Planning on picking these up for "BuTTa" next week. Going with 17x7 5x114.3, 40mm bore, with 225/45-17's



Your thoughts?


This weekend have to replace CV/Axle.

 

nice! my friends vw 1981 has borbets and i believe they came as stock wheels! those look awesome look like g37 rims and i love g37 rims! how much are they?

 

Who's Butter?

 

His car...."Smooooth as BuTTa" lol

 

like

 

This is the look; w/15's

 

It dayem sho' ain't PARKAY;

 

Are you lowered? Definitely need some lower-age on the 3rd gen with aftermarket wheels. Kind of looks silly otherwise IMO with all the massive fender gap.

And is your car white or the cream color?

They're not black... more of a Hyper-silver

Yes, I'm dropping her w/Ksports 2" drop; yes, she's Butter cream. (pearl white)

May even paint 'em when I put the body kit on her; everything same color as car.

 

120 is a good price! and i would say do it!

 

I'M ACTUALY PICKING THEM UP FROM A FRIEND; FOR $250 FOR THE SET.

 

even better! do they have tires on em too?

 

No, I wish ...., THAT WOULD BE A BARGAIN!

 

lol yea still a good price tho enjoy em

 

If I drop 2 inches; could I run on 215/50/17' on 17"wheels, without rubbing?

 

i dont know if that would work, i was lowered 2.5"/2.0" and on stock rims with 205/65/15's the front tires went into the fender

right before the car blew up i got a set of Rays TE-37 and put 235/45/17's on them. never got to run them because i couldnt get the right wheel spacers for the rear, but even with a test fit on the fronts it was a pretty tight fit

 

You ain't cooking with margarine...straight butta!!

 

I guess only a NYer could relate

But for real; looks like straight butta 2 me:



After doing the injector change; runs smooth as it to!

Hence the name "BuTTa"

 

Not even I would expect either of one those to work. Guess I'll go with 215/45/17's & play it safe. Cheers!

 

Picked up wheels today; the colour is better than it appeared; more of an dark gunmetal metallic gray,that picks up the pearl coat almost perfect. cant wait to get'em mounted, but I guess I'll have to need tires.

 

40mm bore? Way too small for any Maxima. They won't fit if they really have 40mm bores.

 

I guess I'll find out tomorrow, if not they may have be bored. I thought I already did the research on these and we could use 35-40mm, no?

 

Nissan hub bore is 66.1, make sure you are not confusing the Hub bore for the Offset. Im not sure of the exact offset for a 3rd gen but anywere from +50 to +25 with most reasonably width wheels will fit. The lower the offset the better it will look.

 

Hmm! Most TireRack's applications fo rmy vehicle say 40mm

 

Hope it works out for you, should look NICE on the ride....

 

In for installed pics...

 

Thanks for clearing that up

Offset should be from 35-40mm, from the searching I've been doing.

 

Yeah! thanks, I got the 40mm core from my buddy; I'm sure he ment 40mm offset.

 

I will do a test fit & post pics when I get tires. But I'll be dropping her, struts /shocks, drilled & slotted rotors/cemetric pads before Install them, that way I can align at one time.

 

Going to be REAL NICE, take some before and After shots.....

 

 

DRAG DR-36 wrapped in Kumho Ecsta ASX 225/45R-17's



BuTTa's gettin' even smoother! Next springs & struts/shocks

Before:

 

Very nice. Didn't know you were still around. VE looks very clean

 

Yep, still here James! Had a few other projects before getting back on her m8! More to come!

 

Those rims are FRESH

 

 

The hub bore you said 40mm but our bore is 66 or 67 I thought might want to double check

 

Yeah, you're right they are 66.1mm, that was an old post whereas I was trying to get some Borbet wheels to fit a couple of years ago. Well of course they didn't work so I went with these ones. As It turns out I like the Drag wheels better.
