ngnear Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Very Very Nice. I prefer the 18" wheels that you have. Which brand are those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetee500 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Your car looks great. I wondered what those rims looked like on a white GT500....very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clark17357 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Nope they are 18x10 Rear 18x9 front with the stock tires mounted on them! I was hoping you would say that. I have been searching for great looking wheels that were 18" and would still fit over the brakes. Where did you buy them? They look super on your car. Thanks again.

BEEKAY GT500 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 A couple of people asked me to post some pictures of my car with the FR500s on them so here they are! The car is lowered with the FRPP springs. looks fantastic. great choice in wheels. i love these on the gt500. i have only seen a few guys run these so far. i'm assuming you went with the ones specifically for the 05-09's with 40mm offset/7" backspacing. is that correct? any need for spacers to clear the front brembo's? how many turns do you get with the lug nuts? 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, etc? the reason for this is i may need to run some spacers and want to make sure i still get enough wrap on the studs. how much further do they stick out compared to the stockers? my calculations say that it should be almost 16mm/0.6" further. is this about right? how much clearance do you have between the tire and shock cover? how much clearance do you have between the wheel and the bump stop bracket? how much clearance do you have between the wheel and the sway bar? do you think you could add another 1.5"? sorry for all the questions. i have been considering these replica's or the frpp silver 500's and having them widened to 11.5". the only thing holding me up is the right tire choice for me is not available. how about some shots from under the car showing the clearance from above the rear fender and from the rear (no angle)? thanks, brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct any need for spacers to clear the front brembo's? Nope how many turns do you get with the lug nuts? 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, etc? the reason for this is i may need to run some spacers and want to make sure i still get enough wrap on the studs. about 12 or so how much further do they stick out compared to the stockers? my calculations say that it should be almost 16mm/0.6" further. is this about right? just a little more see attached pics, your guess seems about right how much clearance do you have between the tire and shock cover? 1.7 inches how much clearance do you have between the wheel and the bump stop bracket? plenty! how much clearance do you have between the wheel and the sway bar? plenty, see pictures do you think you could add another 1.5"? 1in for sure, 1.5 may be cutting it close, but my car is lowered if that makes a difference I dont know sorry for all the questions. i have been considering these replica's or the frpp silver 500's and having them widened to 11.5". the only thing holding me up is the right tire choice for me is not available. how about some shots from under the car showing the clearance from above the rear fender and from the rear (no angle)? see pictures thanks, brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car is lowered with the FRPP springs. Car looks great. How do they compare clearance wise /the way they sit in wheel wells compare to stock? How much do the rims weigh? Did you use the stock lug nuts? will the stock center caps fit in the fr500 rim? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much do the rims weigh? Did you use the stock lug nuts? will the stock center caps fit in the fr500 rim? thanks in advance Thanks! Clearance they are fine, I'm running the stock tires right now and if you look at my other pictures in this post you will see that the tires stick out maybe a 1/4 inch. The rim itself is about flush with the fender. I did use the stock lugs. The center cap with not fit it, I tried it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
