Not calling you a copycat. Just saying if you want those wheels then buy them from the guy who did the work on figuring out the setup. Just like you said the guy that makes those tunning maps wont freely give out how he dose it so he can be an "Innovator" as you call it, since it was him who busted his *** with his time and effort and knowledge to create those maps. In turn if you want one of those maps then you go to him. Thats all im saying is hes not giving out offsets becuase Riley the guy that did the set up dosnt want other vendors reciving benifit of his hard work. Why is that so hard to understand? Same reason iForged, HRE, JLine ect dosnt give out offsets.

 

So, why would it matter if I have the exact same wheels 10,000 miles away, get over the top secret offset/fitment BS, who cares, you own an evo, nothing is different/original about it.
And just because you did something different, like put a rim that doesnt fit, reminds me of my old neighbor with his 1989 nissan pick-up lowrider with 12"rims sticking 6"out the sides of the truck, its rediculous NOT DIFFERENT.

 

I agree those are all extream.

 

How do they not ift? these wheels dont stick out any more then my old iForged set up did. They sit flush with the fender. Is it becuase he is runing a streched tire?

 

all the site jackasses got me lollerskating around over here.. and their same offset and same width and same tires all around.. how is that staggered? people dont understand backpad.

-the soon to be leaving Vendor because 95% of the forum is a bunch of asshats.

riley

 

From the views Ive seen so far, It looks as though they do stick out the fenders, Im guessing there is no rear view pics because of this, and yes the stretched tires is a good indicator that they dont fit, If he used the proper tire, he probably wouldnt be able to even bolt them up.
I just dont see the point.
I run 18x9.5 with 275's and they fit perfect, with no aggressive front camber, no shaving, nothing, if you ask me, thats an accomplishment, not just throwing on a rim a tire and calling it different....

 

Whats the point of having a 275 tire, and not running an aggressive alignment? Isnt the point of having such a large tire to increase traction? Why would you not get the alignment that will allow you to go faster in the turns? Ill go take a pic from the back for all of you guys saying they dont fit

 

whats the offset kid?

 

It's top secret classified info

 

I think he posted them as +39 on a previous post in this thread

 

So your running a stock alignment with 275s ? If thats the case their is no reason to debate anything with you as your already proved my point that 90% of the guys on here that think throwing on bigger tires automaticlly adds more traction. You can get more traction with a 255 and proper alignment and toe settings then you can with a 275 with factory settings.

 

Thats exactly what I said . What a tool I have the pics of the rear fitment, give me a second to post them up. I will post them in the first post with the rest of the pics.

 

Au contraire mon frere!
Honestly, if you have to ask that question you are not really into the custom scene much. Anyone who is really into the car/truck/bike custom scene understand the importance of being unique as possible, and not a "Biter". There are plenty of parts for the Evo for every Evo in this country to be distinctly different and still have form and function without being distasteful. It's just whether people can afford or want to do it, and that's from my point of view as someone deeply involved in these communities and scenes for many years.

Thats called "skate boarded" or "bow legged" look which is the core style of the Mini Trucking/ Trucking/ Low Rider scene, that millions enjoy around the world for many years. And no, it may not be for everyone, but that doesn't make it ridiculous. The problem is, some tight a$$e$ always have something to say about things that are out of their relm of understanding, simple as that. Variety is what makes the vehicle customizing industry continue to grow regardless how you feel about this style, or that style, or whatever. You find what you like and stick with it, and leave everyone else alone. As a shop owner and an enthusiast/builder for well over 25 years in all of these fields, I have a deep understanding and acceptance of these very unique custom cultures and do not expect anyone not in the scene to understand. Style is in the eye of the beholder and may not always be to everyones liking, but at least some people try to separate themselves from the masses and break the mold, and that's alright in my book. To each his own.

We are all here to have fun, so don't make it any harder than it already is by making useless rude comments. Keep it simple, keep in constructive.

Peace

 

Interested in wheels PM sent.

 

Nice setup Evo-L, truthfully though I liked the Emotions better on your car even though they are more common. They went perfect with your color evo imo, but +1 for originality.

I've always wondered how does running a stretched tire setup effect handling? I see alot of drifters running it in the rear, is that to make the rear rotate faster/easier, make it more "driftable"?

Also this is a bit but , Riley, have you ever considered doing some wheel work with subies? I dont know if you've ever been on the subie forums but they need some serious help getting off 7.5in wide rotas
