Well I cracked and dented two of my enkies on my corsica in the last Auto-X I went to. And now Im looking to get some different ones. Only size that will work right is a 16x8. I am running a 215/55/r16 right now on rolled fenders and that is what I am planning on running again. I am not sure of the offset I have now I need to measure it as soon as I get a chance. Ill post some pics of the car up when I have a chance to take some. It and its 4dr curbed fury.

Well I did like them. But they were heavy.The model I had was rsf2 and they were pretty good looking. My car is silver with black molding. So my color choices are kinda limited to Black, silver, white, and maybe bronze. Just looking to see what your guys opinions on wheels are. BTW the car isnt riced out just simple really. Like I said Ill try to get some pis up as soon as possible.

You autocross a fucking Corsica? Holy shit and piss.

And it's Enkei, not ENKIE. After you get some new ENKIES you should pick up some Twinkies too.

I was thinking the same thing. I would have at least went for a Beretta GTU/GTZ instead of a Corsica.

Its a Corsica LTZ, limited model. Sorry about the spelling. And yes I do auto-X it. Its pretty fun. And and a corsica is shorter than a Beretta just so you know, and also has more rear passenger room. I did have a quad cam motor(basic swap nothing special) but it was a gas hog and had driveablity issues so I put back in the 3.1, of course after I put cam, ported manifolds, and roller rockers.

Looking to get a bigger brake upgrade after I get some new wheels. And also a rear K-brace,and a set of coilovers.

Not really sure. One bolt pattern fits the FC and the other fits 5 lug VW, Subaru, Chevy FWD, and a couple of fords. Ill measure them in the morning. As far as stock size. It was a 14inch wheel. Not really sure about the width I was running perelli 205/45/r14 if that is any help on that.

As far as flushness it really cant be done the body has to much of a curve to it. I am running slighly rolled fenders to accomidate with how the set now. I can roll them more if I have to. I wouldnt mind running a little more lip but I am not sure how much I can run.

As far as clearence issues. I have about 1/2 an inch from the bottom of the spring prech on the front, and about 3/4 of an ich from the spring. On the rear I have about an inch or so from the shock and before I rolled the fenders was having slight rubbing of the side walls when turning hard, or had to many passengers in the rear. Nothing major.

Ok to make sure I get the back spacing measurment right can someone explain the proper method of measuring it. I am pretty sure I will mess it up.

Well I found the patter is 5-100 If I am reading the site right. I am a wheel selection n00b. So please pardon my ignorance.

Dunlop

Falken
Azenis ST-115

Falken
GRB FK-451

Goodyear
Eagle F1 GS-D3

I am also looking at some wheels, but nothing has caught my eye really.

Ive been strolling a few and here are my favs right now

http://1010tires.com/wheel.asp?wheelbrand=ADR&wheelmodel=M%2DSport+%2D+Hyper+Black

And what the site is telling me is that I can fit up to a 17x7 and I am not sure they will fit unless they make a really really low profile tire for it.

What I am not even kidding. There are alot of people who do the same thing as me. With a lil cash they can be track worthy. There are a few companies that supply your usual parts and everything. Berettas have alot of interchanglable parts to the corsica, and like the rear suspension of the beretta is better then on the corsica so most people swap in that along with Eibach Spring and Koni shocks.

and a few others. Like I said I am just doing thos for fun, and whats so wrong with that.

I don't know, I can't tell if it's lifted, or if it's just a piece of shit. I'm kind of leaning towards piece of shit though.
