that's awesome.

 

Today, I took some 2010 Fit Sport 16" aluminum rims to get powdercoated. I got a base 2013 Automatic in polished metal, and I'm getting navy wheels. Hope they turn out o.k.!

 

^^ wooo~ post up picts when done.


i filled my GE up on the way home. was a great drive.

 

Some pics after a quick wash.

16x7 +42 205/45/16
15mm spacers on front, 20mm on rear
Project Kics R40 neo chrome extended lug nuts

The white hood is 3M matte white vinyl. Thinking of doing the whole car so I did the hood first to see how I like it and how it holds up. So far so good. Probably do the whole car after the winter.

 

looks awesome, good job MEATBABY!

 

love the wheels and love the fitment... im considering to go into a flush fitment just like that with the exact same wheel... i want the more concave te37.. none the less looks great man

 

mmmm volks...looking niceeeee!

 

You're gonna beat me to the matte white! I was gonna do my car too, these rocks are killing my hood!! Love the wheels!

 

Thanks everyone.

Yeah, my paint definitely leaves something to be desired. Hate to spend the dough on a quality re-spray for a daily driver because it will just happen again. The vinyl is cheap and relatively easy to apply. Plus I want a white car to stay cool in the summer. It cleans SO easy too. Wash with microfiber mitt then dry with microfiber towel. Looks bangin.

BBS look great on a slammed car. TE37, not necessary. Plus I like not being slammed for daily driving. At least I've got a little suspension travel in the back. Not a fan of riding on bump stops. Yeah, the TE37SL is the concave version, 17" is the smallest size tho. TE37V is the slightly concave but dishy version. Those come in 16". According to the Ray's site, anyway...

 

Meatbaby, I am guessing the 45 series help prevent a lot of rubbing? What suspension are you on? Sorry if i missed it.

 

TE37SL doesn't mean its concave and the egular TE37 isn't.

The reason those TE's aren't concave is because the sizing is lame.

(All Honda sizing will be roughly equally lame)

TE37SL is the cheaper of the two, with uglier finish and big sticker.

Not SL, still concave.

 

A couple questions. Nice set up. looks good.

I have same size/offset wheels and tires and seem to have a much bigger gap. I am on Swifts. So far no rub but I am thinking of gong to 205/50 next year. Think I will rub.? I am surprised you do not rub with the spacers or do you?

 

I'm on 16x7 +40 front 205/50/16 conti dws and 5mm spacer on rear. Don't rub on swifts but I am running -1.5 camber with spc bolts on front.

 

205/45 does help to not rub. Also having all my fenders rolled helps . It allowed me to leave my spacers on. I'm on Buddy Club N+ so my ride height is completely adjustable. I didn't choose the tires, they just came on the wheels, but they're a great size. Before the Volks I had the stock 16" sport rims with 205/50/16, same ride height and same spacers. Lower than your drop and I had no rubbing. The only thing is my dampers are pretty stiff and with just the stock struts you may rub on hard turns, but probably nothing serious.

 

 

MEATBABY- can you confirm that your N+ have damper adjusters on the bottom for front and rear?

 

Whats up FF members been a few months since i have posted on here but since then i have made a custom gurney flap for the OE wing, and got new wheels Racing Heart CP-035

measured for cutting and in vice

after cut notice big hole on sides

test fit grinding sanding test fit , grinding ,sanding ...

fixed up painted and installed final product


wheels and finished wing

 

that's pretty cool looking.

 

Any full side shots with the new wheels?

 

The N+ have damper adjustments on the BOTTOM of the struts in the fronts and on the TOP of the shocks in the back. The fronts are accessible without having to jack up the car tho, as long as you're not too low. The rears are adjustable by removing the plastic shock covers in the cargo area. All very easy.
