WOW how are you going to make those fit?! They look super wide! Did you get them in 4x120??

I do dig the Accord wheels on it though.

A man after my own heart. Modify the crap out of the car to fit the wheels you want...

And how wide are these things? Looks like 10" in this photo... :shock:

haha, damn right! this car is being built around the wheels..after all, the wheels cost more than the whole car. :shock:

they're 14x9 with +20 offset and i'm going with 14x6 up front. not sure on the front offset yet.

can you tell me more about the hub conversion? how will you do it?

so far, those wheels (work equip?) look deep. can it fit in FF cars? i heard it can make the bearings easier to broke. it's true?

This thing is gonna be awesome. Can't wait!

Did you miss the bit about the flares? :wink:

It doesn't do wonders for them, especially with the kind of cornering loads these tires will introduce. But it's not exactly a daily driver he's putting 10k miles a year on.

If you stay in the neighborhood of the stock offset, and put new bearings in when you do, they should last a good long time.

It's really the negative offset wheels on a FWD that kills bearings. :tu:

great looking car. :tu:

i got some sad and happy news for you guys. the sad news is i'm selling the equip 03's. i did a quick fit and i think the 9'' width is a bit too much for this little guy. even with fender flares it might be too much.

the good news is i'm still planning on rocking sweet wheels. i'm in the look out for some equip 01's. so if you guys know anyone that needs a pair(i only have 2) of brand new 14x9 +20 work equip 03, let them know i have them for sale! i'm looking to get what i paid for, which was $600 for the 2 wheels.
