Went out in to the garage yesterday to test out a few things.
Switched out the Skunk2 front camber kit, to the original upper control arms, wich allows me to go lower.
The combination with lowering the car, with 15x8 with 165/45, its just way to low.
I've been back and forth about wich wheels i wanna get (as i sold my XXR's), but after seeing my friend slammed sedan with 15x9 -3 in front and -28 in the rear, i got hyped and wanted to get me some 15x9 with 0 offset again.
But then, after what i did yesterday, i'm back at the idea of getting myself some 16x9 +20, should be about the same fitment as the 15x8 +0, but it also would get me a bit closer to the fenders as i allways wanted. It would also give me a bit higher ride, without adjusting the coilovers to much.
However, the 16x9 market within a reasonable budget, is pretty tight.
I've been looking at the Japan Racing JR-10 wheels, those are within my budget, and also got the dimensions i want.
Same style of wheels (CCW's), almost same dimensions - 16x9,5.
This gives me wet dreams
16x9 +20 with 195/45 sounds like a good combination to me.
I bought some jr10s for my cb3 accord but I think I need camber arms...Glad u did not sell your ef man..
You happy with your wheels? is the quality OK?
Yeah man, i'm happy that i didnt sell it, the EF's have become somewhat rare here in Norway, would have been a shame selling it.
I bought them used.They where previously fitted on a MK2 GTI.They are really heavy and one of them was not that straight.
Some beefy tyres you got there! that will probably add some weight to also.
They dont look to bad though, i still have some time to decide what type of wheels i want to go for.
Yeap,streets here in Greece are awful so I had to mount a set of 205/50/16 on the wheels.Unfortunately the car is up for sale because I'm unemployed...
I finally got around buying myself a delayed birthday present.
I didn't end up with the Japan Racing wheels as first planned, i like the design and all, but i didnt feel it would fit the look of my project. (mixed feelings)
But it did end up on the same dimensions though, 16x9 +20
