Parts front and rear arms. BTW, I have no affiliation with them.






That's me...e-brake turn racing...aka drifting.

The tires are the wrong diameter. Looks strange. Why did you go with that tire size?

you rear tires don't rub? with an effective +3 mm offset and not rolling your fenders ...I have the CR Kai +20mm and there's not enough room to fit a finger between the tire and interior portion of the fender (I'm lower ~ 2.5")

I like the rims but I have to ask. What is the point of getting a 10" wide rim to run a 255 tire? Unless you want the stretch look?

I understand that but he could have saved some money and get some 18 x8.5 and still be able to use a 255. I mean why sport a 10" wide rim but use a skinny tire for that application, unless he is intentionally going for the stretch look.

I was thinking about the Battle Version arms but I didn't want to go full coilover in the rear. BV definitely makes good products tho.

I don't know what size tires you're running but I'm definitely not rubbing with +3 effective, 255 tires and the camber I'm running. I'm gonna try a 265/35 next with a rolled fender and less camber.

I wanted to go the same size all around to rotate tires. And I didn't want it to rub at full angle lock and compression during drifting. 265s will definitely rub up front at full lock.

It looks kinda ****ty in these pics because my camera sucks and the sun was going down.

I wanted a lil bit of stretch. I personally hate that fat sidewall look when you put a regular 275/40 or bigger on say a 9.5. I don't think it looks right with the Z's wide/bulging fenders. Plus the turn-in response sucks *** with those huge sidewalls.
