Gollum Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Yes, post pictures! And if you're in the bay area, that means you have to come to my next yearly BBQ this summer so some people can see it in person to appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5.Z Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) looks like i have to wait longer to finish my flare. I ran out of welding rod and the welding shop that has the little tiny rods for my welder is closed on the weekend. believe it or not but even with this tire my car still burns out on first gear and a little bit on second on a hard launch and when the boost kicks in.(but hopefully when the ground is hotter it will hold) AND THIS IS ON 4PSI LOL and when/where in the summer? Im definitely down to see the Zs in the bay. and sorry for the bad quality friend have my camera and this was taken with my outdated phone lol.

cockerstar Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Any shots from the side on these? Loving the wide tires in the back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indri Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Would there be any problem with running the 17x9/9.5 -13/-19 offset with Tociko illuminas and eibach lowering springs? -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollum Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 That package uses the same spring perches, so no, there shouldn't be a problem at all. If you were going with a totally different strut tube from another car that had a larger diameter spring and perch THEN you'd have to be worried about fitment issues.

Indri Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Well, I ordered everything (struts, springs, wheels, tires, and fender flares). I won't have a chance to put them on until late february, but I'll post pictures once everything is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitchinZ Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Will the 17x9.5 -19 rub anywhere in the front on a lowered 240 with standard ZG flares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Finally got the cash aside for this, just shot Kim an email. Very excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 I would be interested in some pictures as well! I would of loved to get more width, but the front was really the limiting factor. Had to compromise as the tires started hitting the front frame rail and the TC rod at full lock. When talking about my MM coilovers, there is a lot of space in the rear IIRC... maybe an inch or an inch and a quarter to be gained. The front maybe 3/4"? This is all off memory. If people were willing to limit their steering angle (how significantly I am unsure), I don't think a 17x9.5" front and 17x10" rear would be out of the question while keeping the same front space. When I first chose the sizes and such, this just didn't seem to be where the majority of people were at. These wheels will fit with the stock suspension - no coilovers necessary. The suspension components (perch, spring, etc) themselves are not the limiting factor. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
