Hey I was wondering if anybody had some pics of 18x7.5 +45 on there cl. I am wondering how they will look in our wheel well. How flush they sit. Thanks a lot

 

best pic I have right now, I have more at home, if you want

an older one before I dropped it some more



i forget if mine are +42 or +45, but they dont sit all too flush cause of my mad camber, yo

 

Hey klepto I read in one of your previous threads that if you knew more about rims when you bought yours, you would have gotten a different size. If you were to get new rims for your whip what size would they be? Thanks

 

just something with a more aggresive offset, and maybe try running 8" something along the lines of 18x8 +30ish or maybe even running a staggered setup

 

woohoo

shoot, I love Klepto's setup even as-is


but yeah, our fenders are pretty accommodating in terms of width and offset...at least a lot more than probably most people think. I believe the fronts are good for up to an 8.5 with 40 series tires and mid 30 offset, while the rears are good for up to 9 with a 40 series and mid 30 offset with fender rolling, though I think probably even a 9.5 with a little more stretch and full fender roll

there's really no need to stick to a +4x offset with our cars...they can take a lot, lot more...

 

I have 18x7.5 - 45 offset

 

-45?!

 

jDmY0 Dash, not minus.

+45

 

just wondering, how much hw and torque are you getting with those mods?

 

How much hp and torque he gets from rims he doesn't have yet?

 

If they're lighter, he can see small gains on a dyno.

less rotational mass = slightly more power

But it's not something that usually comes into mind when buying rims unless you're a track junky or horsepower crazy. In this case, he's buying them because he likes the way they look. And to get actual figures, either do the math, or put it on the dyno.

 

i think hes asking about the OP's sig

1997 2.2cl
Silver
AEM Cold Air Intake
OBX SS Header
OBX Cat-Back Exhaust
Ksport Coilovers
Forbidden Short-Shifter
Exedy Stage 1 Clutch
Fidanza 8lbs Flywheel

 

 

Dont know I am to cheap to dyno it.

Man I want to get these rims


but the only thing that is turning me off is the +45 offset what does the acurazine crew recomend?

 

keep shopping

 

get something with a lip!! prefer deep dish

 

yea this is wat i was asking about. thanks distinctive. Sorry i didn't put it down. but yea i have a 97 2.2cl and just looking around for mods and see what works and what doesn't. I'm more interested in hp/torque rather than sound thought so if anyone has a reccomendation i'll happy to hear it.
