Got my new rims on...

Enkei NT03+M 18x9.5 +27mm & 18x10.5 +30mm

Wrapped in Kumho ECSTA MX 265/35/18 Front & 295/35/18 Rear

No modification needed for the front to fit, still pleanty of room. The rear I cut the fenders. I could have rolled them but I wanted to cut them. They are tucked. In these pix I have a small IKEA desk weighting 50lbs in the rear I need to take out I just got this weekend. So the rear is sitting down a little more then it will without it.

Message me for package deals for Enkei wheels like this with any rubber combination.

After I clean Up my car I will go take some better pictures. And when the sun is out too.

 

You finally got them! Looks Great!! congrats, was it really necessary to cut the fender in the rear? how about with a 275/ tire?

 

Damn they look good how much do they cost and wiegh

 

yes it was for these... I cut away about 3/4" material. I would rub with my 275/40/18 NISMO Wheel set up +30mm offset... this gives me a little room for tire flex on the track...

 

List price on the wheels alone is $1530 for the set of 4 in the sizes I have. Tires will be extra.

Each wheel weights just about 20lbs. I think the rears were 21. They are a very strong wheel...

Size: 18" x 10.5"

Offset: +30mm
Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3
Bore Diameter: 72.6
Weight: 21.0lbs
Color: F1 Silver

Featuring:

MAT = Most Advanced Technology:
Shapes the rim using rolling forged technology, improving the rim's material elongation without sacrificing its hardness. A rim that is shaped by the MAT process is 10% - 15% lighter.


SC Process:
Improves the hardness of the disc surface, eliminating stress that is recieved while the vehicle is moving. Disc strength is improved by 20% - 30% yet remains lightweight.


Brace Ring:
Perimeter ring enhances the wheel's ability to resist deformation or distortion from outer forces, creating extremely accurate steering response and strength.


Twin Valve:
Technology found on racing wheels which allows for accurate monitoring while adjusting the pressure with either air or nitrogen.

 

Wow, I really like that.

You appear to be close to spec camber...I'm running the same rubber front and rear with different offsets, but haven't lowered the car much due to camber issues. Any suggestions on equipment that will allow a drop and keep the camber close to specs.

Really, Really nice car.

 

Jason,

Any idea on weight of the tires, or weight of the wheel/tire together?

 

Oh I am no where near stock spec. I am full slam on HKS Hipermax II's with NO camber adjustment front or rear. I want a more aggressive camber angle for when I am at the track... Can always cross rotate the tires...

But, we have front upper control arms and offer the rear stillen camber and toe arms if you want to put your car at factory spec. or even more closer to 0degrees camber.

PM me for special deals on the adjustment packages...

I would be afraid of rubbing problems if my camber was not as negitive as it was now...

 

I have to take them off later in the week so I will weight them with tires...

but, they do not feel heavier then my nismo's...

 

Jason, your car isn't low enough You need to lower it more and throw some adjustble camber arms in the back! With -3.5 deg camber in the rear you never have to worry about tire rub

 

id like to make it lower but the springs already move if there is no pressure on them....

 

Jason... do the 18x9.5 clear Track model Brembo brakes???

 

they will clear stop tech / factory brembo / ap / willwood brakes...

i will be checking to see if they clear mr.b's 15" endless brakes some time this week...

I will be getting stop tech 13" front and 12.9" rear kit when I can afford it :-/

 

No offense, but what did you cut that fender with......an old can opener??

I've heard the cutting the fender like that can weaken it sustantially, so that under stress it can easily buckle.

 

well...

first we took this disc cutter thingy and then a high powered dremmel type thingy to shave it down even more... did it with not taking how it looks to mind... just wanted to chop it off... ill clean it up at some point... for now it does the job

im not picky...

 

very nice!!

a little OT... but it looks like that despite the nismo exhaust, pop charger and RT cats, you're still running rich that's sweet... have you done any ecu work?

 

NO ECU Work...

and actually my tips dont look as dark as they did before i put my STOCK CATS BACK ON!

Im running stock cats rite now...

but, before my tips were even darker then that I was not running lean... no ECU work... i just drive it hard all the time

 

Time to track that monster! Buttonwillow, next weekend. A NASA event.

No sleeping in this time!

 

Nice rims Jason...

I'm still waiting on mine. In the meantime I've been wondering as to whether or not I was going to have roll my fenders. I have close to the same offset as you. My rims are 19 by 10.5" with a +29 offset. My car is stock height and I wanted to leave it that way. I'm putting 295/35/19 Yokohama AVS tires on there.

Do you or does anybody else think I will have to roll my fenders?

 

Yeah I wanna...

I might beable to make it... I gotta see... I cant go this weekend going to VIR!
