White Eneki RPF1 (2)18x9.5 +15 (2)18x10.5 +15

===========
found in a fs thread... soo soo sooo sick!!!

the 10.5 is a little much. i'd love to pull it off but that is way too much poke for me

i wanna run 11" wide.. but new.england roads suck!!!!

my next set will be 10's at least in the rear and no thinner than a 9.5 up front

Nothing new with the suspension/wheels, but I recently installed CNT Catless TBE, PTP CDFP Internals and a TIP. Then topped it all off with a badass street tune by SSP in Houston. I went for a drive today with my friend Branko and his Evo X. Here's some shots I took...

The rest are here

so, who won?

We didn't race, but he'd win. AWD + 26psi + double clutch + fully bolted + tune = Winner.
We drove pretty damn fast and he said he was like 80-90% throttle keeping up with me, so it would be pretty close, but definitely not off a line. I'll race him next time. Today was more like a, "Let's go drive fast and go WEEEEEEEEEE" kinda day

God damn dude i fuckin love your set up. car is so sexy.

x999999999999999999999 props.

TurboXS! fucka is huge!

@Roszko

What is your wheel width/offset if you don't mind me asking. Also, do you know what your camber specifications are?

Thanks,

Josh

Rota Grids 18x9.5 +38, 225/40/18
I don't know my camber specs, no arms/links or anything. I'll check my next alignment

Lolz. That's an AZN butt sticking out the window

Not my car, it's a local's from Katy

Nice pic, lol

Very very cool SM3- how do you roll around town in that? dude- you'd bottom out over a cigarette butt!

Idk, ask sumthaiguy, it's his. He's building an s13 so he might daily that, idk

^^^ how do you like the CNT TBE? Any drone? How's noice level compared to stock? It looks fucking mean.

No drone, I love it. Sounds exactly what I was looking for. I have a video on youtube...

wow youre like the first person to post a legit exhaust video. sounds mean! sound like mine with stock dp, race pipe, and first two resonators removed.

For the guys with 8.5 and 9.5 wide 18s how much room is there inside the arch?

Say running about et40? I dont want to poke much just want to sit flush. Am tempted by the 9.5" wide rims as they look concave and badass. But thinking 8.5 will be easier for me to pull off.

Pretty sure 9.5 +40 won't fit because the inside of the rim would hit the strut. Don't quote me on that, but from what I understand, it'd hit...

But idk how much room is inside the arch, there's room enough to drive, we can all roll haha. It's hard to gauge. Get the appropriate suspension/links/arms/plates/tire sizes and you can pretty much fit anything in there. I'm sure the info you're looking for is somewhere on this forum, people have asked similar questions a few times.

for 9.5 (with bc coilovers) i have to run at most 35et because the front will rub the shock housing if more. I have 38 and run a 3mm spacer up front. not sure about clearance in the rear. what do you mean inside the arch? you mean the tire rubbing on the top of the wheel well? i know the fronts people have to hammer down a metal piece under the plastic fender. i like the look of the exoX wheels spaced out to sit flush. 8.5 wide i believe.

Will 17x8.25 et35 on 235/45/17s fit with stock suspension/soon to be eibach pro kit and SenSen shocks?

I have been doing a lot of measurements to see if I can stuff a 8.5" wheel under there. The issue is that the strut locking ring on most mainstream coilovers (including mine) interferes with inside sidewall clearance. The lower you go, the closer the sidewall/lip is to the locking ring. I am dropped an inch and will barely clear on a 235/40/18 tire @ +45. And I'll have to massage the rear fender pretty good too.

Personally I'd stay away from a 9.5" width unless you're OK with running a narrow tire outside the manufacturer's recommendations (refer to post #705).


EDIT: Obviously I'm more of a practical guy but can appreciate many of the setups in here. Thanks for the thread.

are those 19's??!??
*****

o side note.. picked up some new wheels..
3pc 19" .... mmmm

18x9.5

i want 19 3pc wheels :/

WTF is this shit?

GTFO

can mods rename this section to "low and slow" section?

faster than your ass. who says just cause we lower out car and have camber we can't go fast or race? again gtfo

a rock in the road

a rock that would affect my driving would also affect yours. again gtfo.

lol I'm at stock height which is like a monster truck and also fail

Lol

I'll take that. These cars are slow.

Just for you
