your car will be 40mm wider :)

and IMO will look a lot better, bring those wheels out to the fenders, no more sunken battleship status

Ah, sounds good then. Let me find a pic of the wheel I'm referencing.

33OH · 05-20-2009, 03:12 PM

Different, but it's what came in my head when I saw it.

Tamago · 05-20-2009, 03:14 PM

the RAYS wheel is closer to the scion wheel than the team dynamics is..

5 spokes
vs 7 spokes
vs 12 spokes

wait.. scion + ggames = team dynamics!

33OH · 05-20-2009, 03:16 PM

Yeah I know, it's just what popped in my head when I saw it.

Those wheels are an awesome price for what they are, I just love the Rewind styling.

I'll get the +20 offset though now, thanks a ton.

I still want a 195/50/15 though.

you WILL have to add camber if you want to run a +20, so go ahead and order those camber bolts.

if you have access to a bench grinder, you can modify a set of washers rather easily. just make sure to buy stainless.

if you end up going +40 rewinds, remember, hub spacers are available! ;)

IF the reason you are changing wheels is because of your Long comute you should also consider that the 195/50 tires will change a bit the OE gearing ratio. You will be cruising at higher revs than you normally do and fuel economy might got hurt.

That is IF Fuel economy over your comute is a concern... If not you might actually enjoy the shorter ratio....

4.5% increase in rev's @ any given actual speed (not indicated, of course)

Ahh, good thinking.

Yes, I am concerned about fuel economy.

And thanks again Tamago.

Do you need camber bolts for the front and back?

And I'll just buy a set of washers from you, isn't that what you were suggesting? ($8 shipped for enough to add -3)

no, camber bolts for front only, washers for rear.

you'll want to install both at your local alignment shop. i suggest not mentioning what you're doing to the service writer, and wandering over to the alignment tech, slip him $10 and ask him to install them

33OH · 05-20-2009, 03:32 PM

Do you know of any DIY's or pictures of the process? I'd want to do it myself to learn what I'm doing.

it will be identical to the hub spacer diy.

Tamago · 05-20-2009, 04:27 PM

he's already not going to spend $109 each lol

Tamago · 05-20-2009, 04:48 PM

still interested in washers? i was about to grind some down before i left the shop

33OH · 05-20-2009, 04:50 PM

Grind them down at your convenience and shoot me a PM for my paypal. I'm not ordering the new wheels until I get these other ones sold, so doesn't have to be today or anything.
