How is it unsafe?

The S14 ball joint is identical, it's just 1/16" longer and doesn't have enough threads to allow the nut to tighten it onto the s13 knuckle. I simply threw on a 1/8" thick washer under the nut. Being a taper fit, that thing isn't going anywhere.

Lips=$600
Wheels=$600

$1200 hotness

lol that would be rediculously long and complicated.

You can do it with any real multipiece wheel. You must figure out if you can take it apart first, some wheels are welded together, some just have some sealnt on them.

Then comes lots of measuring.

Sweeet. Now all you need to do to swap tires.. is to take apart the wheel, and reassemble them with your new tires on.

Yeah I emailed these guys last year about my wheels, and they said they couldnt help me because my wheels have a "soft type edge" or something. Sucks.

(edit) here is the actual reply from them:
Hello Nate,
We do make replacement parts for some manufacturers but currently we do not supply the parts like you need. Your wheels have the "soft" lip edge and we do not produce that. Sorry.

Daryle
Kodiak Motorsports Inc.

So I guess it isn't ALL multipiece wheels. For reference, my wheels are 15in Volk Mesh. And I have no idea what a "soft" lip edge is, btw.

Why does everyone say that?

Not to take you seriously, but we're talking over 2.5 hours labor per wheel. I did take off the old tires that way though.

Soft edge lips? Not too sure what that means, did you ask for an identical copy just bigger? Should have asked what exactly that meant.

Soft lip is kind of the same thing as reverse drop center, meaning the outer lip is not stepped. You can get them replaced, you just have to look somewhere other than Kodiak since apparently they only make stepped lip halves.

i thought the soft lip is the one that's kinda wavy...the other style is w/ a sharp edge

so the lips on these wheels are "soft"

Last night I had a dream about getting three peice wheels, and in the dream I was recalling this thread. This is the first thread that has ever been in my dreams. I figure I'd share. That means if you have never typed anything, I would have never had the dream. I would have had a different dream, which could be a good or bad thing. The rim dream was OK, as far as fun in the dream. I rated it a 5/10. I figured I would share, since if you ask me, making people dream something is an accomplishment.

You wouldn't be able to make a wheel that doesn't fit (too high offset) fit this way would you? All this does is extend how far out the wheel is in relation to the fender edge correct? This wouldn't affect backspacing in the least right?

BTW, both the fronts and the rears now have +12.6 offset. The backspacing on the wheels never changed all he did was extend the outer lip 2" on each wheel. Since each wheel was modified identically, they would all still have identical offsets just like before.

You can buy inner and outer lips meaning you can virtually make anything, BUT that ends up being really expensive.

The measurments can not be determined that simple, face design plays a big role in it. Yes backspacing wont change but offset isnt backspacing. Th wheels were not modified identically. IIRC the fronts got 3.5" Lips and the rears have 4" lips. The offsets I listed are guesses from measuring and closer to what they really are.
