24" Wheels Thread

haha yeah I figured. So how much a difference is there between the stock eikels and these? As far as feel of weight difference, performance, feel, ride, etc? Looks for sure look great, but just curious about all the other pieces.

Oops just noticed you have a FX35 not a 50. Well, but still you probably went from a what 20 to 24 or 18 to 24 (I know the FX50 eikels are supposed the weight of a 18 normally).
yea i went from the 20 to 24. in the weight i feel a difference in take off but i had to sacrifice a little performance for looks, but i dont mind..
 
Hey guys. I've found a wheel I like for my 2012 FX. Dimensions are 24x9.5" with a +33 offset. Thoughts? From my analysis, I think it should work and the wheel should sit pretty close to flush to the inside of the fender. What do you guys think?

Do you guys know how much clearance there is behind the stock wheel and the suspension? Of the wheels I found, I would prefer to buy a set that measures 24x9.5" w/ +33 offset, which means the back of my rim would sit 2.05mm closer to the suspension. It also comes in a 25mm offset which would definitely work inside, but might push the rim out too far.
 
24x9.5" +33 offset Dub Push wheels, 285/35-24 Nitto NT 420S tires, and 5mm spacers on the front to clear the calipers. No rubbing at all. I drove about 300 miles yesterday on them, and there is zero vibrating. I was expecting to feel imperfections in the road, but somehow the ride has gotten more smooth; my mind is blown.

A better photo. Very pleased with the results. 24 inches fit nicely. Since they are black, the size doesn't look too big to me. Wouldn't want them any smaller or larger for my personal taste.

Much better view Brennan. Love the look in this picture. Thumbs Up.
 
Nice job on the wheels, man. It looks like you could squeeze some additional sweetness out of your ride with a set of lowering springs. In my opinion that would tie everything together perfectly.

Thought about going that route at all?

I would like to add lowering springs. Would definitely need to get the camber correction kit if I did, because the tires were almost $300 each. My next move is going to be to get the full OEM aero kit installed (it is in my garage), lower trim painted to match, and bumpers repainted. The customization bug has bit me again. And here I was trying to convince myself that when I bought my car, I wouldn't be doing anything to it this time.
