1g 18 inch rims ???

This site may earn a commission from merchant affiliate links, including eBay, Amazon, and others.

I had 18" ICW Split 6 Tuners (knock-off Ace Spades) on my car with 225/40/18 Falken tires for a while with no rubbing at all. My car was, and still is, slammed with Ground Control coils and I had no problems with clearance at all. Check out my Gallery for a few pics.
 
Here are Enkei RP02-J's 18x7.5" SBC with 225/40/18 Yokohama ES100 tires. Car is not lowered yet.

No mods needed to fit wheels with no rubbing.

Could you guys include the offset for your rims? This will help out people who want to order rims in the diameter and width you have. :thumb:

Did have problems with the $hity streets here in Ft. Wayne ??

Well other than accidentally denting every wheel when he drove it into a pond (damn shame, probably a high 11 second car) they held up just fine.

I dont know what the offset was when I bought them. They fit nicely on a 2G so I picked them up. Plus they were super cheap so if they didnt fit I could just sell them for more. I can try and measure later.

ivanr4g63 , That looks good. Do you bottom-out a lot??

:thumb: Car looks good though.

Actually no... The suspension is stiff enough for twistie roads yet somewhat smooth for highway driving, I got kyb adjustables and they do a good job with lowered cars, they still hold good absorsion on bumpy roads.

Ohh, and thanks for the compliments.

KYB Adjustables. Are thay hard to tune?? Im looking at getting some. But I know nothing about suspension tuning. Do you need a camber kit being that low??

I've got the KYB AGX adjustables and Eibach Sportlines on my car, if you want to see the differences I'd be more than happy to show you once this foot of snow disappears.

When is the next meet so we can have a AGX/Sportlines class?
