Does anyone have pics of FR-s Lowered with stock wheels and and fatter tires?>
Is anyone running the stock wheels with lowering springs on a better sized tire?
I cant decide on t rims there so many choices I figure I would wait til after christmas and winter and in the mean time just do tires and springs if I have idea if the OEM wheels would look good dropped with say a 40 tire |
Whats your definition of flatter/better tires?
|
If you're going to go with a 40 series tire be prepared to have your teeth rattled out of your skull. 45 is the lowest I'd go for something I'd "daily drive." My favorite set up is 225/45/17. I may consider going to 18's.
People seem to forget 18" and up cost more, not to mention, upsizing could weigh more . (not always, but it will costs you) Good luck! |
I was thinking a little bit taller tire when I said fatter. I guess my question would be what would be the best tire size besides the 215/45/17 that is still going to look good and not affect the ride quality. A
Again I was wondering if anyone has lowered the car with the stock wheels on it. I actually like the wheels excpet for the fact that they are only 7 inches wide. I had another question about spacers and people told me to stay away from them I was going to use them so the rear tires would sit almost flush with the fenders I dont like how they are tucked under. I am not very familiar when it comes to specs of wheels tires etc sorry if some people think this is a dumb question |

I like these wheel and another set that Niche makes its there racing wheel line but I am not even sure what bolt patey tern I need. Not to mention thats a pretty good price for 18's if they will work on the FRS http://www.performanceplustire.com/b...lack?size=18x8 Here is another set I like but again I am ignorant to bolt patterns offsets etc. My biggest thing is I want the rear wheel to atleast sit almost flush or just a tiny poke in the rear but still be able to lower the car with the Eibachs |
can someone point me in the right direction here on the best looking set up with those wheels I posted a link to as far as front and rear offest, bolt pattern etc
|
I decided to go with a simple 17x8 with a 245/40/17 size tire. It offers a good amount of tires and brings the wheel out a bit so it doesn't look funny. I understand keeping your factory wheels for a bit, but if that's the case don't worry about tires until you find the right wheel for you. 245 might be the widest you want. I have seen many with that size on 17x9 wheels.

The links that I posted with the 18*8 for 115 I would buy if I knew which offset and bolt pattern to go with. They are priced right and what have I been looking for I just found them this morning. The next step after deciding on these wheels is the tires which is another thing Ito l need some help with because I am going to lower the car with eibrah lowering springs

That leaves +40 the only choice for the wheel in the first link, and +35 or +42 for the wheel in the second. If you read the thread I linked it will tell you what offsets are best for whatever look you are trying to achieve. A 225/40/18 or similar tire will work. |

These are the wheels I am going to order as soon as I get paid.
I know I am off topic now but I mentioned the Eibach lowering springs I found a couple other threads with guys who used Eibachs lowering kit. Does the kit come with everything need as far as supporting mods go like for the camber ? What else sh0ould be purchased along with the springs for the best ride when I order them? |
The pick of the wheel in this picture is the second link. my options are +35 +40 +42.
I didnt see a link you posted. I will try and hunt down the thread . Thanks for any info you guys can give me |
