100LBs of win. (SSR inside)

First off, a HUGE THANKS to Tim aka Bippu Ten for sending these wheels out of the goodness of his heart.:biggthumpup: 
He came through BIG TIME for me!

thanks guys!

Unless you count tearing stuff off the undercarriage, and breaking my front grille 'mods', then no, no changes lol

But I'm going to test fit these rims without tires at work on Saturday, then hopefully get the bodywork and paint (just repairs, no colour change) done early next week.:giggity:

man, those are clean. Me likey.:biggthumpup:

can't wait to see them on the whip.

verrry nice SSR!  what are the specs?  are they the right bolt pattern this time :D

nice classic wheels!

Good for you firelizard I know you have beeen waiting for ages for some nice shoes..I cant waite to see them on you whip...They look brand new to me if they are used then WOW!

nice. i'm geussing thats a little couch cause it makes those wheels look big. lol.

Way to go man, I'm looking forward to the test pics!!   Yeah!!

Hehe, yeah, I am very excited too.

Since I got the wrong wheels last June(?) Tim had been looking for a set to send me instead. He told me I could keep the Eurolines, he just needed $250 extra, so basically, he sent me these near mint Viennas for $250. It was just really hard finding these in the first place, since a 4x100 bolt pattern in that sizing used is pretty rare.

Test pics tomorrow, and I scored shop time for next week! Now I just gotta find me a fender roller and a hammer >_>

Sweet score!  You really made out, cause you can / did sell the Eurolines!  Like everyone else, can't wait to see them on the ride.

AWESOME! Winnipeg just got a lil bit better!!! 
Can't wait to see pics!

Go test fit them you noob! Hurrrryyyy!!!! put some tires on...jeeze...lol

[quote=Caoboy;126244]Go test fit them you noob! Hurrrryyyy!!!! put some tires on...jeeze...lol[/quote]

seriously I can feel the hair growing out of my ears from the waiting....

Realtime update:

The fronts fit with no fender mods. In fact, I have room to spare, and depending on how it feels with tires, I may throw a 5mm spacer on there to get it flush.

I'm going back in the shop to test the rear right now.

Don't change the channel, pictures and final results are coming after this short break!

It's about time, hahaha
Looks good, i had doubts about this "Vipstyle Protege" but so far it looks like its going in the right direction.


:biggthumpup:

looks good bro.

Niceee!!! =D

From the test fitting pics looks like you got the offsets right on the money! Looks great cant wait to see what they'll look like with some tires on them and the car on the ground.

4x100??? how lucky are ya!. damn..

cant wait to see the update

youll need to stretch on the back but the front looks tight. good luck i cant believe you got a 4X100 wow

btw, your taillights are dirty!

Hey noob, you still haven't put these onnnnnnnnnnnnn.........

Yeah, my supplier messed up the order and my front tires didn't show up.

But I got the rears mounted and I'll put 'em on today.

215/45 is beefier than I thought, in both directions though. Looks pretty padded, so I probably won't waste any time going either a 215/40 or a 205/45 in the rear, depending on clearance, and in the front I guess I'm stuck with 205/40 if I downsize the rear (right now, 205/45 is coming).

... *eagerly awaits final setup pics...*

I have 3 options: 
-pull some more, then cover the mess with fiberglass and filler.
-camber some more
-fab up some slightly wider replacement sheetmetal.

For the record, the car wasn't fully down in those pics, it was actually sitting on the tire. It had about 1/3" to go.

But take that, credit card fitment!

205/40 probably would have solved that problem, but I don't feel like it.  215/40 definitely though.

needs work. good luck fenders need body work now, are you using a heat guy for fenders/

jedus did you use a pipe or a hammer?

buy a fender roller

Hammer, then a pipe.

Hammer was going well until the metal broke. Then it all went to shit. The pipe just made it worse.

Whatever. I'll just cut it out and get someone to weld in a patch that is a couple mm wider than stock. No biggie.

hammer and dolly, stretches the metal, would be a little flimsy, but would of worked if you needed just a little more metal to work with.

Everything would have gone according to plan if rust hadn't made the metal so thin and brittle.

Camber fixes everything!
 
And what camber cant fix, can be fixed with a BFH. But try camber first...

tires look pretty meaty, I say camber some more!

Gyeah. for canada. . Thats dope man. .Not sure what size your rims are but you need to run the smallest rubber you can. .  I've put 17x9j +18/21 on Ek civic 205/40's all  around and it looks perfect. . Nice and low and skinny. .If you got 18's then same thing. 205/40 or 215/35. .

You can see the civic in my ECU tuning vid.  

G.

You put your rims on wrong. Your tire is on backwards LOL. 

Camber it a bit, if it's not enough, go full out flares yo! do it! and put spacers on..25mm minimum. Supa flares, go wide.

lol, I know

I only have one fender mangled thankfully, it's my test fender. I just happened to pick the wrong wheel to test fit.

I'm thinking I'll  sell all 4 tires I ordered so I can recoup and buy smaller rubber before I put the wheels on for good.

I'm thinkin' flares, 'cuz the metal is shit anyways, and it's not gonna get better. Might as well cut off the infected shit right away. 15mm flare, 5mm spacer, 205/40 should do it.:giggity:

need skinier tyres to suit i think. whats the wheel spec again, it looks skinny from the back, x8 width ?

8.5 in the back, 8 in the front

i'd say a combo of more camber and a slightly larger patch panel/flair.
