16x7 Riken Mesh FAIL

Post by Alvin »

I tried fitting the Riken wheel/tires from the Box Flare car this weekend:
Image
Riken 16x7 Zero offset (L) with 225/50/16 vs Panasport 16x7 +10 offset 205/45/16….Yikes!
Image

front, no chance of clearing front fenders…too much tire!

Barely clears
rear:

Those look to tall for 16 x 225/45 so I looked a littler closer....

Those are 16 x 225 / 50 ...still look more than 20 mm wider......

thanks for catching that Phil, edited post. I think the RS-3s run a little wider than "normal" street tires

Alvin,
Someone local to me has a set 15x7 with 0 offset. Would you say these wouldnt work? Im still trying to find some jdm wheels, 15" to clear 300zx calipers, but not needing spacers or rubbing.
Waiting for the bugs to be worked out...

16x7 0 offset Konig Rewinds with 225/50's rub like a bastard on my 74 260z... I need about 5 mm to get comfortable. Took my fat accountant for a ride and peeled off half my sidewall. Good thing my wife is skinny...
