Own a set of aftermarket wheels or are you running different tires? Post pictures by using the format below.

I did a search and didnt find anything that compiles all of our cars with the various wheel setups available, so i created this one.


To keep things clean and informative please post in this format:

  • Brand Wheel with specs
  • Brand Tire with specs
  • If the wheels are custom in any way please specify what made them custom
  • Image from front
  • Image from side
  • Image from rear
  • Image from 3/4 front
  • Image from 3/4 front with wheels fully clocked the direction the car is turned
  • Image from 3/4 rear
  • Optional: Image from front without bumper and splash guards off


Tips for good images:
  1. Take shots at a low angle and from 30-50ft away.
  2. Take pictures in good lighting(i.e. sun to your back, sun over head, in a very well lit garage with enough light to see dark wheels.
  3. use a DSLR with a telephoto if possible, if not try finding a point and shoot.
  4. If you are using an smartphone try to only shoot during the day time.
  5. Most of all, this is for informational purposes only, so dont get crazy and photoshop.

Hi,
new to thread. My setups:

street: stock
track: Jongbloed Racing 305 Aero 18x9 et48 (custom 3pc) with Toyo R888 255/35-18, square
suspension: stock

Some beautiful wheels and cars here. I am posting now as I am asking for some help: anyone here running Team Dynamics (or any wheel really) at 18x9 with et38, and with wider tires 255/35?? I am planning to get a second, cheaper track wheel/tire set, but I want to run same size tires for track use. I do not plan on stretching tires, or rolling fenders, or changing suspension.

I am close to fender already, just not sure if I have all 10mm of space to move to a et38. Any input from racers successfully running this setup would be greatly appreciated!

2013 Focus ST
Wheels: Team Dynamics Pro Forged 1.4 19x8.5/5x108/46mm offset with 63.4 hub bore
Lugs: Ford #M-1012-RSA (required)
Tires: GoodYear F1 Asymmetric 2
Size: 235/35R19

I am just thrilled with these wheels. And the tires are perfect for how I use my machine. I have to add an endorsement for the dealer on these wheels, Perfect Circle Autosport. Hands down, just the best. A honest dealer that goes the extra mile for the customer.

I like 'em. TS Foci look best with black wheels.

The ASYMMETRIC 3's are run flats, correct?

Someone please help.

I have a friend selling a set of 18x10 +25 wheels from his evo.
I found will adapters to go from our 5x108 to the more common 5x114.3, but they are 15mm thick.

I've read this forum and I'm having a difficult time comprehending all this wheel stuff. LOL

My question is, will these fit? If i could get an explanation rather than a simple yes/no that'd be awesome.

Thanks in advance!

Some dynamic shots at Laguna Seca.

Particularly telling is the shot coming down the corkscrew with left side fully loaded. At full compression, there is very minimal but complete clearance between outer fender and tire. I think the +48 offset is necessary for complete clearance when running a 255 or higher tire. As some other members stated they are successfully running +38 offsets on track, I think this is dependent on the fact that they are also running 235 tires. Just my 2 cents.

100% agree, their stock tires stretch on the wider fitment allowing clearance. Gotta have that extra meat for grip. 255's are whats up, I think these specs are perfect! Nice job and car. Stock suspension is great for daily/track.

Coilovers will be installed some time in the next few days, will get some proper pictures once they are on.

How is the fitment; no rubbibng? I'm planning on running a similar setup - 18x9.5 +40 with either 245/40/18 or 255/35/18. I'm also currently on lowering springs

Thank you! I'm super pumped on it. I really love the whole wheel/tire fitment and stance of the car in general, it was exactly what I was going for and imagined in my head.

I'm running ST Suspension STX coilovers. I had originally planned to do Bilstein B14 PSS coilovers, but a local guy that I know had the STX coilovers for sale for $300 bucks and I just couldn't pass that up. I didn't give the STX coilovers much thought to be honest, but after I bought them and did some research and was super impressed. ST Suspensions is owned by KW, and the STX coilovers are the exact same as KW Variant 1's. Same shocks and springs, same valving, literally the exact same coilovers, the only difference is the STX coilovers have zinc plated steel shock bodies, and the KW V1's are stainless steel(Inox is the trademark name for the proprietary alloy that KW developed for it). These are probably better performing than the Bilstein's in all honesty. I have the ride height on the rears completely maxed out on the lowest setting possible, and the fronts are adjusted to match. Went to have it aligned and everything remained in the specified range except for the toe on the front axle was out slightly. So that's a plus as well.
