While we are talking about Work Kiwani...fitted them on the GrimmSpeed BRZ
 
Didn't have the car for more than a few hours before testing fitting began. 18 x 9.5 +38 Work Emotion Kiwani's. Deep Bronze w/ deep concave. FedEx man just delivered them today so of course we had to check them out. Big thanks to RavSpec for working with us on the fitment for the BRZ.

Might stick out a bit too far.

Thanks for posting! Gives me an idea of what can really fit up front.

igorot 05-31-2012 01:23 AM

these are for the rear fitment correct?

im actually waiting to see someone push the limits of the front wheel with a slight poke to see what i can run for the street

Well they were meant for the rear but I wanted to try them out on the front. I think we are getting really close to figuring out max at the front.

Georgeus wheels. For the not wheel savy what would be the Max up front? Slightly less offset? I am loving the red lugs too. Are they aluminium?

Is that enough clearance?

Now I'm torn between a 17x8+45 to maintain steering feel, or 17x8+35 for looks...

Fly Guy 06-01-2012 01:46 AM

I'm considering doing both. 10mm less offset in the rear for looks.

Saibot 06-01-2012 08:54 AM

soo.. how would u get rid of that poke? Camber + stretch tires??

just wondering cus im prob ordering these wheels in 7 hours... soo need advice quicktimes

YES!!!! cant wait to see finished pics!!!!:popcorn:

I see a lot of tuners are chosing to go 18x9.5+3X.
So my question is: How will this wheel size affect handling/steering feel and if you stretch a 225 tyre on all 4 wheels how will this alter performance over stock?
The reason I ask this is because now, the more I see these wheels, the more I want a set. I would much prefer 18x8.5 BUT I really want that deep concave look! *sigh*
Cheers.

sirus, im with ya on this one. i really want the deep concave look too and the 18x9.5 +38's i want stick out abit much on the fronts, and regarding tyre sizing i was thinking 225/40's but its too stretched for me, id like to go minimum 235 but afraid it wont fit or even if it does, it'll scrub...

kinda steering towards 17x9's +35's but i like the look of 18's and deep concavee..... :( SIGH

miniphytou 06-04-2012 12:06 PM

Staticfrost 06-09-2012 01:23 AM
