blah, i was under the impression that you were going to move the upper mount in 25mm, which would give you crazy camber and not give you any more wheel-coilover clearance. I guess this works though, although the wheel will have more leverage on the suspension it will feel slightly softer, but thats not going to matter for the norm.

your right, they are a great rim for the price brand new, and come with some good offsets and sizes. but unfortunately their strentgth becomes their downfall b/c everybody buys them for a well priced, good fitting, nice looking wheel. if they werent so popular i would have bought them. but then again if you want to stand out in the drift scene, we should start by not having a 240.

really it shouldnt be what one person has....its how that one person uses what he has in the first place!!!! or does that not make any sense at all? lol
i guess people have their own idea of a "good" fit. what tires are you running up front????????? im sure they fit well on the 7 wide.
lets go drifting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know what... Rims are rims, depending on what you need them for. I think who ever buys Sportmax 962 buy's them for what they look and boy they really look good.

i like the wheels i just dont like everybody running such a small width front wheels i mean if you think 17x7 +38 is good fitment then why didnt you just buy the full set of 17x7 sportmaxs? the car would have looked alot better and handled alot better also with 17x9 all around.....your probly running a 215-225 front tire which means the tire isnt flush which is fine but if you look at the rear tires its ither stretched or your runnikng a 265-275 width tires....dosnt make sense to do that....i would NEVER run staggered wheels on an S13 unless you have the same tires size front and rear and im talking a diffference of `1/2 an inch. btw the first white S13 with the wheels in the front he has spacers.
^your car looks nice too very clean but the rear wheels in your pictures kit the car perfectly while the front just looks liike you stold them from a honda or toyota.

exactly why you should have kept the stock ones! you had to have the bling first with your Silvia front and the wheels and now your gonna paint it, If you would have dumped all that money on suspension first, you'd be sitting on a sweet set of coilovers with tension rods by now. ooooh wait you got lowering springs and half ass tanabe ones at that.

I don't know about that, but his car looks a lot better with (Silvia front, exhaust wheels and shock/springs) Then with a nice set of "coilovers"...
