Dustin's UltraMarine FR-S (Engine Blew - LS3 Time)

[GT86Olli]

Thanks! and Yes I will. I need the conversion from 5x100 to 5x114.3 anyway. 11mm Spacer in the front will actually push it out a couple mm too far, but is as small as you can get. Rear is getting a 25mm spacer and should be enough with such a wide tire. If not I will add another 10mm spacer and it should be good to go.

Eventually I will make the switch to 5x114.3 hubs/custom 5x100 wheels. For now this will work great. The new wheels weight about 22lbs (18x10.5) compared to my current XXRs that weight a little over 24lbs at 18x8.75.

Thanks for answer! 22 lbs are good. But spacers an conversion stuff weighs something, too.
I asked because I thought there would be any custom possibility to choose personal sizes for that rim.
Because actually I install Rocket Bunny V1 too an it took me a lot of time to chosse the right wheel and tire setup.
I decided to go with SSR too, but I don't wanted to mount spacers so I ordered SSR Professor SP1 in 9.5x18 -3 front and 10.5x18 -26 rear (5x100). So there is no need for conversion stuff or spacers. And the rims weigh 23.3 lbs front and 24.2 lbs rear. So that's quite good for a three-piece!

Few Photo's from this weekend.







The Aluminum Riv Nuts came in, but I didn't want them to react with the steel of the body, so I went ahead and ordered stainless steel ones. I have been reading a lot of people having issues with the aluminum ones stripping.



I also Tried test fitting a wheel, only to realize my extended studs were... too extended...





Really like the wheels though. Not as much concave as I was expecting/hoping for, but they look good none-the-less:

Got the tires mounted yesterday.

Wheels look great!

Stainless steel hardware can strip surprisingly quick too and the screw heads can be brittle so be careful of that when tightening. Are you going to use a thread locker on them?

[DustinS]

Thank You! The more I stare at them, the more I start to love them.

I didn't plan on using thread locker, but that probably isn't a bad idea. I'll make sure to toss my blue into into the box of stuff I am taking with me.

[DustinS]

Gyeon Order came in. Excited to try this out. Should be able to run it on my exhaust as well. So I plan on polishing the mufflers/tips and tossing this on.

[DustinS]

The rest of the parts came in:

Stainless Rivet Nuts.


10mm Conversion Spacer (really tiny, wouldn't trust anything but a good name brand on this one) and Security Lug Nuts. Will replace the mismatch lug nut.

[ILLSMOQ]

I've used those stainless nutserts, I had a hard time with them at first but got the hang of it. Did you get the tool that's specifically made for these?

That is a shallow spacer, yeah I wouldn't cheap out there haha

[DustinS]

I did get the tool made for them. The aluminum ones are super easy to tighten, hoping the stainless aren't too bad.

I love you rear diffuser delete set up. Looks so raw. Prob looks so good in person.

[DustinS]

Might start cutting into the front of the car today. Hmm.
@olsonpg Thanks! I really need to get it back on. I started cutting it to clear the new mufflers and the dremel died after the first cut. Bought a new one to help with the flare install, so that will happen as well.

[olsonpg]

Actually very excited for this RB build, did you go v1? I've been waiting for someone to throw those exact wheels on a widebody.
Thats some fat rubber you have going on there. Making me rethink my piddly 265's.

[DustinS]

I did go v1, the others are a lot wider, making the need for crazy offsets worse. This allowed me to run one piece wheels with relatively small spacers.











Needs a little work as it rubs on the front bumper where the bumper piece and fender piece attach. Need to make sure it doesn't rub anywhere else.

[ILLSMOQ]

Awesome! Getting it done!
