The Quest to fit 10 Inch Wide Rims on the front.!

[GTOX]

Got any far away shots of the whole car, just to see it from a different perspective?

[MR2]

They fit!!









I have the same god damn issue that GTOX has with his wheels in that my 24mm wide nuts would not fit in the 23mm size holes ;(

I also believe that the lower shock mount is at the limit of it's positive camber adjustment and that the wheel is still very very negative camber so there is likely to be even more clearance with that (at the moment there is around 5mm of clearance)

also the outter dimension of the XYZ coil over is 85mm while the Tein shock one is 94mm SO that will allow even more clearance!

anyway tomorrow I'll hit supercheap or repco for some nuts and see what we end up with.

Race tires....

Be ready for front hubs to become a maintainence item with that much tire and offset. The front hubs on my DSM would last about a season before fatigue cracks would start propagating.

I always kept a spare pair on the truck. Not a bad idea for you either.

yeahhhh :| my left hand one has already started to go bad and the current wheels are only +38 (or the old ones now)

Still gotta try these rims on the back...could be more interesting!

I bought my nuts from Repco. Paid $2 each. Retail price wil be about $2.50 each. Now you understand what I was talking about hahaha. My old nuts would fit but the socket/wheel brace would not. Mine are by "Nice Products" and the part number is J332-20 for a pack of 20 [just J332 for individual nuts]

Look in the lock nuts section. I didn't buy the key for them I just bought a 12mm bit for a 1/2 breaker bar.

Although it wasn't me that had the problem with my wheels, i'm flattered you though my nuts were big :P

Post up some more pics when you fit the rears yeah, and i'm glad you haven't had any major fitment issues yet (touch wood).

So too wide of a tire can cause hubs to fail? I always thought it was the lack of proper amount of tire under the car that caused a hub to fail.

I was just playing with the 10" on front. This is my 18x9/10 set up.

this.

i don't know why so much crap is spread about hubs failing. my n/a hubs were fine (bearings and all) for 3 years of daliy use (and those were OEM to the car, 12 years old at that point). the tt-hubs i've got now are also doing just fine (swapped to 2g tt brakes).

my setup has just as much tire inside the well as stock. maybe if i went with a -60 offset or something bizarre like that, it would effect the hubs. i've yet to hear of anyone running 275's+ who has had issues with their hubs. supercar of all people would probably have been the first to chime in if this was a real issue. i don't abuse my car on a track like he does, and with 315's....i'm sure if there was a problem to be had, he would have found it.

Those are 10" that you tried up front and you put the 9" in the rear?

[Nationalmilkman]

Sorry I made that confusing. The earlier pictures I posted with the tires sticking out 1.75" were the 10" on front. I knew people had been asking what they looked like. The second set of pictures are 9s front/10s rear
