Had some 15x11s made
In stupid exocet offsets... so now I have wheels of the proper size that actually fit. 13.9#
0 (F) and -38 (R) https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...3c&oe=5BCB0AC1 https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...0c&oe=5BDC2E70 https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...90&oe=5BE2DAD0 A whopping 4.4#/corner lighter then the stance bro wheels I had on before, and wider. |
Holy hell...
I'm not a huge stance fan, but I really want to see these on the car. That's an astonishing weight for such a huge wheel. |

How much more would 12's have been?
|
The front and rear are the same weight even though they have different offsets? That's a serious question. I've been told that it would impact weight.

Jesus fuck. Thats gonna look beeeeeefy

You can either machine the hub or mount the whole center in a different location to change offset. If the weight is the same then most likely the center was located differently in the barrell.

Isn't the offset is changed by machining/leaving different amounts of center material on cast/one piece wheels? That would change the weight. Maybe not so much of a factor for 2/3 piece wheels where you can choose the width of the lip/barrel etc to get the desired offset? Just speculating tho...

Beautiful wheels! How much and can you please show a pic of the rear frame clearance?

I maintain my earlier criticism that these are stance wheels.
And I moderate it by saying that, despite this, that's a gorgeous implementation. + :likecat: |
If you have that much power, and you don't have to worry about fender clearance, and you are making custom wheels, why did you go with 15 inch? I'd figure a taller wheel/tire combo would give even more rubber on the road, and also help with gearing.

Edit: I also do run fenders. They're not installed currently as I have to rework the mount to fit the new front wheel offset. Second edit: Here's how comical this car looks on 26" tires (10.7@137 that day) https://scontent-mia3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...fe&oe=5C2C34E5 |
They aren't wide enough, but they get most of the rocks. I need about 3 more inches
