Hey guys, remember my meisters that I was talking about? the 18x9.5 -3 and 18x10.5 -1 ?
Well here you go, took some quick pictures.. I'll have better ones up later when I actually set up my equipment for a shoot.

btw car is at some ridiculous camber (still need alignment) car is aprox 4inch off the ground. need to raise it back up a tad bit to cope with extremely high speed bumps lol.

how did you buy them? do you have a yaj account?

 

[rtrdpenguin]

Those Meisters look classic man.

i go through a broker as such, but have my own account through him so i can bid on items myself rather then having to rely on someone else to bid and win auctions.

pay a $5 a month fee for the account which given the bargains and the amount of rare parts ive bought off their (arc titanium strut brace/jic camber arms/arc swaybars/aragosta coilovers) is well worth it

To get your car low like that did you run an adjustable coilover setup? Oh, and your car looks awesome.

Looking at some different wheel options as will be going widebody next year with s2 fronts( hopefully) and kaze rears would these fit and what sort of tyre sizes could I run if they did

18x10 +38 fronts

Yup, they are actually on zankoku performance coilovers. They're one of the vendors on this forum. And thanks! I still need to get some work done to it..

Im no wheel expert.. so please try to understand me.

Im planning to install 16X7 all around rims with offset of 40MM. Im going to be putting 225/55/R16 tires. What spacer should i use? the 5MM? & if so where do i get longer wheel studs?? because ive tried them on & they defitenately need spacers & lugs need to be longer if im putting spacers. :/

 

[Fletch124]

Do you have pics?



the lugs are M12X1.5

Nope no real good ones to show fitment.

do yourself a favour mate and google how wheel offsets and widths are calculated... then look back through this thread and see what kind of fitment you like and u will hopefully be able to make sense of everything.

unless u happy with the stock wheel fitment - then what u wrote is pretty near on the mark. sayign that - longer wheel studs are pretty expensve here in oz and for the time it takes to install them, your way beter off just buyign different rims which actually fit

did you have to modify or buy a set of rear lower control arms to get your camber in check in the rear? maybe my tabs are screwed up on mine, but I'm having trouble getting anything less than -1.7 or so, and my car is an inch higher than yours in the rear.
