NB's Show Off Your Rims!

I'm surprised the tyre shop fitted 195s to the 16x8.5 rims.
TireRack.com in the US don't even like selling 205s for 15x8 rims yet most tyre brands in that size fit perfectly.
Also, you'll need to install flares or risk getting defected because it's a very obvious defect.

Yeah i swapped a set of wheels for these with the Tyres already fitted. They are 8.25 wide.
I can't get my head around Tyres with this much stretch.

ROH Casino 15" ET15

Only on temporarily while I replace two busted tyres on my OEM 16"s (ran over a stormwater drain lid)

My first post! :beer:

Here are some Enkei wheels you might not see very often. Wheels in the first three photos are PF01s (15x8 +35) and are my street/autocross set. Wheels in the last photo are JS+Ms (15x6½ +43) and are my drag racing set.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm on Vancouver Island (just off the west coast of Canada), in the city of Victoria (province of British Columbia).

Here's some shots of KONIG Dial-Ins (15x8 +25mm Offset). Previous wheels were 15x8 +36mm. That extra 11mm makes a difference. No more scraping against the coilovers when wheels are full locked. Pretty decent weight as well, 5.4KG.

Yokohama Advan Rz 16x8's wrapped in Advan Neova AD08R's

smy0003 · Postby **smy0003** » Thu Oct 13, 2016 6:48 pm

Advans look great, Daffy.
Don't see to many of them on mx5s because not a lot of their stuff comes in 4x100.
How's the grip on the 225 section ad08r's?

Thanks mate! I ordered these ones via Maxime at rev9- yokohama make them to order, so the 4x100's are drilled prior to the paint job- they were more than what I wanted to pay by the time I got them (factoring import tax etc :shock:

) but I cant fault the quality and looks of course (ultra light too, about 5kg). The ad08r's grip is brilliant- the problem childs power output was more than the 17x7's on potenza re002 could hold in second or beginning of 3rd, it still breaks some traction in 2nd with the yoko's but you really feel the diffrence now its holding so much more traction both in straight line and around the bends. (Heres hoping the driveline holds up now!!)-

Looks great. I was looking for a set of these on Yahoo auctions Japan for a while but could never find them in the right size and offset!

What offset did you end up with?
