The 501 15x8 are 15 offset I'm not sure the 002 15x8's will fit, but the 15x7 with a 38 offset should fit. |

Looks like you just put on the fronts. Is it rubbing alot, especially when you make a u turn?
Did u get the rears on? If you've got pics i'd love to see them. What is the offset for the rears? |

Will you be putting the rims/tires in the back too? I wanna see how it looks in the back! I image it will rub more than the front.... But the stance.. OH MAnnnnnnn... beautiful!

Looks so sexy.

Dude, go for the other Axis OG-San's. :eek:
http://www.modacar.com/Merchant2/gra...san_wheels.jpg Id rock the hell out of those!!!!! 15x7, 1in lip. Little less extreme. I want new rims again. :( |
thats an idea...:cool:
i could always try civic extended wheel studs and push them out a bit... |
Ideas ideas...
They come in 3 colors too. Those wheels are so nice! Reminds me of the old school SSR's. Im sure thats what they were going for. |

Damn... those buldge out a lot more than I was expecting/hoping... and I'm sure the 1/8" spacer didn't make that much of a difference. I'm sure there's no way of running the car any lower than what you have. Bleh... I'm kind of sad now.
|
is this only test fitting them wheels onto your car? or what?
I want to see them on your car with the fender mod to fit. Did you try the rear? I want to see those spec sits on the rear please. |

the only way to go lower is bag it, or coilovers on the lowest setting...both dumb ideas...and the spacer does make a difference...cambering in would decrease some buldge, but its 1.5 inches wider then stock with a 25 offset, of course it will buldge.... |

why would it be dumb to dump your car? its do-able at a certain height and with 16 w/ 195-40 it will be straight. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...4_06200521.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...re/0306007.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...acre/080-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...acre/072-1.jpg |
for DD purposes, its impractical, the camber issues would eat tires if you were to drive it everyday...not to mention wear on your front/rear/sides from the road...i had a dumped 96 accord as a dd and had to pick and choose where to go, what roads to take, all because i was too low...and i imagine none of the cars you posted are driven daily...i was speaking in terms of DD'ing, not being a trailer/show queen...

I have to say that those wheels look really clean especially on the white. I can understand wanting to roll the fenders so you can get that extra clearance. But yeah That is definitley a clean look.
|
why would it be dumb to dump your car? its do-able at a certain height and with 16 w/ 195-40 it will be straight. The black Fit has to have bags in the rear. Unless he has the rear fender wells tubbed you cant drive the car with the rear that low. It'll rub inside the fender wells. When I installed my rear sway bar I left the springs out (on purpose) and lowered the car, it sat just like that. But theres no way in hell it would move. Also, judging by what others have posted the Fit doesnt seem to have enough suspension travel to be dumped. Yes, they can be real low but not dumped. Ive seen the T1R coilovers all the way down and it sits like some do on springs. |
could not tell you if they are or not but i would not be surprised if they were.
|
I believe that Black fit is on Air Runner suspension, if it's the same one I'm thinking of.

LOL, I just paid for a set of Work Equip IIIs in 15x8 +20 (f) and 15x8 +10 (r) and they look really similar to your wheels. They are now being made by Work in Japan and I will also be stretching them on 195/50/15 Advan Neova tires. I am going to chop off parts of the fender and mould in some flares though. Also, will probably be going with Airrunner or Universal Air.
Combined with my noblesse kit (sitting in the garage atm) should be quite nice. :) |

I have a buddy with the Equip 3's on his Scion. When we have some time I will try them on and take some pics. They are 15x8's with a simialr offset i beleive. |

Not true camber causes more wear and toe is not adjustable on the fit rear. You must dismount the tires and the remount them on the other side you can't just rotate them because the cords take a set and the tires must be put back on going in the same direction otherwise the cords may fail prematurely.

I will definitely post up lots of pics. I am building the car with fender flares (kinda like those on mini coopers) to make the really Euro like....still debating on what to do with the suspension, might go on airrunner (like my old car) or a hybrid coilover/airbag setup a la Universal Air Suspension.
I got mine direct from Japan, ordered through a shop here locally. |
