hardcore euro wheels? - Page 13 - The Ford Focus Forum

**JFord** · 12-24-2008, 12:47 PM

Thus my " "-ing the term "euro" is over used and people aim for it to much. It's more about the look and quality then the origin. I completely agree. Before I made an edit I said, I just I like width vs spacers to achieve poke and I like flat spoke and offset vs curved spokes to achieve dish. That's the look I dig most (what's my "hardcore euro") it's nothing against you, your car or your rims. All which are dope.

Thanks Davor...its taken about 2 years to get that look so far..tuckvspoke..will be sad to ditch that setup for something totally different in spring...

o2, what are the spec on those wheels?

**crzyprazer316** · 12-24-2008, 03:07 PM

hehe i'm hopin my wheels will do that all the way around

18x8 with a 42 offset

goooooooooooo ats's!!!!!

**ZX3TUNING** · 12-24-2008, 04:17 PM

i see some 195/40/18s in your future to make that look right!

**theindustrialist** · 12-24-2008, 04:29 PM

edit:wrong thread

**DeadlyDean** · 12-24-2008, 04:44 PM

just as i thought, 18x8 all around. would anyone happen to know if o2 has a wheel spacer in the rear? it honestly does not look like x8 in the rear would stick out that much, or am i just blind lol

They look nice. They make your ST look really sharp... but they are in no way "hardcore". Hardcore, as in "poke"... poking out from the wheel well with a tire stretched over it.

You know why euro tuner dudes stretch? There's a (an outdated, perhaps) tread-width rule in their version of our DOT regs... their version states that no portion of the tire's tread can be exposed past the vertical fenderline... but there's nothing in the rules about wheel width... see where this is going?

oh ok, thanks guys, i have learned a lot from this thread

**DeadlyDean** · 12-25-2008, 04:13 PM
