finalforce your car is just too sick man

 

moreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

Old thread, don't care! I finally got my SSR Type Fs in flat black in; after 3 months of waiting! Will get pics up soon :-D

 

^ I'm a big fan of the type F's, congrats on some solid wheels. Post pics when mounted.

 

Congrats dude!!

 

Thanks guys! I just ordered Sumitomo HTR Z IIIs, 265/40-18 front and 275/40-18 rear. wheels are 18x9 +27 front and 18x9.5 +22 rear. I'm hoping the front will squeeze in. Although I know it should based on an article from modified mag a while back where they put 275/40 on 18x9 +30 and it barely worked, I bought this car used and I'm not sure if the first dude put some lower springs on it. A mechanic I know commented that they look aftermarket, but right now it's sporting 245/40-19 (unsure of offset) in the front. Somebody reassure me here. I don't want this to turn into a ridiculous fitment/offset thread tho, so don't kill me.

 

those sizings seem off just comparing them to what I run
265/35/18 front on a 18x9
295/35/18 rear on a 18x10

off the top of my head, thinking you should have gotten a 265/35 front and 285/35 rear. Your rears might be fine, but I think the fronts will be too tall relative to the rear tires

 

Yeah, I know what you're saying. I don't have VDC or anything, my Z is the '03 Base model. Is that what you mean when you say too tall in relation to the rears? To be more specific, the thing I'm worried about now that I bought the tires is the front tires clearing the upper mounts on the inside. See here : http://www.modified.com/projectcars/...t_2/index.html

I think if my springs are stock I should be fine (would lower springs affect this?), but thinking back, because I bought it used, I'm just hoping the guy didn't put some hotchkis springs or something similar that might have lowered it a bit. It's running 245/40-19 right now, and when I run the sizes on a tire size calculator, they look to be pretty similar, except that I have no idea what offsets the current wheels are, and the dealership refused to give me the previous owners phone # or anything so I could contact him to ask. Maybe worst case scenario I go with 35 profiles and eat the cost, or 255/40s?

I got these put on the last week of August, after ordering them in May.

 

^Looking good, specs?

 

Looking good man... love the black on black with those Type F. How was the waiting? Worth receiving? lol (i hope so)

I want ms1 so bad... but i'm not the kind of guy who likes to wait.

 

 

searched the thread for sp3 but nothing came up. Nobody has SSR's newer wheel the SP3? http://www.ssr-wheels.com/wheels/sp3_181920.asp

 

Cerberus(lol, reminds me of Mass Effect) how do you like those KDW tires? I've had those before and loved them, moreso than T1Rs that I've had.
