Am I doing this aggressive wheel stuff right?

 

Looks good. couple things tho. For THIS thread, your tires are too wide. Trim the edges and then you'll be good. Also, you need to have your wheels re-barreled to fit that wide. Only noobs by crappy wheels then space the ish outta them to create something they don't really have.

 

Pretty sure craig is just messing around.

 

Sparco is correct. I'm just being a fool. I feel like rocking 3 spacers on one side is a bad idea haha.
And I'm not a fan of stretched tires. I like the fat. That's a 275/35 on a 9.5" wide wheel

 

Ummm...yeah. I-I got it. I ...nevermind. lol

 

Lmao stop trolling

 

I was swapping from winter wheels to volks for a car show so I figured I might as well see what it looked like with all the spacers haha. That was a total of 65mm...

 

Ah memories... car's no longer of this world, everything's back to OEM!

 

What's next Dee?

 

Putting the Z up for sale next month. In the meantime, I'm waiting for the shop to complete a single turbo bridgeported 20B swap in my RX-7 (FD), the car's been sitting for quite a while now... So many custom and rare parts had to be ordered from all around the globe to make it possible. Also way more complicated and expensive than what people say on forums, but in the end I'm confident it'll be worth the wait! We're expecting ~700whp on pump gas and moderate boost.

 

Until an apex seal lets go or you get a vacuum leak

 

Gorgeous Z!! Sitting like that I would of traded my supra for it!

 

What upper control arms do you all use?! My car keeps making a creaking noise when I turn and its my upper ball joints (see pictures) and my car ripped through them. There are lower cars then me and I am just not understanding why my car does this. Please help.

 

I'm actually using stock control arms as of now. Your arms may just be worn out. If you've got high mileage on your car, the extra added stress of the adverse angle of them may be enough to give you the sounds you're experiencing. If you've got new parts and the issue is still happening, then get your alignment checked. Based on what you've shared, I would venture some exploration into your tie rod ends. But, that's just a guess. Good luck.

 

I use SPL Front Upper Control Arms

I use SPC UCAs. I still get the knocking noise when I hit a large bump, even after cutting holes to try to get them to be quiet haha

 

Here is a little tease of my new setup.... Still need to get a alignment, my spec are all out of wack (as you can tell from the driver rear vs the passenger rear fitment).. Plan to run 0 camber/toe rear and around -4.5camber up front..

 

Looks like you could run more tire

 

yeah I was thinking that also.. I might run a 275/40 instead of the 275/35 But nothing bigger then a 275 for me.. its a drift car..

 

I hope I posted this in the right place so her goes. I just purchased a set of ag F121. Fronts 20x10.5 -5 offset and rears 20x11.5 -7 offset. I need help with tires. I've never owned 20's before and want to get the right tire to get a nice stretch. I'm also on air suspension. I've spent countless hours online searching different setups (tyrestretch, rim tuck, stance nation and lots of other forums) and have an idea of what I want but come to a wall when I don't what size.

I really like how these tires sit: 245/30/20 on a 10.5" rim.


And these: With a little more sidewall. 255/35/19 on a 11.5" rim.


This is what i've come up with:

245/30/20 For the fronts. Or maybe a 35 sidewall for more of a meaty look like in the second photo, but then I don't know what size to go with the width to keep the look of that tire in the first photo. As for the rears. I have no idea. Maybe 255/30/20? And again, maybe a 35 sidewall for more meat. But what about the width?

I fooled around with this offset calculator a bit. What do you guys think?


Please! Any recommendations/opinions are greatly appreciated. Thank you guys!
