I cant believe that my 19's dont clear over the caliper! I am screwed. Where can I pick up wheel spacers pronto... please help. i only need about 2 mm more clearance.

 

Call up local parts store and ask for a universal 5 lug spacer. They are usually like $20. It's not a permanent solution but it will work for now. They usually are about 7mm or so.

 

The bad part is, I have axis se7en mods (35mm) offset. They already kinda stick out..... I dont know what else to do besides sell these wheels and get new ones.

 

thats a damn shame, those wheels are awesome! Theres no way you could find spacers to permanently put on the car?

 

Have you already rolled the fender?

 

yes.. the problem is, is that the wheels sticks out waaaay to mych now. it almost looks like hiose RICE MExican cars that ride low and the wheel sticks out past the wheel well.
I think im selling them..... Time for new wheels... this sux

 

pics?

 

yeah... ill post it in the black market in a day or so. I'm too busy to do it now. Just keep your eyes open in the BLK MKT.

 

your only option is to sell, what size tires are you on? If you run less wide tires, it may help a bit, but I'm not sure if you want the "stretched' look or how many mm's the tires stick outside of the wheel well.

 

I've got some custom spacers that I think are 2mm or 3mm thick if you're interested. I had them made in hopes of going less than 5mm with my stock 17's.

They fit tight on the hub to minimize any movement which would add any vibration. Made with Aluminum plate and Black anodized to minimize corrosion.

 

Thanks for the offer but I dont think it would have enough clearance. I just got some 5mm spacers to see what would happen and its barely clearing the caliper. On top of that, the wheel sticks out Waaaay to much.. Im screwed so now I have to sell, I just dont know what wheels to get now.... I kida like the Racing hart Rs 451 but the wheels are to big. Any suggustions on wheels that will fit my setup without spacers.... preferably ones that look like the Rs 451.... Thanks guys, any suggestions woulf be awsome.

 

well, it's either new wheels of sell me the bbk for a HUGE loss.

 

buy my SSRs ;]

 

I like these.. in graphite or titanium




or these




the list goes on, this one can be made in any finish/color

 

I just ordered these I really like them. they come in black (obviously), gunmetal, bronze, and hyperblack

I went with black
just so you're not confused by the pic they do make a 5 bolt pattern for these. They're the R1 racing GTR-4

 

just sell the wheels. Time for a new look, besides, the mods have been out for awhile and alot of ppl have them.

 

wow. thanks for all the replies. I really like the silver second wheel that ThinJim posted, what is it Racing hart C4?

 

i'll sell you my volk III's. i'll paint the center another color if you'de like.

 

haha thats funny. I only installed one and didnt drive an inch with it.

 

it was worth a try. i want a bbk, but do not want to spend that much on a car that only serves me as a commuter.

 

[QUOTE=o1s]it was worth a try. i want a bbk, but do not want to spend that much on a car that only serves me as a commuter.[/QUOT

makes sense. I dont drive this car much at all so... its a little diffrent.

 

why didnt u research this before you purchased?

 

it says that it would fit a wheel of at least 17", the fact that I have 19" wheels was a confort to me knowing it would defenitly fit; however, they did not disclaim that the wheels had to be a certain shape as well.

 

I looked up the RH C4 and the lip isnt as big as the one in the picture. is it a diffrent wheel?
anyone know a wheel that looks like the C4's but have a huge lip?

Thanks guys

 

u are not going to be able to have a big lip and have a bbk on the CL.

 

what are the size options that will fit correctly? will the normal C4's fit ok? do you know of another wheel that looks similar to the C4 that would fit?

Thanks a lot

 

I'll sell you my C2's if they clear your BBK

 

are they 19's? can you post some pics?

 

I take that back i did a search and found some pics. to bad they are not 19's otherwise I would be interested....

 

I don't know if this would help but I used 3mm spacers and changed my studs to ARP Honda studs for safety reasons. Had to shave them down a little but I'm happy. Also I have 17in wheels with a 48 offset.

 

The only problem is that 3mm would not be enough. the wheel would still hit the caliper. Thanks for tryin though.

 

its not just in the size of your wheels. i have 19x8 +50 wheels...they fit perfect on the car. i could tuck rim if i wanted to. its all in the design of the face or spokes of the rim. get the measurement clearance chart from rotora and email that to prospective wheel companies. they can tell you if the wheels will clear from the measurements rotora will give you.

 

The Axis seven mods are the worst because the spokes curve in so much to give you the lip that they cause problems with BBKs.

 

Yeah your right. Im going to have to see what wheels fit the new set up. wish me luck..

 

new wheels dude, the axis are nice, but everyone has them

 

suggestion

 

how much do you plan on spending?used jdm wheels this place has alot of badass wheels for very reasonable prices.

 

^^ too bad most of those wheels seem to be for RWD cars
