Here is mine. HRE FF04

 

Damn those HrEs look hella clean on the mag

 

My street tires...Ground Force GF07, 18x9 +40mm with 245/40-18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S with no rubbing on stock suspension.

 

Japan Racing Wheels JR-21 // 5x108 (custom drilled) 18x9.5et+34
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S // 265/35R18

 

 

 

 

 

Tried something a little different.
-Volvo Xc turbines 19x8
-5x108 with 42.5 offset
-Achilles atr sport two 235/35/19
-corrected tpms
Ran cheaper tire at stock rs size to feel out wheel fitment. Worked out beautifully, no scrub. The additional 12.5 offset stands really nicely.

 

^^ nice color and wheel combo

 

Finally took some pics! New wheels are Revolve APVD No. 0119. 18x8.5 +38 with 235/40/18 Michelin P4S on stock suspension. No rubbing issues!

Awesome wheels. I posted my Method 501's around Christmas. These wheels remind me of mine. I strongly approve!!! I'm surprised they don't rub? Must be the tire size and brand. At first I thought I had no rub, and then I found these tiny cuts in my tread. I had to bend the front inner edge of my fender to stop the rubbing. If this happens, be careful the paint chips very easy when bending that edge.

 

Check wheeldude.com ... don't know stock levels with imports and quarantines and all that...

 

Forgot to post up my Option Labs R555 wheels.

I've missed not having 5 spokes, so I've pieced together this set over the last 5 months. So far real happy with how they turned out. Much easier to clean compared to my RPF1's and Assetto Gara's

My god those are gorgeous 😍

 

Oooo ^^^ that’s kinda bad assery!

 

My Evo x's fitted and formed

 

I didn't mention it before, but the fitment in the front was super tight at certain turn angles. Straight-on and most turn angles were fine, but there were a few spots where it was almost touching the plastic in the front part of the wheel well. To resolve that, I had a guy use a heat gun and a roller to reshape the plastic. I would still call it close, but it is much better than it was and I'm not aware of any rubbing. I'll keep an eye out for wear signs just in case.

 

I recently installed Ford Performance "RS" wheels (actually made by Ronal). They are 19x8, 5x108, 50et. I put on Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires (235/40-19). I was concerned about wheel damage with sidewalls as low as 35 which is why I went with the taller 40, but on my next tire change I may try 35s. At the same time I added 10mm DZX spacers from ST Suspensions which use a bolt-through design with 10mm shank lug nuts, which means I get the same number of turns with the spacers as without.

A few pictures of the end result...

Fairly subtle change, but I think it looks better with the 10mm spacers, making an effective wheel offset of 40.

If you are not familiar with bolt-through spacers, check out this video (which show larger 15mm spacers, but is basically the same thing except for a longer hub ring)...

I like the look of the taller side wall. It fills the fender nicely without having to lower it.

I am also impressed with the spacers. I've seen those before, but you are the first person I've seen post you results with them. The idea behind them is both simple and cheaper than replacing a whole set of wheels.

I had no idea the wheels were made by Ronal. Neat.

I recently discovered some rubbing which lead to the inside fender lip cutting the tires up a bit on the outer edge of the tread blocks. I solved it by pinching the lip upwards... but the paint chipped a little. I can touch that up later, but now I know why they say have your fenders rolled by a professional. In retrospect I should have gotten 235's. But I love the look and feel of the larger tires. This set up laughs at pot holes so far, compared to my stock setup.

Currently running Motec MCR2 Ultralights in 18x8, 40 Offset wrapped in Nitto NT555 G2's in 235/40. Lowered 1 inch all around with H&R springs.

But I'm thinking about getting Sparco Tarmac (18x8, 45 Offset) for next year and have them powdercoated in bronze as they only available in Gunmetal, which it a bit too stealthy imo.

Another option would be going for Borbet DB8GT in 18x8,5 with a 40 offset. But if I get those, I would go with 245/35 tires as well.

 

Alright guys I know someone else has Ambits on here so I thought it'd be a good place to ask, Ambits customer service is alil slow and would rather get them on quickly. So anyways, what style lugs nuts do I need for the RE83s, would the Muteki SR48s work? I am almost 100% that they need the skinny tuner style lugs, which are the SR48s like that? I know my XXR 530s on my Speed6 required the skinny style. So any help would be appreciared, just waiting for my 265/35/18 Fed 595SS to show up put on the wheels and slap them on the car. Lastly anyone know anything about the TPMS system on the Focus ST, I have a 2018. I have read some people buy new sets and the car recognizes them itself and then some people say they needed to either have the programmer or have them programed. Any info on that would be great too!!!

 

New shoes ?

Lowered on bc racing extremes

 

are you running spacers?

 

Here's my newest setup. Drag DR67's in 18x8 +40 with 235/40 tires. Almost fully lowered on BC coilovers and no issues with rubbing.

And thanks to Discount Tire for the prompt and professional ordering process.
