  • Work Emotions?

    So i am looking into buy the Work Emotion XD-9 in bronze for my R32 GTS-T. i want the rims to have sweet dish like these http://forums.gtrcanada.com/showthread.php?t=27936 ( the first skyline on that sticky). I don't know much about offset or wheels sizes i know i need smaller in the front and bigger in the back. I have stock brakes and rotors so can i run these wheels with that deep of dish? If so does anyone know the dimensions?

    Thanks

    Paul

      taken from thread you posted lol

      "Wheels are 17x9.5 up front with a +17 offset Federal 595 tires 215/45/17 i know they seem small but federals fit bulky and gay so i had to go smaller than wanted but they actually fit perfect
      Rear is 18x10 +18 offset again bulky federal tires so they are actually a 225/40/18 they fit more like a 235 which is what i wanted

      2 degree of camber all around"

      IMO 18 is too big in the front unless its slammed with some sort of drift kit. (VS, origin, etc.) JVD's car looked amazing with the xd9s and those are 17 front.

        go with 17x9.5 +17 all around ! Throw some 235/40, add camber, roll fender and you'll have the perfect fit

                  I assume you mean behind the wheels :wink: , Most BBK will fit behind a 17 inch wheel with a +17 offset aslong as the spoke design on it isn't sunkin so the spoke doesn't clear the caliper. The XD-9 should be fine as long as your BBK isn't overly aggressive and isn't to big for a 17 inch barrel.

                        Just a heads up, I've read that XD9's and really big brakes don't really get along. I'll see if I can find a link.
