MB Oldschools, they suck for clearance. They don't even clear stock s13 front brakes, had to shave them down 3mm.

I think that silver hatch has a perfect old school look. Keep it like that imo.

dazed · 04-13-2011, 05:25 PM

If you're going to try and pull off 19's you're going to need full aero and slam that shit to the ground. And even then idk just because they are unique looking rims. 3 spoke Work/advan w/e.

do megans even make shorter springs? the shock body bottoms out on the thread. only way to make it lower is to droop the springs. your car wont handle as well obviously as a result.

airhead · 04-13-2011, 06:07 PM

you have to get swift springs.
I think FRsport sells them

Maybe you should do more research before just assuming shit.

All wheels are made differently, some have high disk(mounting surface is far from face of wheel) and some have low disk(mounting surface is close to face)

In my case, these wheels are super low disk so they suck for brake clearance.

Also.

You can run swift springs, progress springs or any other spring that is the same diameter and spring rate.

FYI disk type has nothing to do with offset.

Im not sure if your talking to me or not, but I know this. But offset has nothing to do with brake clearance, disk type and spoke type does.

Well, a 17x9 +20 will clear just fine. It's been done to death.

I never said it wouldnt, my first wheel setup was x9 +20 fn01rcs. But my current wheels are 17x9.5 +6 with super low disk, they hit my brake caliper bracket.

KoukiTony · 04-13-2011, 08:16 PM

My first attempt at being flush. hate on my cheap ass wheels if it makes you feel better.

XXR 527 18x9.75 +20 with 5mm spacers all around.

Rear 225/40/18 tires around -2* camber. Front: 225/35/18 tires, not sure on camber

NewS13Guy · 04-13-2011, 08:48 PM

It really does look good, in this recession no one is going to bag on your brand or wheels, just the stance of your s-chassis, bump for a fellow dfw s14

how about some side shots? i wanna see how it looks seeing the whole wheel instead of just fitment haha

Lukasss · 04-13-2011, 10:11 PM

I have a feeling these are going to be the next MB battle, but, dont mistake me for complaining.

They look good, and are super cheap.

Well i was trying to show fitment since it's the fitment thread lol. But here's a side shot:

18x9.75 +15 all 4 corners

and irockchucks, were you at the honda tech meet?

Lukasss · 04-13-2011, 10:35 PM

Yup, they look good.

I absolutely agree. They will be played out in no time. I figured I'd be the first to whore mine out in this thread

jdmspooge · 04-13-2011, 11:53 PM

Wonder why they went with a 9.75 width. Why not just 10 haha. Yeah, it looks pretty good tho. I'll end up getting a set for my daily. I just wouldn't track it with those wheels. I've seen and heard the horror stories about lower budget wheels being used for track...

Overall, I give your stance and set up a 8.5/10! =)

sex14 · 04-14-2011, 12:43 AM

sick set up tran. they look very good fuck the haters

Lukasss · 04-14-2011, 12:48 AM
