53370, Pics of my 18's
Posted by Mannyyy, Jul-22-03 02:40 PM
Just some pics of my new wheels. 18x7.5 HP Evo's with 225/40R18 Nankang NS-II's. They are noticably much wider than the stock 16's. Instead of having the tires tucked in under the fender, they sit much farther out, flush with the fender.

Mang, I love the look of these things. :D

did you have to lower your car or does it fit great without lowering..just curious cause i *might* get rims EVENTUALLY and springs and shocks and all that crap is such an expensive thing to do just for looks

Looks good! Is your speedometer reading right with the 225/50 tire setup?

Clay, oops! That was a typo, I meant 40 not 50. I'll fix that.

Invazn, I'm not sure, since I've been lowered for over two years. However these particular wheels have an offset of 38mm, which means they stick out a little further than alot of the other wheels with 40 or 42mm offsets. With that much offset I'd imagine they wouldn't rub at stock height either.

Oh and one other thing, I weighed them they're only 6 pounds heavier per wheel and tire than stock. Not too bad.

Thanks for the compliments. :thumbsup

That's a Grill Craft grill in silver. They're kinda expensive (~$120-140) but look pretty nice imo. They're a perfect fit.

Please don't put a bodykit or anything else on it. It looks great the way it is, no need to ruin a clean car.

Heh, naw man. I'm a 96... I've spent hundreds of dollars already on it to make it look 'stock'. :7

The only things left to do, exteriorwise, is get some 97-99 side skirts, then MAYBE an RMDSM lip. I don't know yet, $200 for a plastic lip I'll probably crack is expensive... sure looks nice though.

Very nice! :o Always have liked a subtle deep dish wheel for our cars. Your ride is clean as is, I wouldn't do anything else to it. Enjoy it.

Chrysler kid, I'm lowered on AroSpeed coilovers. Not sure exactly how low but I'd say around 2 inches maybe. I have the Ingalls Extreme Camber kit for the front wheels and the $15 camber kit using six washers for the rear.
