I'm going to roll the rear fenders a little for insurance. The tires are still slippery, but the amount of grip is already :eek5: |
:bowdown: drool.

That's a clean ass sunburst you got there....oh yea bad ass wheels too, but I thought all of the 9" wide 6ul's required a lot of pulling and rolling.

1.07/1.06 L/R is what I hit the night before in "skidpad" form at a parking lot the night before. |

Oh sexy! So the 225/50/15s don't fit?
|
Looks nice. I want me some 15x9's... More pics are needed though.
|
That bronze is sick.

I can speak definitively, but it would be really close, especially in the rear. Then again, a reasonable ride height might allow them to fit. |
bronze 9" wide wheels, how I love thee.
|
I really like the look and am contemplating the 9s on my 96....I know I am going to have to roll the fender(no biggie) but I hope I don't have to pull the fender....
|
huge. We need some front and rear track (as in rubber width to car comparison) shots!
|
I'll take another rear shot soon. All the pics I have tuned out really dark:

Hey Patrick,
I just sent you an email since I can't send PMs here yet :giggle: Later, Jason |
When Emilio comes out with the 15X9 in gunmetal, my 17X7.5 SSR comps are history. I really need new tires but am going to nurse them through the fall hoping the new wheels are available by spring.
|
Do WANT!!!!
I know what i'll be saving up for... |
That looks sick.. can't wait til i get some 15x8's
|
Assuming this is a street driven car, what's the advantage of the 15X9 compared to the 15X8? What's the widest street tire? 225?
They look awesome, makes me re-think my want of the nickle 6UL. Those would look totally bad ass on a black car. |

I'm just hedging my bets. If a 245 street tire comes out, I'm covered. Likewise if I want to run a 275 in the future. If not I'm stuck with a little stretch. I do come from a Euro background, afterall. :giggle: |
seeing this car in person, I have the say the bronze wheels look absolutely amazing

I have been running 225/50 15's on my rear 15x8 Panasports for years, but I might look at 225/45's next time I need tires.
|
I've got 225/45/15 RS2s on the 15x9 now. I rolled the fender lips but didn't pull. I get zero rub. Did you see Emilio's post over on m.net? He says the 225/45/15 R1R is actually closer to a 245

Maybe later this week, I've got some other crap to figure out. And the car is covered in bird crap, bug guts, and brake dust.

then i was gonna paint them gold (where the green is) but then emmi (cr.net) said "they look like spun mesh wheels" got me thinking twice...so ima just go all gold with no polished lip..like this http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheel...gold_ci3_l.jpg |
wow...bronze was always my favorite color of wheels, but this is just pure sex
|
p.s pschmidt....i didnt mean to thread jack you
|
|
love the bronze on silver
|
225 50's fit you just cant be lowered a shit ton even then it would still work. i wanna fit more like 245's on mine. Moo traction ftw
|
dam i love all the wide wheels on here. can anybody here weigh the wheels and tire combo????? i would like to know how much they weigh.. also on the NA how low is the ride hight and are they X8 or X9 and how wide can you go?? maybe ill sell my volks and get some enki 16x8 with some 245/35/16 or do the 15x8 UL i love the nickel.
|
no idea how much my tires weigh but the 15x9 6uls are 13.4 lbs. I'm using 225/45/15 rs2 tires. I'm at about 11.8F and 12.3R ride height if I remember correctly. My fender lips are rolled (not flat) and not pulled. I don't rub the fenders at all, but I do just nick the passenger side intercooler pipe at full lock in a parking lot.
|
Arrrgh. Fucking nickel 9s look so god damn good.
I'm holding out for anthracite, though. |
