Silver Sedan, Enkei RP03, Dunlop Direzza 101's

* Staggered RP03 19x8.5 & 19x9.5

* Dunlop Direzza DZ101's (245/35/19 & 275/30/19) +42 (i'm pretty sure)
{notice the most excellent fender cut, instead of your normal paint cracking roll!!)






I am installing some Eibach Sportline springs tomorrow, if anyone is interested in buying my ProKits (#6363.140 fits sedan thru 04) let me know.

Cheers, Ted

I was about to get of set of these before i got DPEs. Great choice, i think im still going to get them for track wheels but in 18's They are pretty cheap also (price that is) and the quality is awesome.

Looks real bad A$$ on the sedan.

Nice

AMG35... no, only the rears needed trimming. Probably wouldn't have needed it... but I am changing out my Eibach prokit springs for their Sportline ones.

Looking hot Ted!

With that rear offset (on 9.5") ... it was a wise move to trim the fender some. Those Dunlops are narrower than most 275s, so you could of gotten away w.o. a trim. However, once you move on to other rubbers ... you'll most certainly have rubbing issues w. the car that low.

Now do something w. those brake!

Just a thought Ted, I have a feeling RacingBrake might be itching for more press on their big rotor kit for non brembo G's and Z's. While not in the vain of Stoptech or Wilwood because you keep the oem calipers, might be worth checking out if everyone else stay's uptight.

They should have a rear kit avaliable as well.

Ted, do have any rubbing issues on the front? Another member (GurgenPB) said that he needed to find some spacers for the +42 offset - what are your thoughts?

I'd like to be the 3rd Silver sedan with these wheels.

So If I understand correctly--with a 19x9.5 +42 and dunlop 275s on the rear--and up to a 1" drop--No fender lip cut or roll needed--correct?

Front 19x8.5 +42 with a 245 tire. Hopefully its not too pushed in.

Enkei RP03s
I have gone from wanting a 4" lip/split spoke(axis matrix) to wanting a 2" lip 5 spoke(axis hiro/milano) to NOW wanting a clean looking 5 spoke wheel with no lip(enkei RP03). So here it is on socalteds--It shows depth by the curvature of the spokes--rather than having a lip. Easier to clean b/c it has no rivets or split spokes and weighs only 20lbs for the wheel and looks like a true19"wheel, maybe even 20"ish--b/c lipped wheels look an inch or so smaller. The contrast should compliment my black gsedan the way the current 17" sport rims do. The rear offset is +42 so according to Chico's advice--that should be better.
