Just wanted to share some progress pics. Before we had 255/35 tires on the wheels and we changed them to 225/40s. Lowered it more to fill in the gap a little.

white on black... hmm...

Are the foglight surounds painted white as well?

Toyobaru808 07-10-2012 08:43 PM

how are the tein flex compared to stock?

Memphis 07-10-2012 09:33 PM

Got anymore pictures of the car with those wheels?

denkigrve 07-10-2012 09:36 PM

Any other shots of the car from other angles to show how the wheels fit?

I saw the springs and knew what it was on lol.

You should definitely do a write-up on the Tein's as well so other people interested will get some first-hand impressions.

love 11R's, whats the offset?

denkigrve 07-10-2012 10:05 PM

You know what. I finally figured out what the DY-12C from yoshihara design were a copy of. It's these wheels. Heh.

I concur, need the offset. Not listed on official website, either.

not sure how i feel about the white on black theme. more pictures might sway me to like it more. LOVE the stance though. i second doing a write-up on the teins. I have the flexs on my mr2 and i love the way it rides and handles.

autofashionfred 07-11-2012 06:14 PM

Sorry guys ill get more pictures of how the wheels fit.

I will also do a write up on the FLEX suspension. Trying them out now and seeing what I can do but Ill post them up with pictures =)

offset please!

Another question, are your flex's maxed all the way down? or do you still have some play? Thanks!

They are +30 all the way around. The Teins are maxed out. The rear shock is too tall and once you max out the shock body it still sits about 2 finger gap from the fender and the top of the tire. We ended up adjusting the spring to drop it lower. The front you can drop it more if you take out a few collars. Dont want to mess up the integrity of the suspension so we might have to see if maybe swift can make some smaller springs that we can use without lowering the stroke too much.:thumbsup:

Yeah I definitely don't wanna ruin the great suspension but I'm super OCD about wheel gap :mad0259:. Anyways on a side note, I think my brother knows you; Cody with the white miata.

i just recently spoke with wedsport about the fitment of 9.5 in the front and they said anything less that a +20-25 will have strut clearance issues.

i know that there is the press release work emotion car with 9.5 +30 all around... do you have any pics of the wheels/strut clearance?

i am getting ready to talk over with a couple sponsors wheel choice so i wanna make sure that i get a proper size and dont run into clearance issues.

RRnold 07-12-2012 02:42 PM

Whats up Freddie, this is Arnold from back in the O-Side days!

Are you still going to What Up Wed @ Tea Station?

With stock suspension the clearance is pretty bad but ill get you pictures with the clearance with the Teins.

autofashionfred 07-18-2012 01:47 PM

Here is a quick video of how it looks like rolling and more angle of the car.

maybe 'inspired by' but definitely not a copy as there are definite differences you can tell by just looking at pictures of each one

Very nice, I have always loved the 11R's and they look amazing on your car! I know not everyone likes the black on white, but I think it makes the car look aggressive in a good way. :)

Thanks for sharing.
Rick
