  • Custom Dinan Fikse FM5 wheel build. Project Fitted.

    this is actually my first 3pc wheel i have ever bought and obviously my first wheel build.

    how i bought the wheels, and i know hella sunken battleship! they were 17x8.5 +49f and 17x8 +42f with 225/45/17's!





    so i bought 4 3inch lips 2 used you can kind of tell the outer ones arent as shiny and 2 new thanks to thatcher shultz (he has some really good prices on wheel parts)



    so i polished the used ones



    ordered 4 215/40/17 federal ss595's



    these things are freaking wide! a little bit wider than the 225/45/17 yokohama's on the left



    just set the lips on to see how the black center would look and didnt really like them



    then i took them apart



    sent the centers to my buddies body shop for paint



    just got the centers back like an hour ago





    and that is where im at! check back in the next couple days for the final product and final size/offset. ill have some actual nice photos when they are finally together!

        Wow, I had no idea those were not a single piece wheel! Makes me respect Fikse even more for their product. I've never seen any of those up close and personal except for the CCW Classics. Love their stuff, but can't afford them lol!

          yea federals is like all i run now. especially cuz nobody really makes a 225/40/17 and i knew that federals run wide not to mention they dont cost much and they are pretty sticky!

                Ill trade you 4 215/40/17 falken 512s for the 595s. The 512s run super narrow.. too narrow to fit on my wheels=/

                  Haven't you mounted those yet?
                  I really should go dismount the tires on my wheels, and remount them and take a video. (it was 215/40's on a 10" right?)

                    yep. not all wheels are the same. Im sure Id have no problem mounting them on a different 10j w/ flat lips or different barrel design. I mount my 225/40/18s on 18x10.5s using nothing but air

                      no thanks ollie. i actually ordered the 595's with knowing they were actually going to be a little wide. i didnt want a true 215 on there, thats just too small! not to mention i still want some performance out of my tires.
