Boosted 8th switching over to the 9th

[ripply]

i love my Si... but i miss Kimber too. Ill get my new car Khaleesi to look as good as I had my 8th gen.

OMG now I remember this car. Very nice and clean! I had no idea it was boosted thoug!!

You'll get your fb6 to look as good if not even better. It's a bummer to start from the bottom again, but building another car to your own personal liking is very satisfying at the end because not many people have that look/idea. Its a big reason of why I left the 8th community as well.

you know any of the specs for the wheels you picked up?

 

[ripply]

I sure do now. They are 17x7 +43 MB Weapons

 

[Khaleesi]

Thanks! And couldn't agree more. Thinking I will keep the Hot Pink color. That's how people knew me. Lmao

 

[ripply]

Well a little update. I went ahead and placed an order for the hot side of my turbo kit. Cut a deal on manifold, downpipe, dump tube with makspeed. Should be getting it sometime next week

 

[ripply]

Well here are the last of the major boost goodies. Thinking of ordering a full HFP lip kit next

Nice man

Got some meats today 18x9.75+20. Only $300 for wheels and brand new tires lol

 

[BlakeFG3]

what size are the tires?

 

[ripply]

The tires on the wheel are 225/45/18. I'll be taking them off and putting 245/40 instead

18x9.75 +20?? I like the aggressiveness, I personally just bought 17x10 +20 for the rear and 17x9 +20 for my front..should be fun to fit the rear

Let me know how you are able to fit them. And how it looks. I still haven't put mine on the car because I need lug nuts and beefier tires. 225/45 is not an appropriate size for that wide of a wheel.

I will do, I am running a 205/40 on the 17x9 and stepped it up to a 215/40 for the 17x10...Rear is the easiest to fit with some stretched tires and some camber around -5...but didn't want to run x10 in the front due to the lack of ability to turn without worrying about ripping my fenders apart lol

See I thought the rear will be harder to fit :/. I just got new tires for them. Waiting on the luch nuts to arive and then I will be putting them on the car. Hopefully I don't have to do much. I think the majority of the wheel gap will be gone though

Are those enkei center caps on XXR wheels? sneaky.... hahaha

 

[ripply]

You bet :facepalm:

 

[Nix]

hahaha the xxr "barrel" centers are super ugly on those though. I don't blame you for running different ones. Plus, I know you got them used so the other guy probably did it. hahaha

I've seen someone on here run a 17x10 +18 and they said it fit perfect on a wider tire, so my 215/40 should be good, right now I am on stock 16s with the stock tires which are 205/55r16s and I have about 1 finger gap in the front and 2 in the rear, hoping to have a wheel lip to fender when i throw the 17s on

I was hoping the stock center caps would fit, but it appears they are slightly bigger . Looks like I have to make my own or buy the xxr center caps.

I think with the 215/40 and a drop you will be fine. Here's how my car looks with 245/40's. I'm thinking of keeping it this height and just adding maybe -1* camber up front and maybe -2* in the rear so I can tuck the wheels in.

Speaking of camber.. Anyone know the max camber I can get from the stock suspension?
That rear end poke though

stock suspension doesn't have camber adjustments. You need camber bolts up front and camber arms in the rear to adjust it.
