Title: Rimzzzzzz<3
Post by: Church on February 23, 2011, 06:37:48 pm
Looking to purchase 18x10 with a +20 Offset for the rear and 18x9 with +20 Offset as well! Just wondering what I'd have to do to make them fit other then installing spacers/adapters. Feel free to smack down some jokes.. ;)

Would pretty much be a mandatory requirement to fit the spacers/adapters to a car   ;D

offset isn't enough.  Those wheels are going to stick way out.  You'll have to put on a fender kit to widen your body (the car not you).

You'll also need a coil over kit for the rear.

What car are those wheels you have listed for?

They're supposed to be for a 350Z, I am aware that I'd need a bore adapter as well with the spacers/adapters. Would you mind linking me to a fender kit and the rear coil over kit? It would be much appreciated.

Thanks so much for the quick reply as well! Greatly appreciated!  :)

Small diameter coil-overs are largely a DIY project - have a look at this link for a taste of what's involved: How to make rear coil-overs using factory struts, with pics. (http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/046456.html)

I think you'll find that flared fenders are largely a DIY project as well, but don't quote me on that.

You are probably better off with different rims. It's going to be alot of work to make them fit.

Any links for Fender Flares?  :)

You can try doing a search on PFF.  I'll do a quick one.

Also check out this thread:

That should get you started.  Not sure who the IMSA manufacturer is but that's a good place to start looking.

Good Luck.

Thanks a lot :D I think I'll wait for some used IMSA rear fenders to pop up on PFF!
