??Wheelspacers??

[offroadexpy]

I'm looking at doing a set of wheel spacers, the question is with the stock wheels what would look better 1.5" or 2"? I'm just wanting a little wider stance but dont want to go to far and look gawdy. Or the other option is to just wait and save for a set of wheels that I been looking at with a deeper backspacing...........

As far as looks youll be fine with either. You would definately need longer studs though.

or just order 2" spacers that have studs. tighten the nuts down on the wheel spacers tight too. what ever the max tq on the studs are do that. mine i think is 110 and i usually tq to 100. if i run spacers in the future 110 is what i would do. for the record if i remember correctly its 80-110 ftlbs for wheel spacers for the 1st gens. could be different for the 2nd gens. look it up first though.

Here's the wheels I've been looking at.....

I just can't decide on the wheels or just spacing out the stock wheels....

 

[panda24619]

heres how i look at it. do you your stock wheels? then dont get new ones. if you have cheap crappy ones... cough cough... TALLS! then get new ones. i like those. what tires are you running. if your running wider tires then rims are good too. holds the tire on there better.

Yup I've been looking to change mine to those

@ panda, I'm running 295 70 17 terra graps


solisimo, Those are nice rims too,

 

[offroadexpy]

As soon as I can swing it I'm going to have all the grey plastic on the bottom of my expy painted glossy black to match the rear windo corner caps..... So the ones with black would really set it all off, thats why Ive been looking at those so hard

 

[SOLISIMO]

And if I recall your running the 3/2 so those eagle 101 rims will fit right in with some nice tires. I remember you had some rubbing at full lock but these rims will bush the tire out but you will need to trim your bumper, no biggie.

 

[panda24619]

you should. you can never have too much black. as long as theres other colors. and the little bit of chrome in the rims gives it that color.

 

[offroadexpy]

I'm not ready to pull the trigger on wheels just yet, I'm just trying to decide what I'm goin to do so I can work out a game plan....

 

[panda24619]

i would bed line it all. haha no on plastics like that black would look good. this is how i look at it. i want bigger tires. but the rims i really want... http://4wheeldrivesportutility.automotive.com/149061/1101-4wd-general-grabber-tires/photos8-0.html but wrinkle black not gloss black. and reason why... http://www.4wdandsportutility.com/tech/1101_4wd_wheel_and_tire_informational_guide/photo_30.html

and they arnt too much. 17" X 8.5": $345 and they cut the rims to your bolt pattern. and sure "real" bead locks rnt dot approved, but cops cant tell the difference. theres too many fakes out there. i could just tell them they look real. haha but i would get the ring powered coated to my red not RED!

 

[offroadexpy]

Those are bad ass panda just not my look.

 

[panda24619]

there are others that i like too, but they dont come in the 5x135 bolt pattern. some companys say, well drill to your bolt pattern, but itll cost you extra. like okay what ever. and walker evans has been making these for ever now. so i know they are good.


but thats future talk. after i go long travel, or make this my tow rig and build an old toyota. either way im getting these rims.

id say save up for the wheels you want. and panda go take take a long walk of the la jolla cliffs. and besides i didn't by them the ex did. but i know i need new ones.

i rather do sun set cliffs. closer. haha i think the stock wheels you had before looked better then the "new" ones you have now.
