I'm Justin. I'm 16. I'm in the Chi-town area (western suburbs)
I have an 87 conquest. Right now it's sittin' on 16x9 rears and 16x7 fronts, no stretch (225 fronts and 245 rears) I gotta say, I'm not the biggest fan of stretch, but I do love a good low stance. My goals are to eventually get flush, not lookin to stretch or poke (that much... I guess I could if i really had too...)
As for suspension, right now I'm replacing struts with KYB's all around, and stock strut mounts (so no camber for now..)
right now I'm wrenching to get this runnin' tight, cause I'm getting 8.5 mpg city. While i'm not exactly light on it, I don't think anyone could dog a 4 banger enough to get 8.5. I do work, but don't have much cash coming right now cause I'm out of work for a month due to an emergency surgery I had monday to remove my appendix. I hope over the summer I can atleast get some spacers to flush out what I have right now. I don't think I'll be lowering any time soon, because d2 racing is coming out with a complete coilover set for the SQ's....the first offered really. They will the full custom strut, spring, and camber plate style sets, not just new sleeve overs for stock style struts, ect. From what I hear they will be around 1500, so I'll be saving for those for a while. Then for wheels. these car's have some nasty offset to be flush. Here's an idea. This car here has front 18x8.5 +8mm,
rear 18x10 -5mm, and as you can see it still needs a few mm to get flush, so I'm guessing flush is around -10mm rear, and around 0mm front.
So, anyone know some wheels that have some good negitive offset so I don't need spacers? Also, I can't decide what wheels I want. I found a set I kinda like, but I can't decide. I'm on the fence for the titanium lip, it will either be dope or ghey. Also, I can't decide if I'd want to run the body matching white spokes, or the machined face spokes with black rim and titanium lip. I would go 18x8.5 +15 up front and 18x9.5 +15 out back, with 20mm spacers in back and 15mm spacers up front. Also, I'm sorry to everybody, but they are fake, but I can't afford baller wheels like you guys! http://ti-wheels.com/ti5/ti5.html
any other idea's for some good wheels? I would like to keep it under or around 1k for all 4. I was actually planning 5zigen FN01R-C's in bronze, cause I've always liked bronze wheels, and the FN01R-C's always seemed more racey than street, which I kinda like, but there's almost no lip on em, although they do have a sick looking curve to em when you get low offsets (If I where to get a set for the quest they'd be 17x9+15 up front and 17x10+12 out back). I just can't decide. as for right now with wheels, until I'm done with supsension and everything, I will just be sending my wheels to have the curb rash finished off and my lips and spoke faces mirror polished...I know this place out in cali that will do it for 30 a wheel, just need to ship em out there from here in Chicago. I hope to get stancin' soon, I just need to get that money rollin...
