ShaggyZ Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 are those the Axis wheels? damn, i love that old school design but only if axis made it in a zero offset or lower. i believe they're immitations of hayashi's? but anyways, looks good. Hmmm... you even quoted him. I wanted to wait till i got my tires mounted and suspension put on before i posted pics but after a month of starring at them, i had to post. 17x8 +15 and 17x9 +20 Axis Banzai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimal310 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 are those the Axis wheels? damn, i love that old school design but only if axis made it in a zero offset or lower. i believe they're immitations of hayashi's? but anyways, looks good. you got it!! they are the imitation Hayashi wheels. i wish they had a negative offset also but I'm playing with some meaty spacers to help fill up every inch of the ZG's and more. Even thinking of going with the stretched tire look to really get the oldshool look even though everyone hates it and thinks it's un-safe. A stretch like this would be good - look bad ass though anyone know what size tires i would have to use to get a stretch like that on a 9 and 8 inch tire?

It will look great! and as long as you dont try and put a 215 on a 10" wheel or anything crazy like that you will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S30 SPL Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 To stretch a tire like that on a 8" wheel, you will need something in the neighborhood of 195 to 205 if in 15" sizes. For 9" width, it is something around 205 to 225 or so if 15" diameter. If you go with larger diameters like 17", 8" width will almost have that stretch with 215/45R17. 9" width would be about a 235/40R17 or maybe a 225/45R17. The actual tire determines how the profile of the stretch is. A super stiff tire like Toyo R1R will not stretch round, but something softer like the T1R will. Having a super low offset like -25 is just as bad for your bearings as using a +10 wheel with a 35mm spacer, the net effect is the same. If you want to do it and not have so many negative effects, you need a super wide wheel that keeps the center line of the wheel closer to the stock location. For example, a 7" wide wheel with a -20 offset is worse than having a 9" wide wheel at +5 or so. The "flushness" would be about the same, but you would have more wheel inside to support the load. This is assuming you have room inboard... the figures were just for example purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zdan Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I plan on switching to a 205/50/16 on the front for a bit of stretch and a bit of a staggered look.. will post pics when its done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piston Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 wouldnt a stretch tire also clear your fenders better? one would assume! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roye@hrewheels.com Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 These came out of the machine shop today, 17x8 ET4 and 17x8.5 ET6. I'm going to throw some rim parts on them tonight and test fit them, hopefully they fit the way I want them too. I'm thinking Flat Black Rim Parts with Brushed centers.

aarang Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hey Daniel13BRX7, are those the 17x8.5 +4 Rotas? Did you use spacers for the front? I tried that size on my ZX and they would hit the strut. I didn't want to use spacers so I got the 17x7.5 +4 for the front on my car and the 8.5's for the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
