Default Potential Autox Setup (Not for the faint at heart)

Hey guys,

got to test fit some 17x10s today.

it was too bad they were the +25mm instead of the +35mm that they originally told me. Damn EVO owners don't know the offset of their own wheels

anyway here are the pics

17x10 +25mm
5zigen FN01R-C
Silver
KW Variant 3s
-1.7 camber all around (i'll be running -3.0 in the front for events)







here is the strut clearance in the rear


i think i could go to a +35mm but it's iffy, i may just buy one as a test and if doesn't fit, try and track down a 240sx or supra owner that needs new rear wheels

the +25mm is too low i think. I'll try and get pics of my car on some 17x10 (6.75" backspacing with a 5mm spacer ~38mm) CCWs next month.

more pics!

I wanna see what it looks straight from behind... I also would like to see how much clearance there is in the inner fender when the front tires are turned all the way.

Gotta weight scale?! Would like to know how much the tire and wheel together weigh.

Sweet car... Aspen white is my fav.

think roller skates

with the -3.0 camber in the front and hopefully higher offset all around it'd look alot better.

maybe i'll have to pick up some wider front fenders, just for fun....

as you see there was a car behind me, and i only did that side.

at full lock it doesn't rub, and since i'm pretty high up it shouldn't have issue under compression either.

no scale as we were at an autox and I stole them from an EVO guy before he packed everything up.

i should mention, the front bumper requires modification to work with these wheels/tires

we are doing the mod to a friends car (ccw's i mentioned) in the coming weeks so he can autox with the front bumper installed next time

I'll take more pics then with his wheels on my car and take more measurements and pics of inner fender well.
