Vuster ,

What size wheel tire combo were you running before?

What did you move up to? 17"x? front/rear

[Jack Olsen]

Yeah, what widths? They look great.

(Although your ride height in the rear could probably come up a touch?)

How was your experience with Lindsey?

Is anyone running Lindsay wheels on a sock SC or Carrera flared car? Any pics?

What made you pick that width on a turbo look? I know on a narrow body, you can fit 225 and 255 on 17's like Fikse's easily. I would think on your much wider flares, these sizes would appear lost? Are the offsets of these wheels pushed out to the outer lips? Don't get me wrong, they look very nice. I'm actually thinking of picking up a another set of rims and I am looking around.

Those look fantastic!

The previous wheels were 16 x 7 and 16 x 9 with 225/55 and 245/50.

The new wheels are 17 x 8.5 and 17 x 9.5. This was the size Mike Lindsey recommended. I didn't want to go too large since I only have a fairly stock 3.2. Also since I knew I was moving to RA-1's, I figured I'd have plenty of grip. All of the additional rim width went to the inside of the rims. The wheels tuck into the fenders perfectly, no rubbing issues at all. Radial Tire, who is the largest Fikse dealer in U.S., mounted the tires and were very impressed with the fitment.

I had a great experience with Mike Lindsey. It took a while to place the initial order (Mike was on vacation) but once ordered Mike kept me informed of the progress via email. Took just about a month, as promised, to receive.

As you can see, they were packed very well. The wheels themselves show amazing craftsmanship. Well worth the wait!
