Test fitted the Gram Lights 57S on super hot car :D

[Heartwork]

first of all, these are my rims that and iEATrice was so kind enough to let me test fit them on his car, since i dont have all my 5 lug rotors here yet :mad:...

second, keep in mind that we didnt lower iEATRice's car down because he rides on 18's and these rims are 17x8.5/17x9.5 et22 all around....fronts arent concaved really, but im still happy with the fitment....pretty flush as it sits kinda high, but will sit better on my car ;) tires are 215-40-17, 235-40-17, with miles of front Z32 caliper clearance, but barely any room between teh tire and front coilovers, about a 8-10 inches or more between rear tire and rear coilover....
thanks Jay for lending the car :D

[sykikchimp]

those wheels are the hotness!

[Dousan_PG]

jay your the sweetest :kiss:

hahaha
damn heartwork thats PIMP!! i know its jay's car (i want to see YOURS) but still...damn damn

looks great!!!!!!! :)

i think you should sell the fronts and get another 9.5 +22!!!!

[Heartwork]

i want to get 17x9.5 et22 235-40-17 for fronts, but i doubt they will fit....
the 17x8.5 et22 up front with 215-40-17 barely have a couple millimeters of clearance between inner rim/tire and the coilovers (i have Cusco's also)......I would have to buy over fenders for the fronts, and possible a 5-10mm spacer

[Dousan_PG]

trust me, they'll fit a-ok
worry about brake clearance, nto coilover clearance!
yeah the fenders is the money
vertex makes 15mm (i think its actually +12 though..i forget) wide front fenders (speedalliance.com rocks)

[SlideStar]

nice rims! is your car the same style/colour??
lets see a pic of them on your car next :)

[CleanS14]

I must say I really like those wheels... I didn't want to take them off :D But I know where you're keeping them Heartwork LOL! Don't be suprised if you see a car that looks like mine rolling around the Bay Area with wheels that look like yours :p

I actually prefer the 17" fitment now that I've tried these on my car. I'd like to get some 17x9.5's all around... but it would require some new fenders right? Dousan???

[Dousan_PG]

haha
it will fit
9" easy up on s14, 9.5..right offset some camberroll da fenders, stretched tires. its extremely possible. just depends 'how much' you want it.
damn i can put 9" +15 on the FRONT of a s13 (with stretched tires and -2.75 degrees camber) and it fits 'great'. some might not the look of how it is but i think its hot

just depends what you want
jay you get my message on saturday? sorry nothing worked out up in norcal..oh well. next time!

oh yeh im all for wide fenders!
jspec.com

WOOOT!
wide fenders on jay's car..oh snap i gotta start carrying tissues around then
hahahahahahaha

[DRFT]

Nice rims. did those rims come out here yet or did you have to special order them?

[CleanS14]

They are available... but this is the only set I've seen so far???

[CleanS14]

I knew they would fit... but I think it might make sense to finish the rest of the car first... I mean engine wise since I'm still stock haha. I just can't make up my mind though... since my KA only has 65K on it... I really can't justify swapping for an SR yet. I'm really thinking Greddy turbo... but 6psi is weak... and then I'll have to build my bottom end... blah blah...

But yeah I got your message Aaron... it's cool... I ended up taking my GF down to Santa Cruz for some dinner and drove the 9 all the way home :D Only got stuck behind one slow car!!!

[nokeone]

wow!!..really sweet looking wheels...:D

the 57S has been available for a couple months now in the U.S., but certainly not in those sizes as i was told by Mackin....usually something that wide and relatively low offset would be special order...

i had to wait 3.5 months:cry:
the part that gets me is, the wheels were made and passed inspection 2 weeks after i placed the order! damn boat and customs :mad:

[tsunami0ne]

Heartwork you are a piece of crap Mr. I'm Gonna Sell Off My Gram Lights When I Get Them For Some SSR Professors Or Work Meister S1s.

One more stupid idea like that and you will be officially put on the DonFactory blacklist.:(

[CleanS14]

Hahaha DonFactory #1 eh... Garage Junkyard in effect!!! :p

[Heartwork]

tsunami0ne and iEATrice, pleeeeaaassee... :cool:J-Stunned:cool: is mighty cooler

[Bbandit]

OMG man
those wheels look supaPHIMP!!!
i know your s14 is black too so i guess yours will look the same except for the front end
but yea.. post a picture of these wheels on your car next time

Off topic:
Any place out there that sells Stern rims?

[f2a4s0t]

Your car is hot:eek:. I think I am in love. I will trade you straight acrost for a boro '90 that barely runs. I won't be mad if you say no but only because your car is so sexy. :wackit:

[Fastback180]

[IchigoMae]

SEEXXYY!!

[Champster]

This sucks...Gramlights 57S in the 8.5...the offset of 22+ has been discontinued.

how do you know?

[focused]

Beautiful. Think that sizing would work with a spring/AGX setup?

[xkimcheekidx]

very very very nice. i think im gonan have to pick me up a set

[Champster]

how do you know?

I IM'd Mike at www.gramlights.com. He informed me that these offsets would be discontinued in the 8.5 inches.

Would 9.5 fronts with +22 be too bad?

[the240sxer95]

just look at the picture.. those wheels that are in the pix on jays car is 9.5 +22 if i am not mistaken

[Champster]

"17x8.5/17x9.5 et22 all around...."

The rears are 9.5 only. I was told I may get some rubbing action with the 9.5's on the front. I don't know how true that is though.

Well damn....I planned on getting that size in the future....THERE MUST BE A WAY.

Anyways....I've seen 9.5 +22 on Jay's car in the bronze finish. I've only seen two pics....and I believe he had to mess with the camber upfront inorder for them to fit.

Jay sold them to my friend.
he has 17x9.5 +22 all around, rolled fenders, something like -5 degrees camber up front, -3 in rear or so....

he's also running HKS HIper D's or whatever and the inner lip RUBS on the coils
