Sportmaxx 513's!

[mr_miles]

going to go look at a set of Sportmaxx 513's with a 0 offset either tomorrow or Sunday. Going to be trading him the stockers and hopefully a DSI for them, lol. Praying I don't need a spacer. hopefully i'll have some new pictures up soon with some new shoes! I think they're going to look super good.

Has a link.

Whats the wheel width?
If its an 8+0 then you will NOT need a spacer of any kind.
Will need a pull, roll and camber on front and rear if you want to go any kind of low. Exp with that size tire.

[mr_miles]

they are 16x8. i'm all stock right now, so i wont have to worry about fenders. When I get the KIDO's from garm i'll worry about pulling fenders then. I expected that to be needed. might be fiberglassin' some flares instead, though. already have the general shape done in expanding foam, lol.

I'd say save your cash, and wait for a set of wheels that will be more practical. Nothing worse than a set of wheels that won't fit without heavy modification. Fenders pulled(money), fenders rolled(money)negitave camber(money),and a gang of rubbing(a pain in da arse) is not worth the trouble. Better off getting some wheels that fit(16x7 35-45 offset) or get some flares and not have to worry about camber. Do whatcha like, but I'm just saying...

[wildmongoose26]

16x8+0 is serious bodywork in the rear.
Thats what i'm running in the rear. Have 3 degrees camber, pulled and rolled fenders and they actually did a mini widebody on the rear to make it fit and i still rub on some dips.

I really need to get a picture next to a stock fendered yaris for comparison. It is 1.75" wider then factory. Part of the problem is since its not IRS the wheels do not camber in more when you hit a bump. so you have to have clearance straight up from where your at.

[mr_miles]

i was prepared for that, good news is i have access to a fender roller :D
Bad news is the guy bailed on me. went all the way out there to meet him and he didn't show. Kind of upsetting, lol.

[wildmongoose26]

Trust me. YOu need more then a roller. Also kinda depends on what body style you have and how many doors. If your a 4 door your in for a world of fun! IF its a 2 door your still in for a world of fun, just a little less fun.

[mr_miles]

I have a two door. I know i'd need more than just a roller, but I'm up for a challenge. the wheels i wish i had, i found in 15x9 in the rear, - 15. So wont be getting those. the front at 15x8 -5 would fit a little better, lol.




it would look awfully sexy, though.

[wildmongoose26]

What wheels is it you wish you had?

[bzinn 1]

I say wait for better wheels.....16x8 on those is heavy for our car.....plus those will need rolled and rounded out fenders,camber,and right drop to look good....

The fronts gonna be a bit wide looking if you ask me,kinda poke out too much in front looks weird,backs you can do it to an extent and get away with it...but fronts will look weird.....maybe a 15 offset in front would look better.

[mr_miles]

lol, i've always wanted Rota Aleica's. I'm not really sure what i'm going to get now, the guy who had the buddy club QF (11 pounds each) forged never responds to my texts, the sportmaxx kid bailed, and the Aleica's are never in the right size, and they're heavy... i found 15x9 +10. thats pushin' it. if they were 15x8's i'd probably do it. i still might just say screw it and buy them. Make it work. I would have to finish the flares at that point. Wheels aren't that high on my list right now anyways, taxes aren't here and they wouldn't get fitted till spring. hell, i'd roll the aleicas in a +30 offset, they would tuck in pretty close then.

Wow you are gonna need some crazy camber. You know these wheels brand new on ebay are like 450 bucks

[mr_miles]

indeed. the guy text me this morning, guess the other guy decided not to buy them. debating looking and test fitting, and offering him less with them on my car lol.

Nice negotiation tactics.

[mr_miles]

Lol. He never told me where he worked. got as far as what exit to take off the hwy, that was it. Think he forgot that i need the rest. Or even an address, gps does wonderful things with addresses.

why dont you go witha 15 in that size would be easier to fit.
