Wheel Directory: ESM 004 18x9.0 +38
 

http://www.darrendriven.com/ft86/title.png

first things first the center caps say "esm" not bbs so don't flame me! not tryin to pass these off as lm's (can't afford those bad boys) haha but i love the style :)

anyways the specs are 18x9 +38....tires are hankook ventus v12 255/35/18. dropped on eibach pro kit with whiteline camber bolts set at -1 degree. although i might have to back off the camber a bit because they barely clear the suspension.

also want to change the lugs...they stick out too much for my taste and don't quite match the center caps.

sorry the pics came out so big...not sure how to make them smaller.

also...is it bad that the wheels are so close to the suspension. should i look into
fixing that quickly or will i be alright? i haven't noticed anything while driving it.

Not bad.....

Any idea the weight?

thanks!

wheel in relation to suspension clearance should never change. if it does, you may have some issues...

how's the front fitment, does it stick out much??

I like. A lot!

That looks amazing. I like how it makes the car stand out even more. Well done good sir (or madam).

it pokes a little but its not very noticeable. i was worried that it would poke more actually but with the -1 degree camber its pretty flush.

in that last picture the steering wheel is turned a little so the wheel looks like it is poking more than it really is.

looks very nice, not digging the red lug nuts. too much color.
but over all looks very good. nice color combo. not too ricy

Clean setup! Now get a drop ASAP :)

haha it is dropped on the eibach pro kit :) it looks lower in person though. i didnt want to slam it...just going for a clean look.

coilovers will definitely be my next purchase though...i don't like how close the front wheels are to the stock shocks. i know they won't move in that direction but it makes me a bit nervous still.

Really? Pictures make it seem like you are not dropped at all :bellyroll: What coilover system were you planning to get? Maybe a KW V3 Coilovers for the FR-S / BRZ?

I resized your photos for ya.

No on the lugnuts but digthe wheels

yea i agree...i already have short plain ol' silver lugs on the way :)

Yeah, they just extend too much for my taste. I'm sure there are shorter tuner lugs also

Thinking about getting these, i need to sell my Gram Lights and get something cheaper and these can be had at a good price in the silver which i prefer. They are the staggered 18x8 +35 and 18x9 +38 i need to see how much they would charge for 9's all around.

Who sell these on this forum?

Your car looks amazing. Thanks for sharing the pics. You already know that you gotta lose the lugs and you are all set.
The car definitely looks lowered and very, very clean. Good job and keep up the good work.

Looks really good! But man that curb is oh so close!

coilovers will definitely be my next purchase though...i don't like how close the front wheels are to the stock shocks. i know they won't move in that direction but it makes me a bit nervous still.[/QUOTE]

You shouldn't have anything to worry about. The clearance between the wheel and strut won't change from where they are now. You have people who stretch their tires to get even close with a wider rim. Your more than fine.

Esm 004 18x9 +38 Square Set Up
 

Just got these mounted up the other day so I thought I'd share some quick pictures I took. The set up is esm 004 18x9 +38 with dunlop dz101 225/40r18 all the way around. I'm running -1 and -3 chamber in the rear (havnt gotten adjustable control arms yet). I'm also running fortune autos 500 coils with the swift spring upgrade. Enjoy!

Yum. These are on my short list along with Linea Course Lemans.

sweet ride for sure. i would've went with a 245.

Me Likey!

Looking good! :happy0180:

I'm having a tough time deciding between getting these for street use only, or splurging on a set of Kosei K4R's (17x8 +36) for autocross.

There is no way 245 would have fit unless I wanted to raise the front more than I already did. This is just for street, ill find something more proper for autox. Thanks for the complement though :)

Looks great. Where did you get them from?

I actually got them from y'all, which I suspect you kinda knew that. Thanks for all the help guys

I thought so too. They turned out really good. Thanks for posting pics.

I thought a 245/35/18 was easy to fit?

You might be able to but I didn't wanna run that small of a sidewall

Merged @SunkenFRS's topic: same wheel w same specs

LMFAO, i swear in that pic it looks like you have a supra spoiler on there if you glance quickly because of the truck in the background. Oh and nice wheels I just bought the same ones. :)

i was just thinking the same thing!! :bellyroll::bellyroll::bellyroll:
