Alright I just finished putting on the first wheel.

It's definitely a tight squeeze but it looks like it will be good

escobar929 · 06-07-2011, 10:53 AM

love the wheels

jb2178 · 06-07-2011, 10:58 AM

I've been debating these with other options for a while, can I get some more profile shots down the side of the car? Are you running any spacers?

BrokenVert · 06-07-2011, 11:38 AM

Alright the other wheel is on the front axel. Going to the nearest parkinglot after to lunch to see if they rub

BrokenVert · 06-07-2011, 11:39 AM

I'll get more shot after lunch. No spacers, it's just a tight fit!

tcd223 · 06-07-2011, 12:46 PM

inbeforeyoureturnmywheelsandIhavetokillyou

but seriously, they look sharp. Try not to crash into any curbs with them...

BrokenVert · 06-07-2011, 12:48 PM

I think were in business. I've been trying to get this car to rub for the past 20 minutes and I can't do it!

bogart · 06-07-2011, 01:53 PM

More pix!

First pic looks like if you did some serious high compresion turns you'd rub.... Looks good and different.

timhatimay · 06-07-2011, 08:27 PM

Looks like it may rub, but if you haven't been noticing it, it will probably be a rarity (so who cares!). Are you still stock camber? Some of the shots look like you have some nice negative camber there. I can't wait to hear what you think after auto-x and driving around, because I have the same size wheels and would love to go bigger than 225! I know you were considering a roll, did you ever roll the fenders? Wheels look great on the car BTW, give us a full side shot! I love the OZ ultra's.

But wait...why do you care about weight, don't you drive a vert???

BrokenVert · 06-07-2011, 08:36 PM

It looks a but off cause the wheel was slightly cocked when I took the pics.

I honestly wasn't sure if the 245 would remotely fit so I only ordered the front axel with intentions of putting a 245 on the back no matter what.

So I'm ordering the rear axel next week when I get my paycheck and life will be good.

I did several high compression turns. The rear 255 PS2s broke before the front without a hint of understeer or rub.

I was at -.5 during my last alignment a year ago. I'm gonna ask my shop for max camber and see how far they can push it. I'll invest in camber plates when I replace the shocks and springs next summer.

I'm leaving to go abroad for a year come September so there's no point in doing it now.

:edit: also I'm not rolled and I'll do a full shoot after I get the rears. Lol

Choclove23 · 06-07-2011, 09:19 PM

Nice.
Ultraleggras are great.
No 245s don't rub.
Black is awesome.

BrokenVert · 06-07-2011, 10:01 PM

^I did 245s up front.

I am running a 245 square setup and I can rotate tires finally!

Not to mention Direzza's are WIDE! I had to go down to 245 in the rear because the 255 was a monster. Actually the 245 still seemed wider than my 255 Hankook. 245 in the front should be great!

Damn your telling me. I spoke too soon

Two people in the car with a big dip at 70mph on the highway.

Then a second time at a big bump (sharp impact)

No damage on the fender but it looks like I will need to roll after all.

derekL · 06-08-2011, 09:28 AM

dudee.. i got these in 18s with 255 and they rub so bad, but surprising that your rub is in the front, mine mostly rub on the passenger rear

Do you have 18x9 in the back? I'm assuming that you do because you say you have a 255. Those are really tight in the back. I will have no issues in the back because I'm running a 245 on a 17x8 wheel

It is a bit tight in the front tho, as I've discovered lol.

ptack · 06-08-2011, 01:52 PM

I think you can fix it with a very slight roll. I had a similar problem with 1 of the rear 255s and $50 took care of it.

What about the color? Are you keeping em silver or powder coating? Pics are hard to really tell with God's color. I prefer a dark or greyish silver.
