Im not sure why I decided to mod everything on my car before getting rims and a drop.. kinda wish I did that first (then maybe I would have stopped). Anyway, I think after I get my Ark next week im going to start saving for rims. I want to spend 1200 or less and I dont want staggered. As much as I love deep dish in the back, I want to be able to rotate my tires.. plus I have AWD so I dont want to mess with rolling diameters etc.. Im going to do a pretty aggressive stance, no finger gap (trying springs first then moving to coils later on) I want to do 19x9.5 all around (what offsets do you recommend to get semi flush.. I dont want to be hella flush and start stretching tires.) And im stuck on the rim decision, I really like forgestar f14s and varrstoen TE37 reps but Idk, any other suggestions? Im looking for a matte black face with a polished lip (if the wheels have lips)

 

u can never go wrong with the forgestars

 

First I would suggest 20's if you don't want gap and your running the ARK. I have 19's (Staggered on an my X) and I still have a little gap in the rear and I have to raise my car because the middle section of the ARK Exhaust will hit if I go over a bump over 3 inches tall. I'm running a 37 offset on 19 x 10's in the rear and I think it's perfect for 19's

 

If you don't want gap at all I'd suggest H&Rs they're a bit lower than eibachs which have a little gap in the front. But honestly if you're thinking about coils I would just go ahead and skip the springs all together, I really wish I had gone that route instead of just springs. I have 20x10 +43 in the rears and it's pretty flush too with an eibach drop.

You can't go wrong with the f14's either they look great on our cars. As for 1200 is that including tires?

 

No that does not include tires. The h and rs dont give an even drop on the x though.. from what ive seen. so if I want to do 19x9.5 all around what offsets should I go with front and back?

 

^^Honestly I don't know if any springs have an even drop on the X. Here's the problem; with my eibachs the rears are perfectly dropped, can barely fit a finger in there. Meanwhile, there's a 1-1.5 finger gap in the front which is annoying but I just learned to not care. Even with the gap in the front, the undercarriage of the car specifically in the front, is literally inches from the ground which is not a problem on the rwd. I recently just tore off the whole plastic cover from scraping it so badly and that's only on eibachs.

Notice the gap in the front

 

Those rims go great with your car!

 

I have the exact same issue, but I'm on coilovers and I'm going to raise my height because my new exhaust is way to close to the ground for comfort. I'm actually looking to sell my wheels and get 20's

 

Thanks!

Yeah man it's terrible; either live with the gap or die from the scraping, pick one lol.

 

damn, thanks for the wheel size info guys ^ , i was looking into some hrr mr2 19's but i might have to do 20's now... its like $100 more per wheel!!..

 

time to get the shiny aluminum cover?

 

With that budget id say do some varrstoens

 

lefizzet, what wheels are those?

 

^ MRR GT1 hyperblack i think...

 

I love your drop but you think its really too low? Is that the AWD set or RWD? Can I get a link? and are you running camber kits?
