Is this

The same setup as this?

Did you have weight in the car or did you spin your coils all the way down? I am wondering about the poke of your rear wheels.

itsLoonie

In the 2nd picture where I'm a bit higher, I still had the height adjuster on. In the 1st pic is after I completely took it out. I'm pretty much running on the spring without a pad rear. Like everybody says, its more sunk in the rear now since I went lower because of the negative camber. Looking to correct that with spacers or even reverse mount my LMs but that's about another 15mm on average which brings my rear from ET50 to about ET35 That's even if I have fender clearance.

Matt_Eurojerks

ET35 thats what I like to hear!!!!! Just have to stretch like whoa!!! I need coils but don't feel like spending 3k on H&R's right now....grrrr
Thanks for the quick response. Thinking about running ET45 up front and ET 40 out back...

itsLoonie

That's assuming I can even go 35 offset hahaha Last time I checked, H&R coilovers are about 1.3k off tire rack. Still somewhat expensive, but not in the price range you think it is. Coilovers in the 3k range would be the KW V3 that has adjustable dampers but doesn't go that low compared to H&Rs.

Matt_Eurojerks

yeah..my bad...thinking K&W v3...I have a 4matic.

reverse mounting LMs get you around 7-8mm difference, not 15mm.

itsLoonie

Really? I searched around and that's what people were getting. Guess I won't know until I make some measurements for myself.

kendricksoares

loonie, wow, i have nothing to say, im speechless,
one of my favorite 204 on the forum,
car looks awesome man,

aowhaus

holy crap! I just noticed how stretched your tires are!
I don't like seeing a lip on the outside of the rim, it looks really odd and too extreme for my taste.

I'm still a fan of the BBS wheels.

Matt_Eurojerks

I will just leave this here....

imbane

Nice! I like it!

itsLoonie

Thanks, that's big coming from you. How's the green wheels?! Heard you were getting **** from the E90 forums or something like that about them. I say screw them. I love them!!


As long as your a fan of BBS


Wish I had them in gold. I was thinking about reverse mounting them and painting them in gold while they were apart.


Thanks!

got_thang?

yeah it seems like if you want to be "slammed" with w204s you need air suspension. thanks to where the bumper meets with the fender..

AdidasC230

I like your wheels and your car but things camber and stretch looks stupid. Esp on an accord ex...just imo though

mmmhmm

sweeeeet!! love the LM's!

kevink2

Really like the BBSs! But with that stretch, and that short a sidewall height, you need a volunteer to sit on the front of the hood, looking for sidewalk curbs and potholes !

.

kevink2

And you have an awesome signiture vid, that makes it hard to read your post !

itsLoonie

I don't mind the stretched looked but I agree with the camber on my buddy's car though. Respect your insight.


Thanks, can't beat the classic LMs


Haha, I drive extra careful with these wheels on. I don't take corners like I'm auto crossing anyways so it suits me.


So I know its been a while since I've updated on the wheels. I took them apart and reverse mounted them. They do have some corrosion I believe so I have to repolish (doing it myself). Been lagging since I don't have a lot of time.

I measured using a straight edge and indeed the offset will be well in the mid-high 20s for the front and low 30s for the rear. I don't remember the offset exactly but I believe it was +25F and +32R. It went down 17 for front and 18 for rear

The lip is wider and bigger now which is why I reversed them. Do they fit? I test fitted them and the rears are perfect. The front I will be getting the wheel hub shaved about 3-5mm off so it looks flush like the rear. Like I said I barely have time so I've been lagging. Got all my products to polish them up but don't have the time. I'll update it once I got 1 wheel done

agedog2gt

Looks really good bro. Personally, i think 19s would have been perfect but hey, to each there own. I completly fell in love with thLis scene not to long ago when i had my G35. I was in SoCal for 2 weeks (Newport Beach area) and just happen to hear about a show up in LA which happen to be a HellaFlush show. Was a blast, now im hooked and cant wait to get my C300 lookin right! Again, GREAT JOB, there are only a select few who really appreciate this!

itsLoonie

Thanks, I appreciate it. Yea only a few are into this scene on these forums. Yea it's not a practical way but people have to remember everyone mods their car to their likings. I was looking for 19s but couldn't find any with the right wheel spec I was looking for. I will go 19s in my next set though. Already have my next wheel in mind

agedog2gt

what are you thinking of getting next?

itsLoonie

Something more of a VIP style wheels.
Won't be gettiing those soon though.

You should share pictures when you get your car done up

SuperBeaverAMG

Fantastic styling!!! BBS LM - legend and overall picture is very very nice, like it.

I am trying practically the same with 19th Carlsson 1/11 wheels
Front: 8,5 ET40 and 235/35/19, but should be 225 or even 215
Rear: 10 ET45 and 255/30/19, might change for 235 or 245

And lowered by H&R springs, approx -20 or something mm.

Thinking about airride constantly

GT HAUS

Lovin' that stance! Looks very clean. Oh and by the way, nice exhaust!
