Feedback on these wheels?

[bobmeindertsma]

what do you guys think of these rims on a black 240
and if anyone has experience on 17" w/ 45mm offset where
would the wheel sit around.

[Dousan_PG]

unless its 11" i wouldnt get a +45 offset
think about coilover clearance and such..BLAAAH

[bobmeindertsma]

what do you figure low 30's in 17" X 7.5"
would do the flush trick ?

[Drift Style S14]

i am thinking about getting those same rims from enkei, don't know much about there quality, but those are some nice rims.

[Dousan_PG]

not even close to flush
7.5..

mm 7" +10 is quite flush (with some camber)
8" +15 is quite flush (with some camber)

so do the math....

[bobmeindertsma]

aight thanks again dousan
back to shopping.

yea Drift Style S14 im loving that style rims

Unveiled this year, APC brings you its new line of road wheels to begin your restyling from the ground up. With many designs to choose from, IconTM wheels modify your vehicles stance whether you are striving for show or for go. Shot callers demand IconTM wheels.

Anyone see APC there yet?

APC. All you need is a type "R" to spell "CRAP".

my wheels are 16x7.5 and im getting +32, itll sit well but wont rub, and i wont need some crazy camber

[old_s13]

I think wheels who's style are directly copied from brand-name manufacters are junk. This also means the manufacturer producing them has no concern for quality, reputation, or innovation -- they are just two-bit hack-rileys. Its no wonder these rims are made by APC..

These rims sucks, IMO.

8" +15 is not flush unless you run like 3-4 degrees of camber (i know you said camber, but most people don't think THAT much camber). With 2 degrees of negative camber I would say +22-+25 is flush on an 8" wheel. with the fenders rolled.

[Dousan_PG]

+25 would be too high, imho. i've seen R32 GTR w/ about -2 degrees of camber and it was still pretty sunk.

i'dgo w/ +20 on a 8" at least. tire size minimal, nothing huge just keep it firm and fit the wheel well, doesnt need to be stretched, but also not soggy on the sidewalls.


:p yes camber to me is not camber to most..i like crazy flush, like this:

we all have different opinions of flush of course..

thanks for the clarification!

[sykikchimp]

I'll take some close pics of my +35's tonight and post them for reference. they are a bit sunken..

What would be nice, is if someone could measure the distance from the front side of the stock wheel to the edge of the fender. Then we could actually determine where the rim edge will be.

[Dousan_PG]

look at front wheels

here's +38 with a 20mm spacer
that's +18

camber: -2.5 degrees

to me, that's BARELY flush. tire is 215/45/17 on a 17x8+38

[sykikchimp]

yeah.. that looks pretty good. I think I need about a 5mm, Maybe 10mm so I can get some 225's on the front of my wheels.

I was thinking 17x9 +15 earlier.. disregard what I was saying. :bash:

absolutely NOT
as long as they are installed, and used safely and properly you will have no problems

i DONT KNOW about 4 to 5 lug converter type spacers, so dont ask me about that junk. do the real conversion
