DARIN 510 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Came across the web site kyusha kia And thought that I should post this.they are 9 in. Wide don't know the offset but its definitely low. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5065/5551675309_dbdbed8caa_o.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5256/5551675311_0dff6b4954_o.jpg Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Hmmm. Wide is nice but at the expense of camber/tuck problems? no. IMHO (and it's only an opinion) A properly set up rear suspension with fitted wheels... now that's sexy. That set up is going to grind the tires away in a few thousand miles not to mention the reduces handling and safety. Trying for a certain 'look' at the expense of utility is wrong headed.

ggzilla Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 You can go 10s with a lot of tire stretch. Assuming the wheels have an appropriate offset (or use spacers). It is driveable. Or you could jack up the 510 use stiff springs and let the tires hang out of the fenders. That is drivable ... and laughable. Quote Link to comment

Rustina 510 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 i have 16x9's on my car and it is drivable i love that car Yeah but your fenders are boxed and that gives a crapload more room than normal Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 You can go 10s with a lot of tire stretch. Assuming the wheels have an appropriate offset (or use spacers). It is driveable... and laughable. fixed.... imho (just like mike said its an opinion) stretching is dumb. if u have to put a tire too small for the rim to put a wheel too big for the car to make it fit, y cant u just put on a proper setup. i admit the black 520 looks killer... looks, but will eat tires and could use an 8 inch wheel with proper offset and wood look even better i bet. wow this shit looks so cool Quote Link to comment
510-GUY Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I'm running 15x9 0 offset on my dime with just a hard roll on the fenders and I'm using a 10mm spacer in the front with 280zx struts so I would do 15x9 +6 in the front if u can order them that way! Quote Link to comment

works510 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 First pic is how it sits, still have to finish sanding the bondo back for a nice finish. wheel is 15x8 -4offset with a massive 195/60 tyre. It doesnt rub anywhere under full A-arm movement. Second pic is what we did to the rear door jams. basically slit it, beat the parts back together so they folded over each other, then welded. The whole 1/4 has been flaired slightly, so it still a standardish look. Its alot of work, and heap more than we thought. Also would be alot easier if you were good with body work, we arent :P Did some rust repairs while we were there, hence the large whole, welded in some metal later on. 1 Quote Link to comment
