I really really like the look and stance of this car.

I was wondering if anyone has any information about the rims and tires or who owns the car ?.
Wondering...???
What make or model did the rims come off, if used set ?
What size are the rims?
What is the tire size , front and rear, off set ?
What is the rear rim width ?

 

Those are HRE wheels. Unless you find a used set, look at spending a minimum of $5k for the set.

 

WOW...the suck's BIG TiME...my car is not worth that
What do you think he is running in the rear...and how wide is that rim..??
What's the closest chi-knee knock off to that rim..??

 

They may be HRE but there are a lot of wheel companies that make very similar wheels. They probably 18x9 front and 18x10 rear.

Those look badass, especially with the Brembos.

 

It does have a mean stance.

 

Those are indeed HRE wheels. That car in the picture was wrecked and he transferred everything over to his new car.

Car belongs to member Zach/90\irocZ.

 

That looks really nice.

 

more than nice

 

I'm a bit late, but those aren't HRE's. Those are XXR 521's, a bit more affordable variant.

 

There are HRE
I had xxr 521 and 531 also
One on my sig are 521
HRE where 19x10.5 and 19x9.5 where spec out for a M3 from guy I traded apex arc 8


White car had a engine fire then I acquired the black one as ol lady said I couldn't repairs it so made a deal I wouldn't only if I got another one lol which wasn't my intentions but that's another storie

 

What does that even mean? "Looking at the car and neighborhood"? Talk about a dipshit comment

 

Original post edited. Wording came out sounding harsh and that was not the intent.

 

Is it possible to fit a 10.5 on the rear with no mod's to the car ..??

 

Largest rear wheel and tire with out anything major is 11 on 295 from my experience

Yes it's possible on 10.5

 

Zach,
Exactly what sizes, offsets & tires are you running on the black car?
I always liked the combination.

 

I'm running 17x11's rear with 315's with a 4th gen rear. Wheels are c4 zr1 though.

 

The rear was around 25 for offset and front also around 20 something

19x9.5 front 19x10.5 rear
265 front on 35 and 275 rear on 35

Tire combo is taller then stock but IMO fills out the wheel well a lot better

 

Thanks, they definitely look good on there.

 

looks good.!!

BUT

Aren't 4th gen rears shorter in length than a 3rd gen..??, that would allow you to run 11's without mod's.

 

That's a killer look, did you also use lowering springs ? if so how much ?


Have you got a couple of pic's you can post, maybe some of the rear...??
Thanks

 

Ground control aka weight jacks about 400ish iirc

Let me see if I do not sure

 

weight jacks...????...what are those.?

And do a search on forum easy to find info

 

Very Cool, sucks though, I would have bought a set if I knew before I bought my lowering springs.

 

Nothing wrong sell your springs buy weight jack

 

Last year when I started my LS mod I bought the UMI rear coilovers but am having second thoughts I think I'd rather have the Ground control kit. I haven't driven the car yet with the coilovers but since I want to do the front end also I don't know. Sell the coilovers and buy Ground control... HMMM

 

UMI uses Viking. They are a spin-off of QA1 - both MN companies, hence the Viking name.
Rear coil-overs make sense. You're not going to vary the rear-end that much, so weight jacks could be overkill for the amount of height adjustment on the rear. You do need the plates up top for the coil-overs. Spohn offers QA1 and UMI offers Viking - same kit, basically. I don't know the Viking model #, but I had Spohn's QA1 so I researched QA1 specs:
Manufacturer Model # Range Collapsed Extended Standard Spring Rate Spring Height
QA1
DS703 16" 13" 19.5" #175 12"
DS603 15.25" 12.5" 18.75" #175 12"
DS503 13.25" 12"
Jri 14" 12" 17" #275
RideTech HQ6110 14" 11.34" 16.5" #200 12"
AFCO 3860PTCZ 14.4" 12.18" 18.08 12-14"
Detroit Speed offers the JRI's - too $$$.
I went with RideTech #250 and I'm very happy. Made by Fox with Hyperco springs. Make sure you know the intended range before you buy, coil-overs give only a little adjustment, not inches, plural.
I do have WJ's up front.

 

4th gen's are actually about 3-4" longer requiring more backspace. I'm running almost 8" of bs.

 

While working on rust repair in the wheel well I made the final decision on the front springs, I'm going to use the Ground Control kit with Koni's. I don't care how you look at it I do not believe that thin 20 gage sheet metal can reliably support the front end of the car for street abuse. Looking at the spot welds anywhere from 1" to 2" apart in light gage sheet metal is a recipe for a disaster so the coil over kit on the front end is out. The UMI coil over kit on the rear will stay unless I find it is not working for me.

 

Good choice on the front - don't recommend coil-overs. I did however, use the coil-over plate as insurance:


As long as you stay within the range on those Vikings, you'll be fine. I'm lowered (reason for the WJ's), so I needed to match the intended range. That's why I got rid of the QA1's. Plus, the Fox shocks are better, IMO.
