Anyone Seen A Widebody Kit For Stagea?

[yokotas13]

you dont have to downgrade your brakes

buy NEW wheels

not used!!!

You can order a HIGH disk to clear all your brake needs

i have GTR brakes on my cedric, and a High disk clears with PLENTY of room

I don't understand. My brakes are quite a bit larger than GTR brakes. What is 'high disk'??

I was referring to new wheels when I suggested 19's. Please xplain in simpler terms - dumb it down for me, if you would be so kind.

[yokotas13]

most wheels have 3 iffered faces

Low, Mid, High

High disk has the most clearance from the mounting surface to the back of the face of the wheel in order to clear large brakes.

yuo can only do this when you order new wheels though

and not on knockoff 1 piece wheels

mostly only 2 or 3 piece wheels

[rb26stagea]

Understood. So there is a way to get some dish happening. Thanks for the info.

If you're looking at something that will clear the brakes I'd be considering more of a "race" style wheel, with a real concave look to it (in a low offset obviously).. like the GTR ones. Maximum clearance that way

[rb26stagea]

...and that's the issue right there. Already have GTR rims, but would like some dish if it's economically viable.

[jasevr4]

Sorry, I mean "GTR offset" wheels.. (hate the term, but you get the idea)

The aftermarket ones.. The more insane stuff

18x10 +5.. That sort of thing.

[yokotas13]

offfset has NO bearing on the brake clearance

Face design has 100%

offset does howvere determine spring/shock or coilover clearance

[rb26stagea]

I see.... sorry, should have actually read your post. I get it.

I'm thinking a polished lip with black centres.....I think it looks hot on white/silver (Thanks for the inspiration, leetom!)

of course offset affects brake clearance - it is the main determinant of clearance. Dish = difficult to clear brakes, you can't have it both ways.

Which makes dish kind of like foot binding - reduced practicality for looks

I hate touchpads.

....or, you can increase the wheel diameter, and find a compromise between dish and clearance, which is what I think I will do when the time comes.

no your completely and utterly wrong

face design is the only influence on brake clearance

the face doesnt move when you raise or lower the offset, the barrel does

[jasevr4]

I understand what you're saying Grant, I was just more so referring to how the Jap wheels are being made nowadays. The concave "GTR face" is all the rage, and you get this by having a low offset.

[yokotas13]

with one piece wheels yes

but we were talking about 2 peice wheels in this instance

and even then, the face design of that concave wheel normally doenst change the clearance.

Its the design of hte hub mounting surface length to the spokes that affects it.

lol, you're a tool.

offset DOES affect brake clearance, becuase say a TE37 at 18x9" +15 offset, and at 18x9" +40 offset, the spokes arent going to be anywhere near as concaved on the later size, therefore reducing brake clearance.

and who was talking about 2 piece rims? its rims in general that is being talked about.

you really need to get off your high horse about rims, because all it does is make you look like a dickhead.

PS. that widebody stag is hot.

gets some more popcorn cause this is entertaining

mmm just think about a turbo upgrade though - twin TD05H's

haha, gl bro, your Stagea cant get more nuts then it already is
