FishingFiend Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Due to a recent flat tire, I went ahead and upgraded wheels/tires instead of just buying 2 tires. I somehow found a way to justify this. Went with the hyperblack ROTA SVN 18 x 8.5 with Khumo ASX 235/40/18. Not too many pics of the LGT with the SVN's so I thought I would share for those on the fence. http://fishingfiends.com/webgallery/beforeafter2.jpg http://fishingfiends.com/webgallery/wheels.jpg http://fishingfiends.com/webgallery/wheels1.jpg http://fishingfiends.com/webgallery/wheels2.jpg http://fishingfiends.com/webgallery/wheels5.jpg http://fishingfiends.com/webgallery/wheels3.jpg http://fishingfiends.com/webgallery/wheels4.jpg http://fishingfiends.com/webgallery/stance.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmachine Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 It amazes me how small an 18in wheel looks depending on how the spoke,finish are designed. Here's a crappy pic of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishingFiend Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 Thanks, they look better in person. They are a bitch to clean, 14 spokes! I'm not lowered, and I'm not sure that I can. Those 235/40 are pretty big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowFast Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 It amazes me how small an 18in wheel looks depending on how the spoke,finish are designed. Here's a crappy pic of mine. That looks nice, have other angle shots? The darker rims seem to always look smaller than a light color or silver rim. I wish Rota would make those in a 19", looks wise it would be perfect, but probably heavy and no so performance oriented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewLegGT67 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Nice rims and car. I love how the 8.5 come right up the edge of the fender. A much more aggressive stance. I'm probably the only person that has Wu-Tang Clan and Paul McCartney on their mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmachine Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 That looks nice, have other angle shots? Need better digi/cam. Here is what i have. Tires are 235/40R18 RE01R's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGT Dave Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Looking good. I just put on my set of 17x8 SVN's in hyperblack. Hyperblack definitely goes well with the DGM. Make sure to post your pics here if you want a free t-shirt from Subydude: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63820 . I still need to get some pics of mine on there for a free shirt before the offer expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longitude Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Need better digi/cam. Here is what i have. Tires are 235/40R18 RE01R's. Do you have any suspension work at all? I have cobb springs on stock struts, and I'm concerned about clearance if I go with same tire specs as above on SVNs. Will it rub? Is fender rolling needed? Should I get 235/35/18 (rare size acc to xenonk)??? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I get 235/35/18 (rare size acc to xenonk)??? thanks in advance no, you wont have any rubbing issues. i have the svns on h.techs. i think the cobb springs have a lower drop than the h.techs in the front, but you'll still be left with plenty of room. and yes, 235/35/18 is very hard to find.

DrJayMixwell Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Thanks dude. You got pics of yours? Also what tire size you running? click here for pics. pics with the SVNs are in post #21 of that thread. i'm running 235/40/18. but for some reason, the tire doesn't wrap around the rim as much as i would like. 245/40/18 would probably be the best fit in my opinion. that size isn't too hard too find.
