Just ordered a set of these of the 16X7.5 and 16X8.5 variety





and these..............

Kumho ECSTA Supra 712s

to go on this................

 

F - Buddy Club P-1 16x7.5 +26
R - Buddy Club P-1 16x8.5 +31

To be exact......

Should look almost like this......

except I have a power top

 

jesus man you are just proving me wrong all over the places today they do look an awful like k1s but who gives a shit they look damn good on that hard top. what kind of suspesion does that hard top have cause i know it isnt stock height.

 

These K1s??



Yeah pretty close huh

Not sure about that drop looks 2 inches or more. I think I will e-mail him and ask it looks good

 

Looks str8 but what made you go with 16 and not 17 or bigger wheels?

 

Thanks Flounder


Reasons.......

1. These are lighter than 17s only 13.5 each.

2. I will have a little smoother ride with 50 series up front and 45 series out back than I would with 45s up front and 40s out back.

3. The tires are cheaper than 17 inchers

4. I got an excellent deal on them.

5. These wheels are fairly rare there arent too many sets in the country and Ive never seen a set around town.

 

well actually the kosei K1s ARE Buddy Club P1s. same wheel. there are 2 versions of the buddy club wheel. one with lip one without. check them out at

click on the buddy club p1-Racing.


also charles those offsets seem high. all the research i did indicates slightly less offset.

RAYS reccomends +33 front and +38 rear.
that Japanese parts site reccomends 32- 35.

Just curious because i will soon be in the market as well

That guy has the same wheels Im getting same size tires Im getting with an extreme drop and said he only has VERY little rubbing only while autox-ing the car at its limit. Im only planning on a mild drop so I should be fine.

Tires should be here tomorrow afternoon hopefully I can get them mounted Wednesday/Thursday and I will let you know. Im still at stock ride height for the time being. Car might actually looked jacked up a bit with the lower profile tires until I lower it
