As my swap comes to a end and finish small details

As you guys may know or seen is that I get bored easy with my wheels and haven't fully like a set of wheels fully . So decided to start saving for some custom ones probably issforged or something after I deploy. But in the mean time have bartered different sets of wheels

The 19s would fit perfectly and be easier but I'm biased towards 18s and I'm not fully sold on19 inch wheels I like more tire

I got the chromium black

How setup looks

Have you found the 18x11's in 5x120? I've only seen them in 5x114 in that size.

Re drilled

Have a close retired military friend that does machine work for me mainly wheels

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

I have 2 sets of adapters that go to 114.3

The selection of wheels are more available and easier to sell or barter that bolt pattern , especially out here in cali

I'm wondering about the 55lbs that a set of 9.5" with the 275-35-18s weight - ouch...

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

Lol yea Paul but not to worried about that to much , been looking for track wheels for little events here and there but that's not priority right now and isn't a track only car so I keep that I mind

My xxr 521 where about the same weight and have no major complaints

The gain in width and larger tires and improved responsiveness feel and extra grip is worth it in my books for a daily driver

But you make a valid point

I believe stock wheels "iroc" weigh in about 22-24 lbs iirc with out tires

That was my exact problem. My IROC probably went through 10 diffrent set of wheels till I bought my CCWs. Take your time selecting and everytime you look at it you will say "Damn it looks so good".

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

Lol been searching for couple years now lol but been having funny trading and trying new wheels

CharcoalBird

iTrader: (4)

I don't think I have seen all the wheels you have had on your car. Post pictures!

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

XXR 521 18x10

Budnik Gasser 18x8/18x10

Irocs 16x8

Varrestoen ES2 18x9.5/18x10.5


also had Vossen CV5 ,that i tried out that a friend had lying around really like them would look killer with brembos on front and rear they where 20" but im kinda bias to 18" size dont have pics but look like this


also had bbs reps kinda like the the XXR 521 18x10.5 all around no pics of those as they look similar to the XXRs

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

I had some steel wheels also when i first got the car but i wont post pics of that lol

Ideally i would like a retro iroc style wheel concave with lip 18x10 all around using a step lip

Was thinking of getting 18" irocs and widening them to 9.5 and do stock like color using gunmetal for the color with machined finish

iTrader: (6)

can't get any good side shots due to guy park next to me but here you guys go

Damn they are nice only if they werent double bolt pattern they would look alot better.

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

Thanks , I agree with you no doubt , just experimenting with different styles , nothing have been set in stone in the wheel department for awhile ,

been saving for real set of wheels either ccw, rotiform, and I like one style from adv1 the list was alot longer lol
Just waiting after deployment...

dannyboyemt

I think they do that to make them lighter. At least thats what i heard from CCW. They look great Zach.

B4CHawk

That's sick dude!

also; tell me more about your brake kit

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

Regular brembo brake upgrade

What exactly you want to know ?

B4CHawk

Did you put it together or get it from a vendor? I had been looking at these wheels for a while but the fact that they don't make them in 5x120 turned me off... it never occurred to me to redrill them.

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

I put it together myself I just bought the brackets

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

What brake upgrade do you want ?

I kept on searching and always on Craigslist and eBay and other forum classifieds and scored a deal got both calipers forward under 200 if I remember all I did was painted and got new rotors and pads I probably have less than 400-500 into everything , I just gathered here and there only think I hot was hubs and bracket

Wow, these wheels, your car, amazing. I'm looking to go 18's as well and would like all 4 corners to be the same for ease of tire rotation and buying sets of 4 rather than 2 and 2. Anyway, thanks for the great pictures. Looks like 18x9.5 is what I'll end up going with, stretched tires and rolling the fenders. Can I get a shot with the car on the move? Would like to see the suspension travel and how the wheels tuck when the suspension is working. Or maybe tighter pictures of the fender to tire gap. Thanks a lot.

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

Don't need to roll fender for 9.5 fits well within fender

I would recommend 19x10 setup as it comes in 5x120 pattern and would be simple setup

I H8 WWD

iTrader: (5)

I'm looking into extended a-arms and will try and match the spacing in the rear. A differential swap may change this. Thanks for the info. I know 9.5" fit fine, but I don't like the lip in the fender, nor do I like bubble tires. You may be thinking of 'pulling' the fender, I'm just looking to 'roll' that lip up, not pull it out for clearance. Going for the "Hella Flush" look, just not so much like the "Hella Flush" style you see when searching those words. I just want the tire to just miss the fender during travel into the fender well. Thanks again for the info. 19's may be going to the bigger side of things. I was thinking 17's in the beginning. 18's are right there in the middle.

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

I'm very aware of what you going for

Honestly extended a arms would be custom suspension route and the amount of money you would invest since there's no over the counter a arm like that is just waste time and money ,

Upgrading your brakes to ls1 setup pushes out front about .3"
A brembo setup and 1le hub pushes front out about .6"
And that matches the rear width but not exactly

Your better off just getting custom wheel adapters to exactly what you want

Search xxr 521 there a member that posted xxr 521 18x10 setup that was pretty flush and looks good

I think a 18x10 setup would look far better for what you going for than a 9.5 to get the look you want you going to need a narrow tire like 235 or 245 the narrower the wheel the even more narrow the tire needs to be , hence why all the Stanced imports are running at least a 10" wide wheel unless your a civic , and it's going to look more like a low rider with 13" spokes than any thing else which is really distasteful on a larger car ,
That's my opinion
but it's up to you

My sig pic are 18x10 285/35

He is running same wheels but with 235/45 iirc

Thanks.

hey man sorry to bring up an old thread but i just got the xxr 531 19x10 et15 for the iroc but the centerbore is definitely the wrong size. did you use spacers? if so, how thick? thanks man

91rsTexas

erocz

ok cool ill pass on the ones with the rings. so do only the front ones need spacers because of the front hub, right?

Zach/90\irocZ

iTrader: (6)

yea old and sold these wheels to another member on this thread which he has more pics iirc there 18x11 I had got and if I'm not mistaken all center bores on xxr wheels are the same iirc 73. something I could be wrong for rears I redrilled to thirdgen pattern and they fit I need to look up old notes I have and verify but I don't remember enlarging center bore

that's odd all my spacers ebay and custom where lug and hub centric iirc there are some that don't fit but you have to buy one specific to our cars

and you need to research adapter size is based on your wheel specs and how much tuck or how flush you want wheels to be over the years acquired a assortment of adapters lol
