docwra Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I actually got the price wrong those other miesters were £450 not £650 They are also the 2 piece Meisters, not the considerably more desirable 3 piece (proper split rims) That said, £450 is pretty cheap, youd probably be able to punt them on for something approaching that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentsmith350 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 I actually got the price wrong those other miesters were £450 not £650 Didn't you get them for your B/Day Ah no , I had considered that but without knowing if they would fit / were worth it I didn't like to suggest it.

Freebird Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 et40 is a very very weak offset lol. I do love the SP1's though. Such an annoyance that proper wheels are so insanely expensive. Im not a member of SXOC so couldnt see the wheels linked, but i did read that they are 12" wide. Which makes me want to see them haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Right, these are decent wheels ............. If youve got £2K on the hip, spend another £100 on arch rolling and these would look awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 ooh they are nice arent they and that is a nice S14, well i have an arch roller....just not 2k spare for awesome JDM man wheels *cries* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentsmith350 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 I dont fancy rolling the arches , Even then iv read of people having to have them pulled to fit 12's at the back , havnt even considered the front yet either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 ooh they are nice arent they and that is a nice S14, well i have an arch roller....just not 2k spare for awesome JDM man wheels *cries* It has a Procharged LS2 in it as well, running a tickle over 650HP and a bit more torque. Ive driven it, I imagine riding a sidewinder missile like a horse is probably slightly less exilhirating and scary experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentsmith350 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Using the online calc says id have 16mm less clearence inside so would need 20mm spacers or something pushing the wheel out even more and had a read up on my350z , apparently no chance without pulling fenders , FFS back to the hunt Although it would look all kind off awsome : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Would a roll actually make 12's fit or still need pulled ? Using the online calc says id have 16mm less clearence inside so would need 20mm spacers or something pushing the wheel out even more You are assuming you dont have 16mm of clearance already there though, you probably do. No man can 100% categorically say what will fit and what wont, I can give you advice based on personal experience but things like tyre wall profile, suspension camber, degree of loweredness (new word, woo!) can all make a difference. Examples though: 18x12 ET0 with 275/35 tyre, running 3.25 degs camber: 18x11 ET 0 with 245/40 tyre, standard camber: 18x10 ET -13 with a 275/35, standard camber and arches almost certainly only rolled: Back on the first page youve got mine as well, 10J ET15 with 255/35 tyre IIRC, standard camber, no archwork at all.

spursmaddave Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 All depends on your definition of awesome... I think the Zeds in those pictures looks pretty much undriveable which isn't really very awesome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got one that looks like that too and for me it handles nearly as well as it did on standard Rays, its certainly not undriveable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Noooo now you have me looking into arch work , If i go to that i would go the full monty and dont want to be spending that kind of money to get some pointy out wheels Realisticly i want about 4" Dish and sitting flush to the arch but after 4 days of trauling the internet iv came up with nothing , i understand offsets a little now and at this point would look at other types of wheels than the ssr's ect but still really struggling , If your mates wheels would fit with a roll id look into it but cant work out why its so hard to simply find a dished wheel with the right offset to fit flush. Current wheels are : Front Size: 18x8.0 Offset: +30mm Tire: 225/45/18 Rear Size: 18x8.5 Offset: +33mm Tire: 245/45/18 so in the mindset of 30mm spacers at the back and 25 front begin the most i can go to without rubbing i should be looking for this right ? Front Size: 18x8.0 Offset: +5 Tire: 225/45/18 Rear Size: 18x8.5 Offset: +3mm Tire: 245/45/18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben@RARE RIMS Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Please excuse the ride height here... 18x12 ET20 rear, 18x9.5 ET12 front I believe Standard arches there is memory serves, 285 rear and 245 front roughly on the tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
