:: Widest shoes ::

[Monstar]

sorry guys, ended up moving to Phoenix!!! Just got back to Missouri to finish up with work, then back to AZ in Aug. I will get some updates when I get back to my new house. Ended up buying a wrx wagon and dumping some money into it...gotta wait to get the new wheels on the speed6. When I get some more info, I will post back. I did get ahold of some 18x9 +30 wheels, and they didn't look very flush, more of that "hella flush but not really, kinda stick out" Look. Didn't like em. Keep you posted.

nice pretty cool setup now slam that thing!!! well not really but just get rid of some of that gap haha

u know what .. i was looking @ my car today...

u can deff stick a 18x10 in the back of the speed6... prob a 55mm offset...
--
Email me .. again.. will send u article on WIDEST wheels calculations...
-
=================
test fitted the staggered wheels on my speed6 again today.. post drop...


God i love these next 2pics.... that rear wheel looks soo sick!


-

u can see here that its rubbing.. on just the test fit... deff needs a roll.n.pull


245.35.18 : 18x9 in rear : 3" lip

****
i kno i kno.. my rear tire was on the wrong for tire rotation.. but like i said.. it was ONLY a test fit.. to get an idea of rubbing, tire size, & if it needed a roll.n.pull
** the front deff needs a larger tire for sure... that 215.35.18 is jsut too too small.. looked great on the 3.. looks like a roller skate wheel onthe 6...heh ****

if ur going 9" wide.. u should stick w/ a 45 or higher offset...
my 18x9 45mm offset.. is nearly flush.. but a 50mm offset would prob have been perfect...

trust me.. man.. i look @ wheels n study the specs .. like its porn.. heh .. its kinda sad.. heh

[sumthaiguy]

Front: 18x8.5 +35 (before spacer to clear hub. probably will end up at 28 offset)
Rear: 18x9.5 +35 effectively

i dont have the fronts on because i havent got the tires for them yet. had a blow out and needed tires to run on so i just went ahead and mounted what i did have instead of waiting for all 4. getting front tires pretty soon. so dont hate on that lol.


Wheels shown in pics are the 18x9.5 +35 on the rear
Federal 595ss 215/40/18's

[Buildabong]

[sumthaiguy]

LOL YEEESSSS I DID!!!! hahaha is your motor done yet? i wanna ride in the BEAST.

[corbs]

yall need to sell ur cars and buy dubs. ur ruining the look of a speed. now groan that

[sumthaiguy]

lol you need to get with the times. the "vdub" fitment is and has been contagious. a lot of people are doing the wheel fitment thing with their cars that arent vdubs. a lot subarus, vip cars, nissans, drifters, mazdas etc... and its spreading.

im just a fan of wheel fitment.

[dbrier]

I'm a fan of wide tires, not wheels.
I run 245/40/18 Hankook V12 tires on RX8 wheels(18X8 +50) in the summer and
245/45/17 Bridgestone RE960AS tires on modded STi wheels (17X8 +53) wheels in the winter.

You don't scrub at all with the 245/40/18 tires on the RX8 wheels?

[DaAznKnight]

Hey guys,

I'm looking for new wheels for use on the track. Had a couple of old Enkei RPF1s on the RX-8 that don't fit the MS6, so I'll prolly sell those and get RPF1s again.

I want the widest god damned tires you can fit on the MS6. So that means the widest wheels too.

What are the specs of the widest wheel possible on the MS6?

[Monstar]

Lots of WIN....Needs a little more -Camber. No, not my car, Im still on the same 18x8.5s...

[RhoadBlock]

^ Oh yes! What are the specs on those wheels now?

[dbrier]

Nope.
All I've done is roll the rear fenders. I've autocrossed it with that setup with no problem.

[madvillain]

i meant the fenders.. did you yank them off, pull them out, and repaint them? are you going to be making any fender flares or anything?

[tigermack]

Nah, not gonna make any fender flares... I just pulled the stock ones. I bought spare so I don't mess up the stock ones... =D

Yeah good luck. Also, buy a new set of fenders too.

[RacingToaster]

Damn I think I asked this before but would a 245/35/19 Fit +45-50 on the MS6? I still have my rims from my accord in storage. i would need to buy new tires tho

[yoichi]

I have 245/35/19 +45 on my car. You need a roll but it will fit

[06spped6]

my buddy has 18x10s on his 300zx i tried them on but they rubbed pretty bad in the back. his are 45 offset not sure if thats a good offset for the speed6.
