An Uncommon Stance: 2005 Hyundai Elantra

[ryanjblajda]

So i finally got some wheels for shelly (my cars name). i need center caps, hubcentric rings, extended lug bolts, spacers, and wheel locks, but the only thing i have cash for is the locks, because to do the rest i also need to roll the rear fenders.

Photoshoot with XXR/Sportmax 002

they definitely need some work, but whatever they look good for now. better than rolling on steelies.

so i posted a thread about getting my car lower. you can find that here http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...ewpost&t=35490

and i figured i would let anyone know thats still following this thread know. probably wont be any updates for a bit...other than i got wheel locks for the XXRs, and smiley face dude valve stem covers, to go with my cigarette lighter. ( i dont smoke, i wanted something to put in the hole...and some of my friends smoke, so it works) i might be working on getting LEDs for my tails, as during the day its hard to see the lights since theyre murdered out all black and stuff.

o:

Spacers first then the lows.

Matrixloader is on megan coilovers and he can go pretty low, look into their stuff.

haha i need a fender roll in the back first. i literally have like credit card clearance between the fender lip and tire. and i shred my passenger front tire when i hit bumps. little triangle pieces come off. lol. i want to go another 1.5" lower, my lip will sit .5" off the ground *maniacal laugh*

[ryanjblajda]

well for anyone that still follows this thread, i ordered a new tire from NLmotoring to replace the one that i have in my passenger rear that is bald and showing the tire wear things. i sliced my finger on them metal threads putting the damn wheel on when i bought them. that was a fun discovery. anyways, they are Achilles ATR Sport 195/45-16 Tires and ill get Pepboys to install them if i cant find a cheaper place. they dont need to be stretched as the recommended wheel size is 6.0-7.5. i wish i had the money to buy all 4 165/45/16s that i want to stretch, but im broke so no stretch for me.

Look around for local tire shops (maybe even a hood shop)! Around my area pep boys and those places wanted 20 per tire and I ended up getting all 4 mounted and balanced for 35.

[ryanjblajda]

yeah they wanted like 38 something to get the tire mounted. the wheels already been balanced though, so it shouldn't need a rebalance right?

Every time you mount a tire it needs to be balanced, you're not balancing the wheel per say, but balancing the wheel and tire as one since tires often have a heavier and lighter spot. Not to mention if the wheel has a bend then it needs to be balanced for that too.

cool thanks well i think they probably put that into that $30 quote then. cool. i just have to wait for my tire to come in....

Dont get 16s or 17s. You will rub like a bitch no matter how much you roll and pull fenders. I was as low as you were with my stocks got the 16x7 et 25 work cr-kai. They rubbed very bad and had to raise tge car and adjust a lot. Sold those and got 15x8 et 15 xxr 531. They look great, fit amazingly and i can go as low as i wanted. Which i had to cut my tow hooks and front is literally a inch off the ground. Its all on how low you want to go though.

[ryanjblajda]

yeah i like how the 16s look, but to really get the fitment i want ill need 165/45s stretched on there. the next plan is working the fitment as it currently is. i will never put 17s on her lol i gotta cross post my update from elantraXD

Pics or didn't happen...




I have 17x7's with a high ish 30 something offset and only the fronts rub, but that can be easily fixed by getting the fenders rolled. The back with -2 degrees of camber will not rub even with the coils turned all of the way down for me.

Dylan, I have seen your posts about how good your elantra is, but I have yet to see a picture.

I don't mean this to offend you, but you really need pics before I believe your car looks like how you say it is.

thanks dude. my next plans are as follows.

REAR SETUP:

rear fender roll, extended lug bolts, camber kit and the 25mm spacers, but thats because i dont know if they make 12mm spacers. im not sure of the camber but ill probably max out the camber kit, unless i can find one that gets more than 1.75 degrees of adjustment.

FRONT SETUP:

i dont think ill need to roll the fronts as the lips are pretty much non-existent. but i want 10mm spacers, and a camber of like 2-3 degrees to fit those 195/45s properly

OTHER THINGS:

i found a garage where i can get a trunk lid for cheap, so i can SHAVE ALL THE EMBLEMS!!
