i suggest camber kits if your car is lowered so they can align them back to OEM spec or to get your wheels to fit without rubbing. What you can do is sell your current spacers and get 20mm spacers for front and rear. This will give a flushed look on your car with your current wheel.

ok got my K&N filters and some smoked side markers up for grabs, shoot me some offers just dont have a need for them.

phister

Found me the perfect spare full size wheel, it's a cheap Moda MD11. I found a guy selling a used one for 70. It's 17x8 +32 and it clears the SS calipers without spacers. I put my spare 215/45/17 tires on them.

tommy

They're only $114 at Tirerack, brand spankin' new.

Might have to order one- I've been paranoid about getting a flat since I had the C32 brakes installed - they'd fit my setup then too, right?

phister

they should tommy, i put it on without the spacer to see and it had quite a bit of room to clear still. I'll mount it and take a pic for you tomorrow just to be sure for you. but yea the one i got was in great condition and had just a small road rash and nothing else wrong. I had my bridgestone re760 tires still so i thought I looked for a 17 spare and luckily stubbled upon this one. I already have it masked off and ready to build my fiberglass enclosure. I'm gonna have to buy more suede now though to line my trunk.

tommy

That would be great, thanks.

phister

sorry tommy I forgot to take pics of the wheel mounted. I have the spare masked off and ready for my fiberglass setup. I'll have it done by the weekend.

phister

also have my fluted bolts for sale BNIB. Its only 2 bolts (our cars take 4 total, 2 per side). It'll still allow you to adjust your camber in the front.

asking 25 shipped, they sell for 12.70 a bolt at rmeuropean w/o shipping

tommy

Yeah, I noticed.

I have never looked at the trunk area - is it easy to remove whatever's there to make enough space for the full-sized rim/tire?

phister

yea theres room because they made room for you to put the stock wheels in there if you have to use the spare.

tommy

Do you remember if they are ball or cone seat rims?

bimo2700mf

if i want to use it just for my front wheels (left & right) how many bolts do i need? because for the rear wheels i want to order camber kit from ghostrider, if just need 2 bolts for the front wheels, i'll take it, do you mind sending it using usps to jakarta? i'll pay for the excess shipping charge, just use the most standard shipping option to save on shipping fee

Hey Phi, how did you get ahold of BC Racing? I tried sending them an email but they haven't responded or did you just get the kit from an outside source?

phister

They actually have two sites, make sure to go to the updated one, I usually call them and they call back the next day or answer right away. I bought mine from a different site because I got a deal on them.

phister

You can use just two to do the front camber, just use them on the upper control arm but ours take two on each side, top and lower control arm.

phister

Ball seat wheels like most aftermarket ones. If you want I have spare sets of ball seat lugs. They're 19mm instead of the 17mm but should fit. I shoot them to ya if you want them just pay for shipping.

bimo2700mf

that mean i need 4 bolts? sorry little bit confuse bout it

phister

You really only need 2 to adjust the camber. They recommend getting all 4 to do the toe and camber. You just use the two fluted bolts on the top control arm to adjust.

tommy

Youv'e got it reversed - ball seat is what is OEM, and what my OZ rims are - most aftermarket wheels are conical (or "tapered").

But if you have a set conical lug nuts, I'd be more than happy to pay for shipping for 5 of them.

C230Kreepin'

Ok cool, did you need to get damping extenders because the site i'm on (circuitmotorsports.com) recommended i get it for my car but idk if i actually need it? Also, not to thread jack but i'm buying H&R sway bars, BC Racing coil overs, and Ghostrider's camber kit. What else do i need to do an entire suspension revamp?

phister

sorry youre right tommy i was fast typing at work on my phone and didnt read what i was typing. but yea they're acorn lugs. I'll snap a few pics of the lugs to show you here in a min.

phister

while youre doing your suspension you might as well do your bushing depending on your mileage. I got my extenders thrown in for free with my deal.

C230Kreepin'

Should i just replace the bushings with OEM or are there better aftermarket bushings out there? And my Benz has 93K miles.

phister

just get the oem ones, you can order them from rmeuropean for like 20 for the control arms.

phister

here you go tommy, i just searched around my garage and found some 17mm acorn lugs that'll fit. they're 17mm hex 12x1.50



heres how they sit in the wheels.
