I just bought a set of Ruff racing wheels. Fronts have a 2in. lip and the rears have a 3 1/2in. lip, I think they look awesome. Best part yet is I haven't seen nor heard about anyone else with em yet. I'm the "O.G." so far...lol.

 

those have a really clean look to them! I like how they sit in the fender wells

 

musclehead how wide is ur front rims. When i look at ruff racing staggered rims they only have 18x8 in the fronts. Metallicamike check into foose nitrous. Im considering getting those on my black ws-6. 18x8.5 in fronts and 18x10s in the rear with a 3.5in lip. Getting those in chrome for 1200

 

Musclehead, are those 18x8.5 / 18x9.5 35mm offsets. I've been thinking about these for a while now but have heard that the rears might have trouble fitting on the hubs. How is the fitment?

 

The wheels are 18x8.5 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear, all 4 wheels have a 35mm offset. The only thing that needs to be done is to have the rear fender lip shaved off so it won't rub on the tires. Other than that the fitment is great.

I chose to go with nitto 555 tires. A 245/40/18 up front and a 285/35/18 in the rear. And the tires look very nice with these wheels.

 

--I looked on the Foose website and didn't see the "nitrous"??
have a link or pics?

Musclehead, nice rims, they set ya back alot?

 

I am about to get the Ruff Racing wheels the guy had above, but they are gunmetal w/ polished lip and have 245s on the front and 295s out back. My friend has had them on his 99 SS since the summer and I'm about to buy them off of him. Expect plenty of pictures in March... March hahaha

 

Those are my fav rims ever I def want to get them one day. If you dont mind, how much did they run?

 

$1700 dollars cash.

those look pretty good,

wonder if they have anything smaller than 20" though lol

 

ROH modena's have 5spokes and a deep dish.. there are also other ROH's that have deep dish style.. and are affordable

 

metallica they have them in 17's, 18's, 19's, 20's, 22's

 

Here's my Ruff Gallery

Wow I thought I was the only one :tear:

J/K, that's badass man, thanks for the pictures. Can't wait to get my 279s on.

 

pm me with a link tp see these wheels from other angles..

 

Not sure whose car this is, but its probably my favorite TA. And talk about a dish!!!! Narrowed 9" and minitub or course.

 

I think that guy chimed in one time to tell us those were like 18x13s Fikse FM10. They are sick

 

You could probably pull of an 18x11 or 18x10" deep dish like that with a narrowed rear without mini tubbing. I wonder what it costs to get a rear end narrowed like that. I think this guy converted his to a 4 link.

 

The above statement is true, I see some conflicting statements...

I'll comment on this one since I work directly with this topic everyday. Dishing and backspace are DIRECTLY correlated. There is only one way to give a wheel a deeper dish, the other consideration is more of an illusion to being deeper.

First understand that if a wheel is centered in the fender-well correctly, the center –portion of the wheel NEVER moves, it is affixed to the axle.

To create a deeper dished wheel for the brand or style you like, the ONLY way to do this is to shorten the rear end. By shortening the rear, this IS the only time you are truly moving the wheels dishing to make it deeper. You are at this time, leaving the wheel-shells still and MOVING the center inward. This is what gives you deeper dishing while retaining the wheels position the same. Could you ask for a deeper dishing on the same wheel without narrowing the rear-end, certainly, BUT you are ONLY moving the wheel shells OUT towards the outside of the car. Most do not like wheels that stick out and are not centered correctly in the fender-well.

The other method of a wheel appearing to be deeper dished (though it is NOT deeper given the same backspace and wheel width), is to build a wheels center so it is convex as in the Fiske wheels. By doing so, you are giving the wheels the illusion the wheel has a deeper dish. Once again, the true dishing or measurement from the center lug area of the wheel to the outer is NO different on a similar wheel that has the same backspace and wheel width.

We do this all the time for our customers, when the customer has not purchased aftermarket wheels yet or an aftermarket rear-end, we are able to setup some real nice custom cars with dishing that many desire.

My suggestion is if you already purchased an aftermarket rear-end, then you’re pretty much stuck to purchasing specific wheels. If you do not have a rear-end at this time but are considering wheels, purchase the wheels at the SAME time you’re purchasing a rear-end so they can be both built to custom specs. Many times, there are no extra charges to do so…and in the end; you’ll have a killer setup that many will look in awe over.

Hope this helps,

Steve
