wheel fitment help (stance)

[tips000]

ok, Im looking to get a better stance with my 1ga talon. I am not really sure what I need. I am lowered on eibach prokit springs 1". I would love to have a nicer stance. My front wheels are about flush with the body as it is. My rears seem like they are sunk in a lot. I think the rims are 16x7.5 or 16x8 and the tires are 205/50/16. Im not looking to go down another 6 inches, Im not looking to stretch my tires so that if I hit a rock I will die. Nothing dangerous, just look a little more agressive.

I think i need 1/2" spacers on the rear and I have a set of 8mm spacers I might put on the front.

Here it is how it sits,

judging by the picture what do you think?

Plans (please add input):
-lower the front another 1/2"
- 1/2" (??) wheel spacers on the rear
- 8mm spacers on the front
- alignment with SLIGHT negative camber ( nothing stupid or dangerous)



This is the look im going for without spending $2k or wheels/tires/suspension.

I'm thinking its mostly in the rims, rims play a big role in looks/stance.

Get some wheels, the only way to go.

Stance = concave face, flush to the fender, meaty tires, as close to 0 camber as possible without rubbing.

1) If you wanna use spacers you need elongated wheel studs, if not you are just gonna go kill yourself. 2) You are decreasing the performance of you car with spacers (weight) and/or not giving any more contact path,
if you can give me the exact measurements of you rims (16x7 or 16x8) i can tell you 205 don't belong in there, you need a wider tire, instead of the 8mm spacer, and freaking VW style 1/2 inch spacer.

Lol that car is sweet. Looked at the for sale ad many times on Xceed.

X2 on stance being about the wheels. XXR's?

Aww man, I like my wheels . The fronts are like perfect, just seems like the rears are way sunk in. I was planning on using the spacers that bolt onto the
Knuckle and then bolt onto the wheels. And bigger tires are also in the future but I can't justify throwing away these until they get worn.

Spacers like these:

if you wheels are 16x8 the use 235 tires, that would give you close to 30mm more instead of using spacers so big.

 

[tips000]

Kidtsi your car looks sick, I'm probably going to end up going with bigger tires then.

225/50/16 0r 225/55/16?

Thanks, ill go 225/50 if your wheels are 8 ill go 235.

thank you

I got some new wheels and tires, 225/45/17 I got them for a steal of a deal. The offset sucks though

I'd like to put small spacers on and 235/45/17 tires, they are so close to rubbing the front strut right now it sucks. The rears have 8mm spacers right now. It handles like a dream though!

That's not really "stance" at all and putting 235 width tires on an 8" wheel will make it even less so.

 

[tips000]

If they stuck out a little further I would be happy with the "stance"

My advice is to lower the front end 1.5'' and raise the rear of the car 1.0-1.5''
This will give you more stance than any wheel/tire combo you can bolt-on at the moment.
I thhink the new wheels/tires will look better if the car sat higher out back and lower up front.

My $.02

Yeah, I dont have coilovers though so I would have to cut springs, I planned on cutting half a coil off the front springs but any more than that and Im thinking the ride would blow. I live in BFE with potholes the size of small children.

ProTip: Stop buying things that don't achieve your goal.

A nice set of GC coilovers and AGXs would help the ride height "issue" that ProKits have, in that they make the front look higher. A "decent" set of knockoffs and tires in 17" won't be expensive.

What WILL get expensive is buying the wrong parts over and over.

AGX's and knock off wheels are all the wrong parts though?
