jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

offset?

thinhthan

i dont even know lol how do i check

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

inside the wheel?

i have 225/40/18 in the rear

if you want meat.. 235/40/18

i had 235/40/18 on my 18x8.5

thinhthan

and they fitted with no prob?

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

^ yes..

they're still within specs..

225/40/18 on a 8.5 is like.. very minor stretch..

depending on what tire brand you use.. the stretch might look like more compare to something else but will be still in spec.

215/40/18 is still in spec also..

III

with your drop i'd go 225-40-18 and make it a normal fitment.... but yeah whas the offset>?

thinhthan

i dotn even know what the offset is. but im riding on tiens s tech and tokico illuminas.

I've got 235/40R18 on mine. No rub whatsoever. I have already cut the tabs in the rear though.

thinhthan

yea after the meet today i got like half a nail clipper in my tire. i dotn know how that happen but when i got out my car i can hear the tire hissing out air. so now im deciding if i should put tires on the new rims or the type S.

thinhthan

ok so i got my rims on today i putted 225/40/18. i like how it looks but the front the rim is to wide and i def got to roll the rear fenders. ill be posting pics tomorrow after i wash my car

Here is a pix of my Falken Torque 5 in Sliver look. (sorry only pix i got of my TL an there one in SSM pic thread Post #2) You going to have to roll your fender an cut your tap. Only different is I'm rolling with 19". Also be very careful when taking off the center cap. Them dam center cap love to get stuck an went you pop them off the ring tap broken off an you lose tight fit hold. I had to get them all replace before when tire guy broken off an I didn't found out only 2 day after it just fell out. Now i always take them off myself at any tire shop before they replace my tire.

They don't look too bad. I considered getting those but decided not to since i don't want to spend more money on the car...lol

twistedwedge

so wheres the pics??

thinhthan

my front looks higher than the back kinda







look at how much my front wheels stick out




ok there you go

AznWay

iTrader: (8)

Where your center cap? Do you need some ? ( I know where you can get some NEW )
Look nice just like mine

thinhthan

which center caps. i have some blank black ones but i was gonna see if the 4 lug H will fit sinces my 5 lug H doesnt

AznWay

iTrader: (8)

Ok. I know old H & A fit but it cost more then Falken center cap. My Falken cap are 2 3/8" but not sure about 18".They should be the same. Alot new Factory cap are 2 3/4".





P.s. you need edit your Signature now

thinhthan

so you have the falken center caps? yea my sig is old

twistedwedge

Looks good man!

VoLLy

iTrader: (8)

looks great! but you need to lower it some more.

AznWay

iTrader: (8)

Sorry no.
You can get them at Discounttiredirect@com or Tire@com. They can found you the center cap B/c they are main Falken Vendor an what I heard they only main left. They cost about $15 each.

thinhthan

i want to but im on springs im saving up for some coil overs or something

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

looks like you have more wheelgap then before...

i think they will look great once your dropped on top of the tire.

AznWay

iTrader: (8)

I know the feeling. I also thinking of redoing my suspension too. For some reason Falken Wheel with H&R spring still look high even on my car. I think it's the offset.
