Front: 18x8.5 +45 - 225/40R18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport Back: 18x9.5 +45 - 255/35R18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport Stock Suspension Just got these on yesterday. Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics. I'll post better ones if needed. http://www3.telus.net/puffy/brz/IMG_0648.JPG http://www3.telus.net/puffy/brz/IMG_0649.JPG http://www3.telus.net/puffy/brz/IMG_0650.JPG http://www3.telus.net/puffy/brz/IMG_0651.JPG |
Finally someone puting pictures of the Kojin on a FRS online. Thanks! Needs a drop now but otherwise looking good. Would very much be interessted in better pictures, specially with better light showing off the wheels a bit better
|
Thanks for finally posting pics of these wheels! I'm thinking of going with the exact same setup. Do you notice any handling difference with the staggered setup though, has there been much of a hit to your acceleration?
|
These are the rims I am looking at getting, thanks for the pictures! We certainly need some better pictures that show off the rim itself. It is very hard to see in these shots.
Still very appreciated tho! Also good university ;) |
I would love to see these rims out in the wild but these pics are so poor and worse still the rims are black.
|
the iPhone can take amazing photography, especially in sunlight, just need to know what to do or which app to do post in (hint, Camera+ is a good start)
|
I'll use my standalone point and shoot camera and take some better pics. Just wanted to get some quick shots out to you guys.
Handling-wise, definitely more grip which I don't mind. It might be a bit slower but nothing too noticeable, car still feels nimble as before. |
They look great, especially on a silver car. How's the ride compared to stock?
|
Don't feel that much difference, might be a bit bumpier because of the larger rim. Bit more tire noise though.
|
Thanks for the pics!!

Here are some slightly better iPhone shots. I'll get better ones when I get it washed.

Wow, those really look good. Surprisingly good!
|
I'm also looking at the matte black Kojins for my Firestorm FRS. What do you think? Seems like the black rims are a bit too much for Firestorm?

Thanks for the PS. I'm trying to toss up between the Silver and the Black for this wheel on a firestorm. The Black looks mean, but I reckon the Silver with red lugs would really compliment the 86 logo on the side of the car. |
Silver with red lugs, DOO EEET!
|
Did you have to purchase the center caps separately?
I was thinking of getting these in black for my whiteout fr-s. Any opinions on what color lugs would look good? |
Hey what size spacers did you use to get these suckers to fit?

Hey Guys,
Just got this set up couple days back. I will try and snap some more pics over the weekend and yes I'm on stock suspension at the moment. Let me know if there are any particular angles you guys want to see. Got the Wheels from Chris @ Touge Tuning in Mississauga Attachment 74057 Attachment 74058 Attachment 74059 Attachment 74661 Attachment 74662 |
Nice, this is what I was going to do originally but ended up going square 17x9 Kojins.
How do you like the handling? Love the concavity of the rear spokes. |
That looks really good. What are the fenders?
|
So...any rubbing especially on lock up front? Thanks

Handles like a dream!!! Car's Super Charged, felt great getting those Prius Tires off and making the most of the added power:burnrubber: |
What are the offsets?
|
Looks great! I just got a staggered setup put on 2 days ago. I love the way the concave looks in the rear!

I like! just curious, how would you feel if you had put the 9.5's up front? i see touge only sells one offset for each on their site. Thanks in advance! also, directly head on, front/rear of either side of the car would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
|
He probably wouldn't have been able to do 9.5" in front on stock suspension.
|
Car looks great man. Cant wait til u get your stance dialed in. Even at stock height it still looks great.
Great choices being made. Ill be sure to keep an eye out for ur future updates. |

Exactly, you are on springs. That's why i said "stock suspension". Also you are +38 and these are +45, so yeah.

Having 9.5 at the front definitely would have looked pretty damn good, but I didn't want to put 255s at the front, and also wouldn't want that wide a wheel on 225s. Looks-wise though, hands down it would have been better. I've uploaded some more pics, didn't get to detail the car this weekend like I wanted so I haven't got all the angles down yet. I'll update hopefully this weekend again. Also, if you want to order those wheels from Touge, just call or email the shop, Chris will likely be the one to answer, and he'll help you out. |

9.5" e 38 is almost identical to the distance to the perch of 9" e 45. |
Fair enough, my mistake.

Merged @harkbrz's topic = same wheels w/ same specs
|
Hey guys, I have the same wheels and planning to put them to eibach sportline lowering springs. If I get suitable tires, will these go on with no issues? No spacers etc... Just need some clarity
