Ah, nice to see Gabe has some with black insert and polished rim - I think he gets them in now & then but it depends on his stock.

Are these the 14" ones with -9 offset? You might want to get some -ive camber going before dropping it otherwise you'll get a scrapping noise when turning ... then again, mine's only 85mm from the ground ... http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/7/5/4/536981.jpg

no need to worry about neg camber seeing as the car will be setup for drift that wont be an issue

you'd have no hope in hell of fitting em to standard AE86 hubs unless you had like 40mm spacers which would have been odd.

I was gonna swap over my entire brake assembly off my R32 onto the spoontar, which would have brought the hubs out a bit, making it far easier to fit these. Also gives me disc brakes on the front, and drum and disc skylines only brakes on the back. I'm upgrading the R32's brakes to R33 5 stud, so I'm gonna have a spare set of 4 stud ones anyways.

I guess you could still fit em on the back if you get a TA22 rear axle or whatever its called and don't shorten it http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif

update: not to be phased... just bought a set of 16" Hasemi Sport Speedsters http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif
http://www.superfunhappysliders.com/fun/shan86/hasemi_sports_16x7.jpg
7" in front
http://www.superfunhappysliders.com/fun/shan86/hasemi_sports_16x8.jpg
8" for rear...

needs a bit of work, but for 12000 Yen ($150) purchase price I'm not complaining http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I remember thinking to myself "sif I'd pay that much for a set of shitty cast rims"... little did I know if I had bought em I'd have made a packet on em sellin it to die hard fans http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif
