Freed Engineering Whiteout FR-S - SSR SP1 18x9 +38 - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum

Freed Engineering · 06-20-2012, 07:09 PM

Just got some wheels for our shop FR-S. They are 3 piece SSR SP1

Sizing is 18x9 +38 with 255/35-18s all around.

This size is spot on! I will be changing the rear wheel sizing just a tiny bit but it's basically a great setup.

Now running Fortune Auto coilovers.

I took it to the track last weekend and decided it was time to start upgrading. It does great in stock form, but def could use a bit of help.

- Mainly with the tires and brakes. Well get to HP adders soon..........

Let me know what you think!!

It doesn't look too bad! I personally not a fan of polished lips on wheels. And what exhaust are you running since I only see a single exit?

Yea the wheels will be changed soon.

The exhaust is custom built by us. We will be releasing it for sale soon. Single exit cat back.

An pics of it straight on from the rear? Looks like it pokes out a little? I planed on getting 18*9.5 +38 in the rear. Just want to get an idea of how it's going to look

Is this a good fit that will clear the fenders?

It pokes out a tiny bit. If it was lowered it would need a bit of camber to sit in, which is what I will be doing.

Could you please post some more photos from these angles:

1. Front viewing the car longitudinally
2. Rear " "
3. Front at a slight angle as per 1.
4. Rear " " as per 2.
5. Close up of front and rear fenders showing rim & tyre

Cheers!

Does the rear go out past the fender?

It does a tiny bit. You can tell from the pics.

Matt Andrews · 06-22-2012, 10:59 AM

what tire is that? wondering if the section width is different than the one I tried (NT01). I would not have thought that a +38 would have worked without significant rubbing at full lock. to add to the picture requests, can you stick the camera back into the wheel well to take a picture of how much space you have between the tire and the spring?

near mexi

considering he's slightly poking here (which IMHO isn't 'spot on'), adding a 1/4" on both sides of your wheel isn't going to help you. Might rub on the inside too.

Perhaps it boils down to the tire, since this guy has 255's all around; if you stretch it might fit better

CoRi J · 06-23-2012, 10:12 PM

I think I'm the rare car enthusiast breed that is finding all of the customizations looking great on this car so far, I like the single exhaust idea on it!

OldSkool86 · 06-23-2012, 10:54 PM

Damn, looks like a roll and pull needed? Or gonna rub plenty sick...wheels look good tho

It is the nt555. I'm going to change the wheel barrels and tire sizing a bit. I'll get some pics for you.

There's definitely plently of room between the spring and wheel. No rubbing.

Smaller tires would work better, but I didn't want sunken fitment. After I lower it it will work out perfect. I'll post pics for you in the future. Tons of room in the rear for a 10" wide.

Thank you!! I personally love it. And you won't be able to beat this setup when it comes to cost and weight reduction when we release it for sale.

No pull needed maybe a slight roll. Like I said I'll post pics when I get the suspension setup in a week or so.

dori. · 06-24-2012, 05:01 PM

Definitely looking forward to it!
