When you say loaded down, do you mean 4 people, and luggage?

Do your tires clear the fender when loaded down with 4 people?

I had a WRX 5-speed transmission in the back seat and a flywheel, clutch assembly, and other junk in the trunk. Probably was around 300 lbs worth of stuff between the trunk and the back seat. The rear fender lip was around an inch below the top of the tire, so it was perfect for looking at the clearance between the inside of the fenderlip and the side of the tire. Also, I was running about -1.3 deg of negative camber on the rear wheels at that time. If I were running less camber, there would have been even less clearance.

SolarSVX what you are looking to buy are Axxis Se7en MODs not the same wheel as me. Mine are the old style a lot less ricey looking without that big ugly lip. Just plain Old Axxis Se7ens are on my SVX.

Dr Outback, No one ever rides in the back of my SVX so I have no idea, nor do I "LOAD" my car with anything. I got a Ford Festiva beater for that.
and actualy for the last year my car has been in a corner of a heated garage awaiting a custom body kit and paint----- See Thread: "Bolt on Side Skirts" for more details.
When I was driving my car I baby it. Every signifigent little crack in the pavement or pot hole gets a full on stop. I dont drive fast around turns and beat it like It's a ralley car either. but under normal driving 55-75 on the highway and 25 through town I have had absolutly no rubbing at anytime.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, it does. I'll try to find a wheel with a little higher offset.

Rota's are replicates of Work Emotions CR Kai's... used on many SCCA racing-spec cars. Not that it makes them that much better... does give me bragging rights.

All these pictures do is make me want an SVX even more.:)

How much? Where did you get them? Do they make them in a 17"? What is the offset? Do they rub at all? Did you have to roll the fender? If they only come in 18" what size tire do I have to buy to keep them close to stock diameter?

i just started a new thread on these
 

but It cant hurt to post a pic here too..
17x8s , not too heavy, good offset

Dayle, how much are you selling those for? I also might be placing a big order from you soon :D .



dustin

Earl has none but you may want to ask Dayle :D

Wow. They actually fit. Offset does look fine. Interesting how the wheels have a much different appearance on an SVX than on a Mustang.

Dammit :D I always get them confused!!
