18's on a 1G

[robvas]

18x7.5" Racing Hart CP 035's installed today

225-40-18's

Fits great, nowhere near the wheel gap that I thought there would be, I still don't think I'll lower it because the fenders might rub....

Looks great and rides great, I thought they'd be too big but I guess not.

Hey so you're saying you have stock suspension?

I'm getting my 18" within a few weeks from now, but I maybe wait for the installation due to winter, but I'm getting also a set of eibach's sportlines wich is like a 1.7" drop, but I now that you set there's now wheel gap I might get a Pro-Kit instead... any pictures of you wheel setup? does it handle way better?

look in my profile. 18's

 

[ivanr4g63]

Simply nice man...!

I'll post some pictures when I get mines in...

 

[ivanr4g63]

Well as promised... these are my new wheels...

ADR 'vision' 18" Black w/polished inner lip and kumho 225-40-18 Z-rated of course...

just waiting on my Sportlines and they'all go in the car at the same time, maybe wait a little more if snows here...

I knew that 18" wheels would look large on a DSM, but I had no idea that the car would seem to totally disappear. Wow.

ps. do you always park on carpet? that seems rather weenie.

pps. you seem to have a lot of negative camber. it looks close to 90 degrees of camber, in fact. your car would handle better if you dropped that back to about 2.5 degrees in the front and 1.5 degrees in the rear.

ppps. pretty wheels, though.

 

[ivanr4g63]

Yeah... I'll work with camber and such issues when I receive EibachsSportlines and install Wheels, and I rather not lower the car more than 1.75" wich is pretty much what Eibach offers...
But thanks for the coments.

You all just aren't ready for my sense of humor, are you?

haha, im kinda out of it. I thought you were talking to me becaue i was the only one who posted a car w/ rims. Then i got the joke,then read his post of taking you seriously. Quite a Stir i do say.

i'm riding 17's with gc & ags setup. rides nicely, and car was dropped the full 2.25", or the most gc's will go. i was thinking of going 18's but then that drop would not go well with them... ; x

 

[gigahz95]

god forbid your car not be on the ground.
