Achieved!



No more rubbing!




New Owner! I think they look AWESOME on this color car...








So long Type A's... We had our time, it was fun...

[WillisE30]

I've never been a huge fan of your car, but I'll be the first to admit it looked pretty good. Sad to see those stockers on there and the bumper hangin' like that.

[vlad]

I didn't know you were selling type As, I would be interested...

you need to get the new front lip and fix the bumper. I think the new rims look 10 times worse than what you had before. You need deep dish with that slam look

[regnu]

Erik you are officially off my x-mas card list.

Why why why?

There had better be new pimper rims in your near future.

[MikeK]

ew.

[Erik]

Welllllll, it's not JUST the bumper anymore. This is one of the main reasons I wanted to sell them. I've got plans, oh trust me, I've got plans... Pimper, Wider, BIGGER, shinier wheels... Fresh Paint w/extensive continued body work... and FIXING this... :'(




Yes it doesn't look that bad, and it isn't. However, the rad support is slightly bent and I straightened it a little with the "strapped to the telephone pole" method, but I want to get a shop to look at it and maybe fix it more...

[Lof8]

It looked a lot meaner rockin the 9's, but I realize this is just temporary. bigger and wider?? You're nuts. :pimp: Thanks again for use of the roller.

[regnu]

MY EYES.... ouch.. at least you have more airflow to the engine bay now.

[Erik]

Hahah exactly, if only I was turbo'd, it would be my "cold air intake" ;)

[wagonizzle]

Wow man, your ride is DUMPED. Unfortunately, the new owner's car is not and it looks goofy. I think these wheels can only be pulled off on something that is very low. Thanks for posting the shot down the side of the car; you can really see how much the fenders need to be flared for wide wheels. Good luck on your resto -

wider BBS RS or ban!!

New owner needs proper wash wax, plus get rid of blue headlights

Well the thing about that is, I actually ran 15mm spacers with the wheels so they came out to be 16x9 et0. If you ask Jay (Mystikal) about running that sized wheel with that offset, he will laugh at you and you will hear it over the internetz.

I also just like the look of the flared fenders.

wider BBS RS or ban!!

I would LOVE to get my hands on some 17x9 17x10 RSs like you don't even know, but the chances of finding them in the right size and offset to adapt to would be VERY SLIM, most likely none at all. I'm definitely going to get 17s down the road, and I have a specific idea already. We'll see if I can do it...

At least your Ass appreciates them :). Rides so much smoother I bet

I agree 17s look best most of the time, but have you thought about the ESM 16x9 RS replicas?

YES! That's absolutely true. Since the outside diameter of the 195/65/14 is about 1" taller than the 205/45/16 it's also sits that much higher and I haven't been hitting things I usually hit (speed bumps, the ground, driveways, etc.)

Mehh, I can't do 16s again... All I'm going to say about what wheels I'm looking at is ZiMMie was my biggest inspiration.

[4ce30]

haha kt1s in 17x9 & 10?
