well the spacers came in....im diffently happy with the turn out

 

Very Nice. Looks good but they do look a little small slammed in the wheel well. are they 17"s? may i suggest 18" or u need a bigger sidewall imo.

 

yeah, I think you need a bigger sidewall... the rims are very nice but it looks like you're ridin' around w/out tires... jmo.

 

there 18's
and its just the way i took the pic that makes them look soo small..the are almost tuckin if you look at it different...the side wall shoulda been abit bigger but i dont have alot of room to play with

 

looks wrong to me, no surprise

 

i'd have to see it in person... vast improvement over the other wheels but the tire's are what's throwing it off for me. you could have went slightly taller and still should have had room.

either way much better, wish you luck with the potholes if you have them.

 

just a though what looks right to u?
100% factory?

 

ya i know kandie but i though it would rub...to late now..maybe in a year or so ill get 225's and it will be fine then

 

Damn dude, I have rubber bands in my desk drawer that are fatter then those tires! Do they ride rough? What width are the wheels? They look like a 7" or 7.5" right?

 

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that the wheels look good, not wide enough and the tire is a lil on the small side, but I like the wheels look!

 

there 8.5 wide
i wanted to go with 225 but i didnt think i could use them cause my 215's are like .5' from rubbin...so its close..and i didnt want 17's cause its to small still i think..but when they wear out ill try to get 225 then

 

they are plenty wide enough and the fronts are the perfect width. just wrong tire choice... no big deal. drive it a bit and sell the tires when you can afford the right ones. will imporve the looks 100 fold but it's already in the right direction.

 

thx man...ya thats my idea to...just use it for now and get new ones in ayear or so...just be really careful....im careful already so it shouldnt be to hard

 

wow do those tires look small , and you need some monster breaks under those rims.

 

I cant say I'm a fan of that style wheel, but the stance does look nice as does the rest of the car. Good stuff!!

 

gees what drop is that

 

if you've got a 1/2 foot, then I'm sure you can fit a fatter tire..

 

nice

 

word

 

are you sure that's 8.5? not doubting you but this is an 8 with 245/40/18 and it's much closer to the edge. also don't forget i'm running a strut bag up front so i have alot less room then normal.

 

Im sorry, but that is just wrong on a lot of levels. 215's? On a CAMARO? Durp!

 

hey i made you a sig slammed_z. i was bored you dont have to use it if ya dont want too but i figured what the heck

 

Yikes. I'd say the tires are too small and the wheels tuck in way too far. To mee it looks like you have the wrong size wheel on the car.

 

I think it looked better with the other wheels you had on it... And it looked even better than that with the wheels you had before them... The car looks a little too low as well.

 

Looks wrong to me too. I only run 215's on my winter steelies, though they're 215/75/15, and I think that it looks wrong on my car too. 215/rubberband/18's belong on an import and the bling sticks out like a sore thumb. Sorry dude, but you know what they say about opinions...

 

ok i still dont know why all you say it looks wrong...i bet i dont like the rims you guys all have probably..this is the style i like..i like big chrome rims...nice paint colours and air ride crazy stereo installs...and as i can tell most of you guys like the factory plain look with a big engine..so i can see why you guys dont like this look.
but to all the ppl who are giving me good feed back thanks alot

and ya kandie they only made the 18 in my bolt pattern in the 8.5 wide

and 84 camaro i love the sig..thanks alot its slick

 

then it's definately just the tires...no big deal. replace them when you can. just don't take any long road trips from home or you'll be crying when one of those thin wall tires pops and the towtruck scrapes the hell out of your car putting it on a flatbed.

 

The first part specifically that I think looks "wrong" is the total + offset rim. In my eyes, those rims belong on the Cavy in the background of your first pic.

The second part that I think looks wrong is the skinny tires stretched over the wide rims.

Those two wrongs, don't equal a right, again in my eyes. It looks like someone you knew had some rims, someone else had some spacers, and yet someone else had some tires laying around and they all come together to barely fit your ride. It looks cheap to me, and I'll bet those 18's weren't cheap by any means.

I do like aftermarket rims on these cars, just not barely fitting blingers. Bagged look is cool too, just look at Kandied's car. :hail:

 

but as i said about 3 times in the post now...i was planning on 225 but i didnt think they would fit in my wheel well..so i had to go small....but now that i see i probably can do 225..so maybe next year ill look at it......so for now its ok..personally i think it looks fine for now
and btw nothin was laying around its all 100% brand new rims,tires and adapters
i can see what you mean you dont like the offset i can tell you like the plain look more the flashy so thats cool thats your style just dont bash my style cause not everyone likes the same stuff...

 

Do you have a picture from behind? (sounds dirty doesnt it!) I think that would shed light on how these wheels actually fit on the car. It looks like they sit in too much. Dont get me wrong. the wheels are nice, its the fitment that I belive is really in question.

 

i only got those top pics in this thread with the new rims
just cause ****ty weather and all i didnt bother taken alot


oh and 84 camaro you have msn or anything cause the sig is turning out really small when i try to use it

 

hey slammed_z just put [*img*]https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/attachment.php?s=&postid=2057205[*/img*] in your sig but without the * in there

 

i tryed that but it just puts a link at the bottom of my posts

 

You can't put TGO attachments in IMG tags. You have to send him the actual picture and have it hosted somewhere.

Great car, nice rims, iffy on the stance and tires. But I understand where you're coming from.

 

I'm not bashing, just giving my opinion that they look like they were made for another car. Even a 225 is tiny on these cars. The stock 245's are even to skinny on the Iroc's and TA's in my opinion. I do like flashy... just not those. mmmmmmk?

Also, FYI, I saw 3 wheels just like yours pretty cheap on Ebay just now. (I think they were your size anyway, I didn't double check)Better go pick them up if you drive on any road with a bump thicker than a nickle. Good luck with those sidewalls! Oi!

 

Offset has nothing to do with flashy wheels and sh*t. Just where the wheels sit inside the wheelwell. Those tuck in too far in my opinion. That doesn't mean I only like a huge engine and stock looking car. That just means I like the wheels pushed farther out filling up the wells. That looks like an elephant crouching on a rollerskate in my eyes. It's a nice job though. Real clean car and done to your liking. Just not my thing. Good job and keep moding.

 

Hmmm...those are BLING BLING
That car is slammed...I thought mine was low.
Is it riding on Bags?
I like the overal look...but just not the rims :-/ But to each his own.

Tommy

PS...I don't know if I missed something, but why are you going to run 225 wide tires after these wear out? I would say atleast go with 245 or 255...I think it will give the car a more ummm...'substantial' look.

 

is it just me or does the rear of the car look a little too low? like as in maybe lower than the front.

 

upgrading from 215 to 225 will not make a day/night difference if you ask me....i have 225/45 18's in front and even if it is the stock diameter the wheel could be a bit bigger, but that would raise the ride height and we all know how that looks.......

 

I dont think the offset is wrong (the adapters corrected that). I think the FWD wheel offset and stretched tire gives it the illusion of being wrong. Looks close to stock to me. I know for fact that when the car is that low and you want to drive it you dont want the wheel flush with the fenders, and you dont want big tires. The "inset" look (stock look) gives you a little more room under the fender for suspension travel. My front wheel is a 18 but the rest of the specs (width, backspacing, offset) are as close to stock as possible. It looks very similar to his front setup, except I'm running 245/40/18 tires in the front. The car is drivable at supprisingly low heights (static heights). If I put the rear wheels on the front (9.5" with 5.5" BS, 275 tire, fits flush with the fender) I would need to raise the car at least a 1/2 inch in the front to make it drivable. Yeah the 9.5" flush with the fender looks better, but it limits the ride height. I like my car as slammed as possible.

 

i think he could run a 245/40 with no problem and it would look 100% better. just an opinion though. the rim looks as if it's sitting in the ideal location. still don't see how you drive that thing on the road with out air. what strut/shocks are you running?

 

helllo pimp my ride, lol

 

hello..

 

i only can do max 225 now that i got the rims on it...like if i stick my hand in the wheel well i can basically stick one finger on top of the tireand in between the fender..its hard to explain on her..but basically i mean its almost tuckin wheel...so basically i only have a small limit to use up front without having rubbing...i only wanna do 225 so it covers abit more of the wheels lip cause it has abit to much of one..i personally think the side wall height is fine...ive used wheel diameter calculator sites and i diffently cant go any bigger of a side wall..cause if i turned my wheel to far drivin i probably would smash up my fender

and nope no bagges for me...i have gabriel shocks in the rear and the front stockys work ok..one day ill get them replaced with better ones..and springs i got eibachs..there cut..but still rides very very well

 

i forgot to mention im not going for the stock diameter..even my 16's and 15' rims i have had never had the stock diameter...my car was lowered on 225/50/15 so i always made sure all my new rims and tires were the same as that
like my 16's were 205/50/16
and the closest for 18's were 215/35/18

 

get ur neons away from me!!!!

 

In the 3rd pic, you can see a big space between the mag and tire.
Doesnt look like the tire is leaning against the wheel ...

Really dont like the design , tho if it handles well, and ur heppy, Its all good

 

lol...they went with the car. have l.e.d now...

:lala:

 

I dont know how I drive it without air either. I honestly expect it to bottom out and scrape but it never happens. Kind of trips me out. Even going 70mph on the freeway and hitting bumps or dips, no problems. I used to scrape in those spots with the Eibach Sportlines but its no longer a problem (even though I am so much lower and still using the same struts/shocks). I'm running Koni Reds, weight jacks, 1/2 height springs with higher rates than stock and drop spindles.

 

luv your ride, but something about those tires/rims looks off.
