Make my wheels perfect

TBOX · 03-19-2011, 10:37 AM

I have no problems with dropping the car. I'll snag up a set of coil overs.

Again I was trying to plan ahead. If I can have coilovers installed before I put in the wheels knowing I'll need them I save time and effort. Hence why I was asking

Youre thinking it'll look off from the front though. Maybe a 10 mm spacer then?

10-15 mm spacer out back. leave the stock camber arms alone up front, you will need to run a lot of negative camber to get those wheels to fit up front.

You don't think 15mm is too much in the rear with a 315 tire?

why are you putting a 315 on the rear with a 10.5? there is no point on running a 315 tire on this car unless you are making serious, serious power. 315 is also a bit much for a 10.5 inch wheel anyway. if you are pretty much stock power wise, or just bolt ons, 285 is sufficient, and some people like to do 305 for the look, and i guess maybe there is some performance benefit, but a 315 is way overkill and its not worth the hassle and expensive tires. put more money into a better suspension setup or just other mods. a Dodge viper, with 600hp comes with 315 tires. i dont think anyone is running a 315 on this car.

Advise is noted, but irrelevant. The tires are already mounted on the wheels and were at no additional cost to me over top the price of my wheels. When I replace them I have no intention of doing so with 315's.
I appreciate your advice and wanting to help, but replacing these tires would cost more. And I'm well aware of what tires come on a viper there's one parked in my driveway

haha, nice post some pics of the viper

I didn't realize they were already on the wheels.

Here is something for reference: chuckd05 has pretty much the same setup. he ran 10mm spacers in back and the pictures in the thread (linked below) are what it looks like.

Volk GTS' Installed 19x9.5 +17 19x10.5 +18 ( but added 10mm spacer ) Pics & Questions

he actually went out and got 15mm spacers, but according to the thread below they were too much.

FS: 66% brand new 15MM H&R spacers

so i would go with the 10's, especially with the extra meat out back.

I'm pretty sure you're a Jedi, as I just clicked on your profile, saw you were reading that post and went to it before you posted this up.
Thanks man

Btw, Shoot me a pm where you're from in NY, we should meet up.

The viper is still in storage. I'll have pics in a couple weeks when it comes out to play. Yellow and black ACR

hahah, nothing wrong with always wanting to drive an awesome car. Once my 300zx is good to go, that's going to be my weekend 'go out for a drive' car, but i must say, i love every minute of driving my 370z.

Yeah your 300 zx tt is sweet. Always wanted one when they were brand new, but too much $$$ as I was entering the workforce at the time. I'm sure it's a load of fun to drive.

SO you were lying that it was in your driveway hmm?

oh man yellow and black ACR, that car is a beast! i was hoping it was at least a GTS or an ACR, those cars are monsters, and as far as vipers go they are rare (not that you see many vipers in general)

Yah and now that I got you guys all excited about it I can't take credit for it lol. While it's always parked net to my car in the summer, it's my next door neighbor / land lords car hehe.
I'll snap some pics of our rides together in a couple weeks.

And yes it's a beast.

Well in case anyone is following this, the fitment is fine. No rubbing. A bit of poke in the front but not ugly. The rear wheels them self are a touch sunken but the tire is flush. I have 10mm spacers on the way.

Oh and stock ride height, no rubbing in the front. Looks like it would happen though if I retained the current camber and lowered an inch. The ride height is preventing any rubs at this time.

Please post up a picture or two.
