Bought Some New Shoes

[SVOFANATIC]

I bought some new shoes tell me what you think.
















Anyways

Here are the Shoes I'm buying for the SHO



17x8 Spending $780 for rims and tires I love when stuff is on sale.

Tires are Dural SDL's




Tell me what you think. Offset is +42 will they fit? I've read that +42 is close with 8in rims but will fit am I correct on this?

I'm going to go ahead and wager a no.

Well we will see monday or tuesday. There isn't anything on that thread that says 8in and +42 won't fit. I saw a thread with +42 and 8in rims fitting with just a tiny bit to spare.

You may have to roll the rear fenders or even run a spacer. If your car has saggy ass syndrom, well then.good luck.

 

[SVOFANATIC]

Yes my car has SAS my brother has a fender roller which I will be borrowing.

Here's a 7.5" wheel with 42 offset.

So how big of a spacer do I need? 3mm 5mm? what?

 

[St Louis SHO]

1/2 Inch it looks like

 

[SVOFANATIC]

So 13mm then great.

 

[St Louis SHO]

I wouldnt buy shit until you get the wheels. DO NOT MOUNT the tires. try mounting a wheel to the car first to check clearance. It might be fine. Never know...

 

[SVOFANATIC]

There getting shipped to tire kingdom I'll get one of them put on the rear first before it's mounted. After you drop the car on the ground though won't the rim get closer to the strut?

I run 18 x 8 with a 40 mm offset, and mine dont seem as close as those in that pic. Might be because of the rear 92 hubs? I dunno. Had to trim the fender tho.

 

[SVOFANATIC]

2mm is verrrrrry little difference. like .1 of an inch or so if that. I hope I don't have to get spacers.

It won't get closer to the strut body - they are in fixed positions relative to each other - unless you have a really bad wheel bearing or something.

That's because I'm working on the SHO every single day. lol

OH duh sorry I'm tired lol.

 

[Eric VerValin]

Well my rears have vented rotors.. and I think they are different PN's for the wheel bearings / hubs..

 

[SVOFANATIC]

Well they fit without spacers they are very close in the rear though.

And all you nay sayers such it lol.
