Little preview of what's to come....

carp, I was literally just looking at a set too... lol (Although I'm looking at the 17x9's since it's 9+" wide that they start being slightly concave)

Looks good.

Sorry.. Couldn't help it.

I was waiting for someone to do that. lol

Well things get a bit punchy this time during the third night shift in a row.

I've been thinking about re-drilling some 17x7s myself. Or possibly Kosei K1s. My main concern is weight not looks. Not that looks are bad.

how much poke will that be with the 9's?

I didnt wanna go overly stretched and poke or deal with fitment issues.

 

[Thaifight-R]

17x9 +45
With my 15mm adapters, that would be 17x9 +30

^According to that, it's pushing it, but it shouldn't be too bad.

You would want to have a bit of stretch but nothing too absurd. (at least in my opinion)

I just put 205/50's in there to get a relatively close overall tire diameter, but you can probably run something a bit wider. 215/40's work according to that calculator as well. Haven't tried 225's yet.

 

[duhveed]

Yeah I'll be happy with the 17x8 +35 plugged it in that calculator and it'll be sunk .23"

Had an Evo X before this and that thing had an aggressive setup. But this is a Sonic no point in doing so lol

Redrilled or adapters?

I wanted to go 17x9 with a 35 offset but the shop would only make me 17x8 with a 34 offset and the addition of 5 mm spacers...

Redrilled

The rest of the wheels get here soon then they'll be sent off

Got to choose a color to powder coat now

 

[duhveed]

Installed them recently now I'm gonna get some coilovers to lower this bish

 

[Larrymer]

More pics from the front please. Do they stick out or tuck in the fenders?

I'll take some later. They tuck in the fenders I didnt want any wheel poke at all

 

[Larrymer]

Any rubbing? Who did you get to redrill them?

Didn't you just get some wheels? :lol:

 

[duhveed]

I need some 235 or 225 width tires but heres the fitment

 

[Larrymer]

^^ Looks very good.

Didn't you just get some wheels? :lol:

Yep. Doesn't mean I don't still long for RPF1s on every car I buy.

 

[Larrymer]

Can you take some close ups of the wheels? Also what bolt pattern were they originally and what did it cost to get them redrilled and by whom? Sorry for all the questions, I just love RPF1's.
