16" Wed Sport SA90's w/tires

well like the topic says, 16 inch wed sport SA90's with Kumho Esta AST tires with about 95% trend left.
its 205/40/16
4x100
+36 offset
hes sellin them for $800
16 inch ones are discontinued, at least i couldnt find any, what do u guys think? should i go for it? would they fit?? would they rub?
heres what they look like

Go for it! If it rubs, just roll your fender.

yea id probably do that but well see, he said i can try them on and see how they look, if i like ill take em but the only thing is the offset im worried bout, i searched around and see it has a 36 offset, would that be ok?

+36 is still good.

aight cool, lets see how it goes
another thing is how you notice the car slanting backwards when you have 4 or 5 people in the car. I might wanna drop the front a lil bit to make it look better but well see. How much would adjustable springs or coilovers cost?

I wouldn't go cheap with the suspension. Save up and change the struts out as well when you lower.

aight cool
ima go check out the wheels tomorrow

here it is!!!!



ill take better pics tomorrow, im thinking of getting new tires even tho these are, thinking of getting a 50 profile tire, i have 40's now

They fit, but it doesn't match the car too well. lol

lower it!

actually they match ir perfectly, its just the low profile tires with no drop kinda make it look eh, im thinking of getting a 50 profile tire, these are 40 then i might drop em

yeah i think 215 50s would work. are those 205 40?

btw i thought it was an escort at first glance... i like the rims alot

well 215's in the back might be possible but the front is gonna start sticking out.
i have some bad news. one of the rims got a slight bent in em. apparently on my way back somewhere along the way, it hit something, nothing crazy but still, and the tire also got damaged, oh well, its a learning experience. Never go with a 40 profile living in a potholed hell hole like michigan lol

i might get 45 profiled tires and sell the 3 other tires which have like a 1000 miles on em, theyre kumho ecsta AST, anyone interested?

heres a pic of the bent rim

yup lowering the car change the whole image on cars,btw i like the rims.

what are the specs on your tires?

would 205/50/16 be fine? i know 45 is fine, but what bout 50?

thanks

205/45/16 would be the best fit. 50 is still ok, but I like to keep it as close to the stock diameter as possible for accurate speedo readings.

I'm pretty sure you can have your wheel straightened at a rim shop

Nice choice, Weds = JDM

damn you dmg'd them already? that means you need to go with higher profile tires unless you dont mind fuckin' em up.

i have a feling 50 might be a lil too much tho, ill see
yea i know bout the 45 being the perfect fit but like i said, ill take a look at the 50 and see how much would it scrape the front, cause i know im gonna need to roll fenders in the back, maybe even with a 45

thanks
yea i found out this place thatll do it for 50 bucks for me =)

well i didnt really hit anything that was like ouch thats gonna hurt but then, its a whole new style of driving which im getting used to, ima get 45 or 50 profile pretty soon

rollatuner
how much did u drop your car front and back?
im thinking 1 inch back and about 1.5 inch front

I'm dropped around 3-3.5 inches all around. Once I get a decent coilover suspension, it's going even lower. Trust me. After a while, you'll decide that it just isn't low or aggressive enough.

so what is your setup? 3-3.5 inches!!!! wow, so in your sig pic its that much??? man i thought SUV's need that kinda drops, not something like our rollas lol

lol what springs are you using that ure dropped 3.5 inches

I'm using OBX coilover springs atm. I'm not too happy with how they perform though and the setup is 6 years old and tired. I think the front left KYB is going out as well. I'm thinking of Ksport or TEIN full coilovers next. I need something to keep up with the type of touge driving I do.

pronounce "toe gay" lol

anyway.... ive heard bad things about k sport if you do drive like your on touge, stuff ewill give out ad break. think someone posted this on vvti. id go with tien if i had an 8thgen. but id settle with ksport. they also make big brake kits.

damn wish i had the $$

Save up and get something made from a more reputable brand name, I wouldn't cheap out on suspension parts unless you like being surprised while your driving.

yeah i saw the pictures for the semi-brand new ksport breaking apart already.

ok this might be a noob question but as far as suspension upgrades go, what is really needed? especially for a drop
theres springs, struts, coilovers, camber kits, what do they all mean? and how do they work with each other?

i got new struts and springs. didnt need camber kit.

full coilover is like the strut and spring put together but you can fully adjust it.

cheapest way to do it is with ebay coilover springs, but they are a pita to figure them out. they cost like $20 but they suk. so forget i said anything. you can just get lowering springs that will lower your ride and keep it comfortable but you cant adjust the height. if you change out the springs only you can pretty much keep your stock struts. fully adjustable coilovers replace your whole strut and spring assembly with a new setup you can adjust. camber kits just align your tires when you drop you r car, or if you race you can tweak it for track conditions.

honestly, since you asked this question, i would recomend you start of with some lowering springs. then as you gain knowledge about whats out there and how it works then you can move up to the adjustables.

this would be what rollatuner has. just the obx coilover springs. ~$150


this would be a fully adjustable coilover set which we all want but cost ~$1000 for a good name brand



the internet is your friend... hope that helped.
