New Wheel/Tire Size thread

[MadLorEP3]

@madlorep3
You said it MIGHT hit the inside

I think the only way to know if it will work is to wait and try it :/
If it fits that's great, if not hopefully you could use less than 15mm
especially if you're worried about how far past the fender it will go

Ok so it is definitely rubbing. Which we already suspected would happen.
Here is my setup compared to SHGEAZY

Mine: 255 azenis 615k section wdith 10.3" vs. EAZY: 245 dunlop z1 section width of 9.8"
So my azenis is 0.5" (13 mm wider).

EAZY: has 17 x 9 + 35 but with dc5 front LCAs (15mm) and 4 mm spacers SO offset becomes +16
Mine: 17x8.5 +45 planning on getting 15 mm spacers for now since unable to install dc5r front LCA so I will be at +30

Wheel offset calculator says I have 4 mm less inner clearance and 16mm retraction from the outer fender.
My tires are about 13 mm wider but I have 16mm more room from the outer fender then my tires should sit at just about the same place from the fender as his setup? I should be about 3 mm more sunken in even with my 255 tires.

I'm lost on this and do not think I am getting it LOL...

EDIT: I think the numbers above might be wrong...they confuse the shit out of me

Hey Ryan

so you have 17x8.5+30 on 215
I know that if I get 15 mm spacers I wil be at 17x8.5+30 as well on 255
I'm not sure why this is too complicated for me but if you had 255's on your current setup what would you have to do to not have too muchpoke. Once J's gets here obviously I'll say bye bye to poke. But for now....
My front fenders are rolled or flattened. I don't have the fender liners anymore as well.

[MadLorEP3]

Can anyone clarify which bore size we have
i have an 04
I know its been mentioned here that we have 64.1 and someone else said 67.1
the 64.1 sounds about right but just need conformation

[MadLorEP3]

I'm thinking about getting these

15 mm project kics spacers
http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/Me...de=KICS-5115W1

64mm hub centric rings
http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/Me...uct_Code=W1564


This might be better and cheaper too since its already hub centric

The wheels below for reference...So the studs on the spacers will be going through are the larger holes on my wheel below. And the oem studs coming off the hub (Am I using the right term?) will be going into the holes on the spacers. What I'm not getting is where on my wheel below will the oem studs go through after they go pass the holes on the spacers. Is is the smaller hole on my wheels below? Anyone know if they will be sticking out so it will look like I have 10 lugs?

Sorry if I'm not explaining myself well.







EDIT: If only we were able to install the damn dc5 front LCA then I wouldnt have this headache LOL...

With rolled fender you might stand a chance. Just max out the camber plates.

As for the spacers and your stock wheel studs they won't stick out those holes in the wheels. There should be a cavity on the backside of the wheel for the stock studs to sit in.

ok I just placed an order with king motorsports
the sad part is that I will sell these spacers after the weekend and loose money for sure LOL
Then when I have time figure out how to make the dc5r flcas fit....

[MadLorEP3]

Just purchased my H&R 15mm hub centric (64 mm) spacers with studs from Chuck at showstoppersusa and he promised that it will get to me in 2 days...he only charged $5 for shipping. Not bad...$120 total...

I got so confused with those numbers haha.
So you got it sorta figured out?

Wait so the hub on the 04-05 is 64?
My 03 is 56.1.

I'm confused with that spacer question though...
The spacer bolts onto the hub on the car, than you bolt the wheel to the spacer
You should have any of the spacer protruding through to the front of the wheel at all.

yeah from what I was reading its 64.1 on the 04-05
and the spacers i bought which are the H&R 15mm hub centric comes with studs so that I wouldn't have to buy extended studs. So the oem studs from the ep's hub will go into the spacers then the studs on the spacers itself is what the wheels will bolt onto. I think thats how it works. But I could be wrong.

Thats sounds right what yo said about the spacers
I don't know why/how it would seem like there is 10 lug nuts or whatever, like stated in your previous post
But it should be undetectable.


255 tires holy cow..
haha
I thought 245 was pushing it too..

I know...I can never be satisfied with the status quo and always wanna push the envelope...dat can be a bad thing in terms of the time it takes to make it right. But we'll see

EDIT: yeah guess I was trippin on that 10 lugs statement LOL

[MadLorEP3]

I ended up getting ichiba spacers since they already had the studs
instead of the H&R which didnt at 15mm

Question: 215/50/17 +45 on stock height. It will fit just fine right?
