Test Fitted Wheels(not 56k safe)

[95Blue240sx]

well SilviaDriver and I were bored today so this is what happened. 17x9 +15, and 17x9.5 +22.

No issues here.






looks like SilviaDriver is going to have to run mad negative camber y0

this was a good oppertunity for me to learn about offset =P

[MakotoS13]

just get wide fenders... yo

[davidae86]

ohh.... you could have jacked it up more inside instead of the standard scissor jack points....ouch

[BuudWeizErr]

That's nothing. couple degrees of camber, rolled and pulled fenders and some stretched tire and it will look perfect. you don't need wide fenders.

[FRpilot]

whoa. those are sunk in a little.. nice!!

[DoriftoSlut]

You guys have the car up on jacks. With it like this, the wheels will setfar outside cause they are not compressed and have no negative camber. What size tires is he planning to run. SHould really roll the fenders. PJ crashed his car cause of a wide wheel and no rolled fenders. Tire? POP.

As for the rear wheels. Aren't those 18's? I dont think FN01RCs are offered in 17x9.5

[Andrew Bohan]

god those are some sexy wheels

Should look pretty sweet on your car once its all done. Nice wheels.

[DoriftoSlut]

If the front fenders have a lip you can sand it or dremel it off. DO IT!!!! Cause you do not want to crash.

[Brian]

thats a nice jack.

[95Blue240sx]

lol, that jack cost me $180 employee price. all aluminum and is low! only 34lbs.

[SilviaDriver]

hahahaha, can i devirginize them too? haha thats not possible. LMAO

[Steeles]

sure it is they only put two on. get the other two and pop their cherries Rims look good like the sizes

[SilviaDriver]

haha forgot bout the other two

i first ordered 18x9.5 +22 from jspec in bronze..then later changed my order to hyperblack and 18x9.5 +12..but they couldnt change the offsets in time or something..so they sent me the +22

but im happy with +22..no need for such low offsets as of now

but throw me some comments bout my tire sizes..

225/45/17
235/40/18

wat do u guys think? good tire sizes? im still a bit fuzzy on the knowledge of tire sizes


one thing that is good bout these wheels...no problems with z32 brake clearence at all..the rear rims make my rotors look small =[

[RBS14]

those tire sizes are good. I've got 17x9's and 225/45 is nice. Little stretched but not much. You don't need to run much camber either. I'm running -2, rolled fenders with room to spare.

if thats the case..that means i dont have to pull my fendres correct?

[CleanS14]

nah... roll only... no pulling necessary... a 9.5 +22 is pretty damn flush with a little negative camber in the rear... but a 10.5 +26 is even nicer

and don't forget to relocate your harness after you slam in front hahaha... I forgot and had a little accident with it while sliding.

[Chernobyl]

I'm not pissed off here. But I'm so sick of everyone saying that. Maybe it would be different if I lived in California, but I never see these wheels ever in person. Sure lots of people have them, and you see them on the net all the time. But has it ever occured to you that they are great wheels? No Z brake clearance problems, great sizes, great offets, great weight, AND GREAT PRICE. I've been trying to pick out wheels for ever now, it's the hardest decision I think I've ever made about my car, and I keep being led back to the FN01RC's. Sure, I'd love to have many other wheels, Nismo LM GT4, Volk TE-37, etc. etc., too bad I'm not rich. I'd also rather have R33 GTR, but they're too rare, and my tires are gone, I can't wait around for a pair to pop up, and for that person to want too much money. Ok, rant over lol.

I love the wheels. I'm getting bronze I think for my black 1997 , that is, if I ever decide!

[95Blue240sx]

yeah choosing wheels are a hard choice, hint why i tried SilviaDriver's rims on. im still undecided. i've been looking in the gallery, in the post your pic thread and still havent decided. hard choice!

on another note, every seems to have these wheels, but from what i seen around here in San Jose. only like 2 people have them. a black zenki, dont know your name(Jay's friend), and SilviaDriver. the price is really a factor and the FN's are great for the price and sizes. they may be popular rims, but thats only online, unless you goto a drift even.

[ch1873857]

i agree figuring i have a set that was shipped out today. 17x8 +35 hyperblacks with 225/45 cant wait
