looks good man. I just ordered my wheels and tires and springs. Hopefully install this weekend if not some time next week.

*Astroman* · 04-11-2011, 10:37 PM

I like those a lot more than the old ones. What are the specs?

Brianr4 · 04-11-2011, 10:38 PM

Wow! Looks really good.
Just the right amount of contrast without being tacky!

Mister Z · 04-11-2011, 11:51 PM

I have those same exact wheels too!!! What width and offset did you run? and what size tires?

bzinn 1 · 04-12-2011, 01:03 AM

Thanks guys...

The specs are
Front 15x7 35 offset
Rears 15x8 25 offset

Tires

Front 195/50/15
Rears 205/50/15

Bumps on freeway....fronts rub but it did that before....rears now rub on the wells...side edge of tire but I'm ok with that....

Going on bags by summer so I can ride a bit taller and then for shows and such dump it.

I also need to get some caber bolts from Garm and my buddy Cliff is gonna make me a set of camber plates forthe rears...may go at most 2 degrees all around,just enough to tuck the tires a bit.PLus I can spacer the bumper and fender out a bit like they do with 1st gen xBs....should look really good when it is done.

Also today I did a dry fit of thge new DLS componants....man they really need a lot of tuning compared to most other speakers I have used....these things sound great,but my eq settings are all off for their sound.

Very nice wheels! Yup, gotta get them tucked to look right.

big lo · 04-12-2011, 02:01 AM

Them rims look very tight B man, the stance is kewllllllll

bzinn 1 · 04-12-2011, 10:53 PM

Thanks for all the great remarks guys....honestly they ride really a lot better than the 17s I had on there before,taller sidewall really makes a differance and it still handles really well.

Had a bit of vibration on the way to work today so dropped it off at the automotive center and had them rebalance the wheels,only one was correct..lol....thats what you get for free mount and balance.

Next step,airbags,camber,and finish the interior,header,pully's,swaybar,miracle bar,and brakes....that should round out my year.

Next year...CF hood,and body kit,Vitz taillights,and headlight retro the new one Garm carries with the back lit projectors...

Hope the specs help others decide on wheels and springs....short of big dips on freeway....roads in PNW suck the car rides great.

Hot. Can't wait to see 'em at the Mt. St. Helens run!

SKurj · 04-14-2011, 05:35 PM

Mebbe I missed it..

What springs are you using?

And which wheels are they? WOnder if you went with 195's all the way around rubbing would have been a nonissue at the rear at least.

Looks good!
