So basically, i just want to know what rims does everyone have and what size, offset, width and etc...i'm serious about picking up a set of racing hart c2s, from LA, and i just wanna be sure people have had them and it works.

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb...080012470.html

thats the set i'ma pick up. just waiting on them to respond back! got my government money coming in soon and i really want to pick these up...the ones in the bay that i found, 17s, were sold, so i'm gonna pick these up...

also, if you had any bad camber with bigger sized rims, or any problems with fitment...please specify! i'd like to know!

Bolt Pattern: 4x100, 4x114.3
Size: 18x7.5 +37 offset
225/40/18 Kumho Ecsta tires 70% tread

thats the specifications of the racing harts i'm going to grab within the next week...i did a semi-search...but i don't know if i searched hard enough!

 

nice pickup, they look like they need a refinishing though from the closeup pictures.
just look at fliplyricist's wheel specs "front=18x8 +27 rear=18x9 +36" plus he added spacers after that, so if you can't fit 7.5" wide and +37 on your car then i dunno...
and i've heard some ppl needed to run spacers for the high 30's offsets, but you don't know untill you try them with your set up.
come to think of it i think those people were running atleast 8" wide wheels, so you got another atleast 10mm of clearance compared to a 8" wide @ high 30's offset
i'm in the process of either trying to decide/buy a set in 18x8 +25 all around
goodluck

 

id say roll your fenders.
go to a 205, or a 215 series tire to get some stretch.
and space em out to sit flush.

i think it would look sick. maybe even if you powdercoated them bronze

 

i was thinkin about powdercoating them bronze. there's a lot of scratches on those rims, but it'll be cool once it's all done. DO you guys think i'll be needing a camber kit or anything? i'm rolling around fine without it for the time being...and i'm dropped a bit. not a massive drop, but enough to get that wheel gap to go away. with 18s, i have a feeling i might. also thinking about extended studs...i've seen a couple online for cheap. and my mechanic would hook it up, so labor costs wouldn't be that bad.

 

thanks for the info, that really helps! i can't wait to grab them haha. i'll do a photoshoot with those bad boys on once i pick them up. my bday present to myself

 

hey joe will you have these on in time for our mini-meet on the 5th??

 

yeah that's the plan. i'm picking them up next weekend dude

 

you have 18s brandon, whats the offset on those badboys?

 

STOCKIES!

woot

 

i have those too

 

let me get ur stockies hahah

 

so that size gives the look of a wider wheel ?

 

I have 18x7.5 waiting for tires, just got my muteki lugs for them today

Need tires...


My buddy humpin my rims

 

18x7.5, +42 offset

dang chris those look nice!! can't wait to see what they look like on your car!!

 

Me too, was gonna use my tax return to get tires, but ended up having to pay my local school tax with all of it

 

Guys, let me get this clear. I'm looking at a set of wheels and tires, with the above specs, except +42, which is our 2.3CL's offset, from what I understand. I just wanted to clarify, do I need any wheel spacers, hubcentric rings, anything like that. Also, keep in mind, I might add an adjustable shock possible later or at the same time. Should I also be going narrower on the tire, like a 215/45 instead? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

 

Same as Chris, but in black, 16s. Picking up 17x7 Königs this summer, paired with 215/45 tires.

 

what kind of offset would i need for my wheels? i plan on running 16x7 but i dont know whether +45 or +48 would be better.

 

nice find joe, always wanted those rims when i had the CL but never came across a good deal. can't wait to see them on, gonna look

 

yeah, i already contacted the dude, and the deal is set. getting ready to pick them up next weekend. then i'm gonna find a good wheel shop to powdercoat them badboys. so yeah, with +37 offset do you guys think it'd be best run spacers? or naw?

 

dude those rims are awesome! new rims are so sick

 

you guys don't need spacers for anything lower than +50, you don't have bbk, so you don't have to worry about clearance.

 

what do u guys would look good on my primerose? i might try to get 17's but idk what to get or what would look good.

 

^ for a 7.5" wide tire that's probably right,
but for the other people on here considering wider wheels than that, especially with not insanely stretched tires, i don't know if that would be true.
I know with aqua's vielsides he said he would probably need spacers and his wheels were high 30's low 40's offsets, with a 8" and a 9" width

 

Custom powdercoated 99 3.0 wheels

Sandblasted

 

with a 8.5+ width i would imagine you'd need spacers, but i dont think anyone on here is running anything that wide.

 

is your avatar supposed to be the horney monkey who bit the womans face off?

 

negative sir.

 

lol

 

must have took alot of work getting those rims like that ... they sweet.

 

have you been riding dropped for long? what did your alignment printout look like? i have neuspeed sports with kyb agx's, and i had to get a camber kit. (1.75"F/1.5"R) i ate through tires without it for 3 years before i decided enough was enough.

to answer your question, 225/40/18 with a drop is fine. i never have any rubbing issues. my rims are also 18x7.5", i forget the offset though. only difference is the steering wheel feel and braking. have to brake harder with rims, not as much stopping power and the steering wheel is easier to turn with rims. when i had stock suspension with my rims i rubbed when i hit any dips, but once i put in the suspension never again. not through potholes, hitting speed humps at 40mph (they put one on my street one morning without any notice, left them black so i didn't see it till it was too late... didn't rub though haha), cornering, etc..

 

that's good news to me haha!

My buddy rode with stretched tires...said he couldn't go above 80mph

your rims are awesome! look's so clean and fresh



oooohhh, i have coilovers. My ride height is perfect at the moment, probably will have to readjust once i get those rims on, camber kit, and a realignment! i've been saving up for this day

 

OP, i have seen that guy before. he was jocking my CL while i was at a shell station filling up.

 

seen who?

 

the guy that is selling the C2's

 

oooooo that makes sense. remember how'd they look on his car? gonna get them this weekend...dang i have insomnia status

 

yea i feel you man. i have been up for about 30 hours now because of this lower back pain that i have. Exactly how they look in the picture (the one on the car on CL) if i recall. its been awhile though.

 

i just ordered new rims. the last ones i bought were backordered so they gave me a deal on some new ones. ther MB drifters. 16X7 4X114.3 +38 offset

 

i feel like napping but i can't seem to either... been up for a long time now haha

they look really good on his car...i can't wait to pick them up! the suspense is killin me haha

pics pics! then tell me how they fit

 

thoes are the same exact rims i have !!
i just cracked 2 be gentle with em
