You are one brave manPlan on teaching my girls how to drive a stick in the goblin.
Thanks Jeff! Minor change for me: only the front wheels are 4x100, the rears are 5x114.3. BTW the engine is a lightly modded crate LHU.I refreshed the list at the top of this thread. Please help me fill in the blanks and make corrections if needed! Thanks! Keep building and posting pictures!
Those are nice looking wheels.Don't know if this is still being updated but I have a few more final specs if you all want them.
Donor Engine: 2009 SS/TC Turbocharged with forged internals, bigger turbo, cams, meth injection.
Wheels: Konig Oversteer
Front: 16x7.5 (Part No. OS67514405) 5x114.3 40mm offset 17.6 LBS
Rear: 18x9 (OS89514225) 5x114.3 22.35 LBS
Tires: Toyo R888R
Front: 225/45 r16
Rear: 265/35 r18
Weight:
Front: 17.6 + 23 = 40.6LBS a wheel
Rear: 22.35 + 27 = 49.35 LBS PER WHEEL confused: Does that seem a little bit heavy to any of you???)
The weight for the tires are what confuse me. Is it really 20+ pounds per wheel? Or is it 20+ lbs all around? Just 27 pounds a tire seems way too heavy for me.Those are nice looking wheels.
I kept finding that those larger diameter wheels started getting heavy.
I was planning on going 15in all the way around to keep the wheel weight down to the 11-12lb. range.
I know I'll be giving up some on the top end with higher freeway cruise RPM with the smaller diameter and a slightly smaller contact patch. But dropping the weight of that rotating mass was a concern for me. Benefits are likened to adding HP, suspension upgrade and gearing change in one component. There's always trade offs.
With the HP and torque you'll be making, that wheel weight shouldn't be a concern for you at all anyway.
Can't wait to see them on the car!
I am really hoping I do have none. If I have some horizontally, I'll try spacers. If I have some vertically, I'll do some surgery.List is updated with your dperkins info. Besides some of the stock wheels, you'll have the largest wheels on the list. Obviously, you're using coilovers in the rear, but I'm still wondering if you'll have any clearance issues. Hopefully not. Can't wait to see it!
Thanks. I have plenty of time but not too many staggered sets out there used in my areaWeight/performance. Also and this is just me, but an 18" wheel makes it look like overkill on the front.
