Achievement unlocked: not crappy rims on all 4 corners

Tight fitment, just the way I like it;

Rear

WP_002040_zpse8cddfe6.jpg

Front

WP_002046_zps17a3dcec.jpg

 

 

The rears are 17x10 +18 with a 1.5in spacer (effectively -20). the fronts are 17x9 +22 with a 1.75in spacer and a 7mm slip on spacer (effectively -20) And I could probably do away with the extra 7 mm spacer.

 

Tires are Hankook RS-3's, 235/45/17 in the front and 255/40/17 in the rear.

 

Also before anyone asks the spacers "convert" me to 5 lug. and I do have room to spare. about an inch more of rim in the rear, and at least half an inch in the front.

I must see these wheels in person.

 

Luckily I only live about an hour away from T.O.

 

Are you going to have the car ready enough for ZFest in August?

15 x 10 Spinwerkes Series 82 Wheels on all four corners (14.9 pounds each).

5.5 inch backspace on all four wheels.  I use a 1/4" spacer on the front to get the tire to clear the coilover, and no spacer on the rear (still have 1/2" clearance on the inside).

Subtle Z flares to clear tires on outside. 

Hoosier 275/35/15 on all four corners

Was wondering if you were able to find any street tires for these rims? I have been having a hard time staying in the 15" category with custom offset when it comes to tires. I've only been able to find Drag or Hoosier tires for these sized rims. I love the look, but I'll be mostly driving on the coast 30 miles this way, and 30 miles back. Don't want to spend tons of $$$ on tires if I don't need to. :)

The only tires that fit these wheels and my car are race tires (Hoosier A6/R6 275/35/15 or similarly sized Hoosier or Avon slicks).  Currently I only use the car for autocross so it is not a problem for me at the moment.

 

However, I plan to start using the car for track days and I don't want to be stuck using Hoosiers for that (gets expensive fast).  I hope to find some 17 x 10 CCW or 18 x 10 CCW wheels so that I can use some of the readily available 285/30/18 or 295/35/17 tires that seem to abound.  Unfortunate that would require me to raise the car a couple of inches.  Currently, the center of the front crossmember is 2.75" off the ground.

I tend to not be a fan of knock offs, but these look pretty nice.

Would like to see them on a Z , even though 17 seems pretty large imo

I think those would look nice. Wish they were staggered tho :( 9" up front? . . . little wide for my taste

That's only just over 225 width, maybe 235 tire.

 

I run 225 width tires all around on my car currently, and would prefer a wider tire, personally. 

 

I think if you look back through this thread you'll find a lot of people are running 225 and 235 width front tires.

I would think wider rear would be good, but 225 front is about as wide as I would go. I wouldn't want anything rubbing
