22" 360 Forged wheels going in 4 surgery... Going Wider ↔️

Sim-Sima · 07-06-2014, 02:06 PM

Dropped off my wheels this week to go wider in front and back. Old setup was 22x9 w/2.5" lip and 22x10.5 w/3.5 lip. Running 265/35/22 and 295/30/22. The staggered setup was for a Range Rover offset so I had to use 30mm spacers in the rear. I found a guy selling some 22" replacement lips and pulled the trigger... Before pics

I don't care for the chrome, so I'm thinking powder coat gloss black lips..

What's up with those taillights? They are half black half red.

Haha. That was an older pic, I bought the laser cut tail light tint and it peeled off when I drove.. Now I just had them painted with VHT night tint

Next step to drop it with H&R 1.2 kit w/ self leveling... After I lowered it the airbags were fillin up and I grabbed a quick pic of it

skunkd · 07-18-2014, 05:53 AM

why no spacers in the rear?

Sim-Sima · 07-20-2014, 09:04 PM

They sit pretty flush with fenders already. I might do 7mm or 10mm in the rear after drop and alignment.

Lostx89xSoulz · 09-09-2014, 11:20 AM

Nice... Let me know if you get tired of the setup...

also what u do with the 30mm spacers?

Sim-Sima · 09-16-2014, 06:12 PM

Still got the 30 mm H&R spacers. I paid 145 w/shipping. Let me know if your interested... I'll let em go for $100.

Sim-Sima · 09-16-2014, 06:16 PM

Decided that the black lips although looked great, it made the overall diameter of the wheels look small b/c it blended in with the tires.. I decided to try plastidipping the lips in gunmetal gray with gloss finish.

Sim-Sima · 09-16-2014, 06:24 PM

I only did the RT side. I might redo them to color match the Titanium Silver..... (Not feeling the gunmetal color). I also had the side body moldings painted.

BensonTT · 09-18-2014, 10:44 AM

They still look small... lol
