HRC! I LOVE YOUR CAR!!!!!!!!!! One of the BEST, MOST SIMPLE YET PORWERFUL LOOKING! Definetly one of my favorites car! I can appreciate the true color hues of artic, and I love it man. I hope you read this, because i really like those wheels. They look so light man.

mbdurham · 01-16-2007, 08:04 PM

I can't even describe how good that looks one of the best on the forum. I like the CH's but after seeing your car I am glad iI didn't get them I would have regretted it.

HRC · 01-16-2007, 08:04 PM

Thanks for all the very kind words!

Vu, the glass had goose and cranberry

mbdurham · 01-16-2007, 08:49 PM

I like the look with spacers should be about the same offset as the my ME's. I have been debating the H&R sport springs and after seeing the pics of your car I believe I will have to do it....did the ride change much?......but damnit you are making me think twice about the 245/275's....Also What lugs are you using? Not OEM

Driv3r · 01-16-2007, 08:54 PM

HRC i got to give you props......your ride is unique and CLEEEEAN........
Im loving the Ray's....if I could have afforded any wheel, i would have bough those in black "time attack" special edition....

Your car just works, it fits so nicely, Gj with it!

CoralRedPlz · 01-16-2007, 08:59 PM

car looks gorgeous!

now for my noob question: what do spacers do for wheels?

bzabodyn · 01-16-2007, 09:18 PM

love the CE's - stance is perfect now! what are you effective offsets f/r now?

I originally purchased the 5mm's for a +30 rim, but the LE's took to long, so when I re-ordered, I went for the standard +35's. +30 on a 9.5" rim looks good and does not rub!

I changed the shocks at the same time, but my ride is still very close to OEM ZSP, I have the dampers adjusted almost at the lowest setting. I have a baby girl coming soI wanted a ride close to ZSP.

The bolts I have are no-name ones I got from Creative Autoworks to go with the 5mm spacers. I ordered Ray's bolts, but the guy forgot to put in the order

Thank You!

Spacers push the wheels out closer to the fender. I installed a pair of very thin 5mm ones in the rear.

19x8.5, +35 Front
19x9.5, +35 Rear

With rear 5mm spacers, rears are now +30.

Congrats on the baby girl. Once again car looks amazing. Kinda makes me regret not getting the CE's but I don't think gunmetal would have looked as good. is that titanium or mercury silver?

Is it close to rubbing? Wondering if I go with 245/275 and the H&R if it will rub?

Did you decide what centercaps? Plain, carbon GT or carbon VR?

Thanks bro! The finish is mecury silver, and I also prefer the lighter finish over the darker gunmetal. I think the brighter finish helps show the curves of the rim better! Your ME's will look dope! Welcome (or welcome back) to the Volk brand!

I think you may rub slightly on big bumps or dips at highway speeds with people or gear in the car, but not too bad if at all. You already know I will recommend 265's LOL!

I haven't decided which cover cap to go with, what do you like?
