Nice Rims.
Cut your bump stops when you install the eibachs.

Slippercream · November 8th, 2007, 10:36 PM

Interesting

skewed stars. Good eye!

Looks like you're gonna have to roll that fender in too.

MannyGT · November 8th, 2007, 10:50 PM

Hey u made it here, Welcome to the Club Man

kxwhite · November 8th, 2007, 11:58 PM

what the specs on your rims and tires?

in the one pic it almost looked like you are running too narrow of a tire.

pretty cool looking rims though!

XFactor · November 9th, 2007, 07:56 AM

Yeah you are right kx... this one makes it look like the tires are a bit narrow for the wheel. Might just be deceptive camera work though...

What are the specs though on the tires and rims?

Slippercream · November 9th, 2007, 08:00 AM

well he's gonna have to keep that profile if he wants to keep the wheel. With a drop and possibly even after a fender roll he's still gonna smack bottom.

That, unless he's planning on any body work on the rear qtr panels.

XFactor · November 9th, 2007, 08:08 AM

He can get a wider wheel though, couldn't he? I dunno if it's that big of a deal, though.

Slippercream · November 9th, 2007, 08:24 AM

Well, it's not a matter of wheel width as it is fitment with the rest of the car. You can have as wide a wheel as you want, but if dropped, a wider rear wheel will slam against the outside fender rib. As it is his wheel is wide enough to take on about 20mm (approx 1") more of tire width.

Thanks for the heads up. Not sure where the bump stops are. Your help is welcome.

Slippercream · November 9th, 2007, 09:55 AM

polypropylene foam pieces on the top of the shock/strut shaft that prevents the shock/strut housing from hitting the top of the shock/strut assembly. It's a bump stop that's good in the event that you hit a nasty bump or puddle.

MIA4gEclipse · November 9th, 2007, 10:09 AM

how much would body work be on the fenders ? anyone has any clue ? i know im going to have to get some done once my rims are finally on.

20x9 245/35/20
20x10.5 275/30/20

is whats going on my car

Slippercream · November 9th, 2007, 08:20 PM

Looks damn good-- what are you doing with your stock 17"s?

MIA4gEclipse · November 10th, 2007, 11:01 PM

hmm offset on the front is +35 i believe and on the back i dont know ill have to check

Slippercream · November 11th, 2007, 01:20 AM

Ok guys, before you even consider buying wheels and thinking they'll fit in your car, consider the fact that you have fenders to clear, and front wheels that turn.

Sorry, I still haven't fully gotten over my hangover so I'll make this short and direct to the gritty details.

For the following wheel widths (in inches), you need the following tire widths (in mm). lower value tire width would be the lowest I'd go.

8.0" : 235-245mm
8.5" :245-255mm
9.0" :255-265mm
9.5" : 265-275mm
10.0 : 275-285mm
10.5 : 285-295mm

These recommendations don't include considerations for clearance. For that, go here, get a mm/in ruler, and do your own measurements.

Nice

Clean and tasteful

So when're you gonna paint those calipers?

MannyGT · November 19th, 2007, 09:51 PM

WElcome to the "start having problem with dealers" team. Now that you started to mes up wi the suspension I wish you good luck with Tom at Fountain. Let me know how it goes when you go for service from now on.

It look much better, good job. ANd by the way, I saw the guys comment about your tires been smaller than your rims and u mentioned it was the camera. Well in my opinion Nah! man, your back tires are smallers than the rim itself, the front ones look good. So just becareful.

XyX · November 19th, 2007, 10:45 PM

whats with the DONK wheels?..their kinda big..

Kilzod · November 19th, 2007, 10:53 PM

He put like 10 inchers on the back with a 9 inch tire.. Just be careful with that man.. That can be very dangerous.

I like the wheels, but the rear ones look way too funky, sorry.

Slippercream · November 19th, 2007, 11:31 PM

Well, he does have a nice car

Just that with the rear tire profile being like that... can you say "curb rash"?

Prescribed tire width for a 10" would be typically 285-295mm. And that's factual.

Kilzod · November 19th, 2007, 11:34 PM

For sure he has a nice car, just for me every time I see a picture of his ride my eyes are drawn like magnets to those rear tires lol.

NotUrAvg4G · November 20th, 2007, 07:51 AM
