awesome, ill post pics when its done!

I know you don't want to hear this, but the tires aren't too wide, the offset is wrong. 305s or even 295s won't help much either. 295s are 2 centimeters narrower than 315s. They would gain you 1 centimeter, (about 1/2 inch) on the outside, and the same on the inside. Judging by your pics, you'll need a little more than that to insure no rubbing over serious bumps. Beautiful wheels though. Here's a pic of mine, with the exact same tire size on HRE Monoblocks:

Hey Roc Spo, do you have any more pictures of your car? I've been wanting to see one with GFX minus the rear piece. Plus your wheels look absolutely amazing, so I wouldn't mind seeing some more pics of those either

Roc Spo · 11-01-2009, 01:24 PM

Here you go:

I've made a few other modifications since I took these pics, but since it's pouring down rain at the moment, new pics will have to wait.

Roc Spo, how much of a drop on your car? Looks good.

camaro692 · 11-01-2009, 03:29 PM

Offsets are as close as you can get on one piece wheels with a lip. No lip wheels such as yours offer better fitment but I like my wheels to have a lip. Your right about changing 2 centimeters as they are 20mm narrower (295's). 1/2" will be plenty as im not looking to tuck my tires at all. Lexani custom shaves all of their wheels and these are shaved as close as possible while still clearing the brake calipers. With 295's on they will line up almost with the fender. I will have those on probably tuesday.

Car looks good but the offset does look a little off. I just ordered a set of CCW 505A's(front:20x10 w/275/40/20 and rear:20x11.5 w/305/35/20). I believe the rear rims have aprox. a 3" lip and they are completely inside the wells. I had John send me a BUNCH of pics before spending the $$$

Roc Spo · 11-01-2009, 07:32 PM

I like the look of a lip as well, but I'm going for slotcar handling, so I need the drop. My car is lowered 2 inches front & rear via Pedders coilovers.

fredbo · 11-01-2009, 08:01 PM

Thanks, I'm planning on getting Pedders and doing either a 2 inch or 2.5 inch drop

Depending on looks with my 22" rims. I'm want there to be ZERO wheel gap.

Do you know if your new rubber is a smaller or larger diameter from stock? Reason I ask is I know my 22's with the 265's up front and 315's in the rear are a slightly smaller overall diameter over stock.

How are you finding the ride so far with the 2 inch drop? Any issues getting in and out of driveways and getting over speed bumps?

Thanks

camaro692 · 11-01-2009, 11:36 PM

jeffny09 are you asking about the Lexani's and Nitto invos or Roc spo's wheels?

TaylorRyanSS · 11-02-2009, 02:33 AM

looks good... I wanna do the lx10s but in 22s, the 20s look tiny

Roc Spo · 11-02-2009, 07:47 AM

The Nitto NT05s are almost exactly the same diameter as the stock 20s. So far, no issues with speed bumps or driveways, but my driveway is flat, so I can't really say.
