- Corey.FI-
- No you did it wrong.
Hey guys.
So we're here and it is episode two of the build
that hasn't actually even started yet
because we got old, and trusty here
(knocking)
that needs a whole bunch of small things,
but actually needs a lot of things.
And because I'm not going to do any of it,
I have brought the classic.
- Corey.FI.
- Corey.
If you guys remember, actually,
Corey did the fitment on the E30,
the sedan build that we did,
and if you remember, it was actually nothing more
than like a hazing series for like what, seven episodes?
- Yeah.
- Even the community wasn't happy.
- Yeah, I just got roasted a lot by a lot of people.
- Yeah.
Corey, he tinted the tail lights red, which nobody liked.
He spray painted the carpet black.
- [Corey] I liked that.
- Nobody liked that.
- [Alex] He spray painted the leather also black.
- [Corey] No, that wasn't me.
- [Alex] That wasn't you.
- That was Gels.
- Gels did that before-
- [Gels] I did not do that,
- Gels is working in the bay over there.
What else did you do?
You ran Silver's coil overs for a while,
on like a bajillion-
- I installed the short shifter backwards,
so you couldn't put it in reverse without unclamping
the center console.
- Yup, which was great.
Lot of confidence here,
because one thing Corey did do right,
is he did get perfect fitment on the E30.
Cause we ran like 17 by eight,
and 17 by nine or something like that.
Nobody thought it was going to fit right,
and it fit perfectly.
So in today's episode we're really kind of diving
into changing up the fitment on the 430,
when it's aired out specifically for SEMA,
because we want to try to get more of like a fender
to lipish fitment, a little bit wider tire.
So Corey's here, he is going to measure it,
but we're going to let Corey get off the stage,
so that we can introduce to you,
the person that's going to have to put up
with the rest of the details.
Banker.
Banker!
Give him the microphone.
Don't take off your shirt though.
Can you hear it going up against like hair,
(gargling)
and down his chest.
Gross.
Don't do...
Why do you have to be like that, bro?
So, no, back pocket, back pocket.
So for those that don't know,
we actually have a local shop too called Offset's Garage.
It's actually where we do a lot
of our fitment industries builds, and this is Banker.
Banker's like one of the, og's.
He comes all the way back from like custom offset's days,
and og was actually like his thing.
- Yeah.
- He used to come in whenever he wants,
leave whenever he wants,
say whatever he wanted to customers.
Can't really do that anymore.
But Banker is the man with the plan
when it comes to actually modifying everything.
So I gave him a gift.
- Yeah.
This is probably the worst gift I've ever-
- It is a great gift because there's a couple of things
that we're going to have to work through,
specifically what we need to fix in the next six weeks.
Would you like the list chronologically or alphabetically?
- Chronologically.
- Okay, so first things first,
we have to change out the entire seats
because the seats are super-duper rough.
Steering wheel has to come out
'cause we have exotic car gear making us a new one.
The center console has to come out,
exotic car gear gave us another one.
And then there's some smaller stuff too.
But we only have to completely rewire
the air suspension system though.
- [Banker] Rewire, or re plumb?
- Re plumb, and re-establish new compressors,
and the new management system.
'Cause we got partnered up with Accuair
because Accuair is back into the fray
with some new systems, and so we're going to be
taking the old system out, and putting the new system in,
and then we're going to be comparing the two.
This is why they have Ferrari mechanics.
The buttons right here.
It's right.
Hold on.
It's right, it's right there.
- Oh, it's way in there.
- Yeah.
See it's all the way over on the richer.
Yeah, so this actually isn't too bad,
but it takes three minutes to air up,
and it kind of looks like booty cheeks.
So we need to make this cool, and Acura's got cool setup.
They like, they like cool, but it can't be wood.
So you got to do something else.
I don't care what it is.
- I have some ideas.
- This is kind of, you know, Instagram doesn't see this,
but I do.
That's a line.
That's an airline.
- I just wanted to reiterate that I had nothing to do
with the original install of the air in this car.
- No, you didn't, they did.
Where's Dakota and Gels?
Gels!
- I didn't run the air lines,
branded title did.
- No, they, he ran it.
I don't know what he's talking about.
And there's some like rusty bolts here on the diffuser,
that we kind of got to figure out.
But besides that, steering wheel, center console,
air management, wheels, tires, fitment max,
new frunk in six weeks.
- Everything but the Ferrari part should go really well.
- Hell yeah.
- Like it's expired six months ago.
- So I know my plates expired six months ago.
I just have not updated them yet
because COVID, because...
All right, I don't know why I haven't updated it.
But, so now that we're done and we've introduced
the entire series of what we have to do,
the first thing that we're going to do is measure
for the actual wheels because we're getting new wheels
put on this car and it's a surprise
as to what it actually is.
My breathing stopped for a second.
That's why you saw the pause.
Have you ever seen a buffer in real life?
That's what just happened.
It was like real life.
COREY!
- Oh, okay.
- Don't hold it like that.
A lot of faith in this one.
- Okay.
- We can do it.
I'm really excited.
Do you need anything from me?
- No, I got, I got...
This is a performance tool, caliper, performance tool.
- Corey can measure wheels.
That's about it.
But banker can figure the rest out over the next six weeks.
Ready to get started?
- Yeah.
I got my tape measure.
- Wheels, tires, suspension,
fitmentindustries.com.
And you're going to use the calculators on the website.
- Yes.
- Because that's what makes it easy.
- Actually, it really does make it easy.
I am definitely not that smart.
In case you couldn't tell from the previous interactions
between him, I, and you, but yeah,
the calculators really, really are helpful.
You just plug some numbers in, it gives you information.
You use that information to buy wheels,
tires, and suspension.
Go us.
- All right, Corey, good luck.
- So we already know the measurements for these sizes
because obviously we had them made.
So we're taking those same measurements,
and really the only thing we're trying to solve for here,
is how can we pull the wheel out a little bit,
when we're all the way aired out.
So these original wheels were measured at ride height.
They were measured to sit flush at ride height.
What we didn't really take into account for though,
is that when you air it out,
especially on a vehicle like this,
it really sucks those wheels up into that fender well,
and creates this kind of excess, negative camber
that you're seeing here.
So really all we're trying to do measure this gap here,
in between the fender liner, and the lip of the wheel,
and then we're just gonna push that outer lip
out a little bit, maybe mess with the offset a little bit,
but realistically,
this is the only portion we need to measure right now.
So it should be pretty simple.
Really only took this out because it...
Almost blew my cover.
Only took this out because it makes him
think I'm kind of silly.
That keeps his expectations of me low.
This is what we're really going to use.
So Banker called it a caliper,
I've always known these as micrometers,
call it what you want,
but really all we got to do, zero it.
Trying to read this in millimeters, not inches.
(loud machinery)
Sweet.
This is what we do now.
I got to get comfy here.
Like I said, we're going to measure this top portion,
and this side portion,
and then we're also going to take into account
the thickness of the fender,
and then reach up in behind there to make sure
that the role of the fender isn't filled.
That's something that a lot of exotic, and European cars do.
They will actually put like a bead of caulk back there,
so that you can't roll it,
and you actually have to pull the fender out.
That makes it more difficult, obviously.
So you always want to aim for a car that doesn't have that,
and luckily this car does not.
It has a nice, just sheet metal roll,
just like a 2002 Toyota Camry.
Yeah, bud.
All we're going to do is go to the very top of the lip,
and pull it into the closest point of the fender.
I don't really know what the technical term for that is.
But here we go.
So that equals 25.61 millimeters.
25.6 millimeters is the distance
that we are trying to close right here.
Burnout tires to Michelin Pilot, Super Sports,
obviously a much better tire.
That also means that the sidewall is a little bit thicker,
which just means that we need to account for that
a little bit more when we're putting this together.
So knowing that the sidewall is actually
not going to curve in as hard as these do,
all I'm going to do is subtract a couple of millimeters
from that, it's usually about four to five millimeters
at that sidewall, we'll have a variance.
We'll take that 25, we'll call it 21 millimeters.
And then that's how far it will want to pull that out.
All I'm gonna do now is I'm going to stick this portion
up by the tire, by where that quarter panel,
and back bumper connect,
to make sure that we still have enough clearance there,
and then as long as we're good to go there,
take the four millimeters off, put it down to 21.6,
stick that in there, and that puts us right at the fender.
So we should be sitting real pretty there again.
Again, It is normally a lot harder to measure for wheels,
than just figuring out what this distance is.
The only reason it is so simple right now,
is because the manufacturer already has our numbers
from this whole setup, they have the offset,
they have the lip size, they have the inner barrel size.
So really all we need to do is get them
this distance to close.
They'll take that calculation.
We should just be pushing the lip out a little bit,
but I know that those do usually come in standard sizes.
So there could be a little bit of a variance,
and that's when...
(loud machinery)
That's when we'll just have to mess with the offset.
(loud machinery)
But yeah, for the most part,
that's really all we have to do.
So we got the back all done here.
We're going to be pushing that out,
I believe it was 21.6 extra millimeters,
and then let's go get the front.
Corey.FI on Instagram.
I'm determined to get that plug in there,
as much as Alex does.
Turn it on, get it to zero, move it over.
It brings us to about 19.89 millimeters,
and then with that again,
we just need to take that tire variance in.
So we'll cut three millimeters off the front,
just to make up for that increased sidewall.
And that'll put us at just about 16 extra millimeters
in the front.
So we'll be pulling out the front 16 millimeters,
closer to the fender,
and we'll be pulling out the back of 21 millimeters,
closer to the fender.
And like I said, the wheel company is just going
to take those measurements,
but they have these measurements already.
They're just going to take account for that difference.
Get the closest available size up for the lip,
and then just account for that offset a little bit,
to make up any difference.
And that's how you measure for three piece wheels,
when you already have three piece wheels, it's pretty easy.
We have done a video telling you exactly how to measure
for wheels before.
It goes over everything from backspacing, to ride height,
lip size, diameter, width.
It goes over everything you will need.
Incorporating the tire into there.
If you want, Gels already did that video,
you can find it right here.
We also have an entire like fitment calculator
built into our website.
So you can take the information you learned from this video.
You can take the information you learned from Gels' video,
and you can kind of put it all together,
and then use these calculators that we have built
into our website.
It's going to take your backspacing,
tell you what the total width should be,
or it'll take your width,
tell you what your backspacing should be,
and given the offset,
you really just have to plug in a couple numbers,
and then it will give you the rest.
As long as you kind of know generally what you're going for.
Super helpful, super useful.
I definitely recommend it if you're trying
to size up your own wheels.
Can always check out the gallery,
if you're just looking for kind of just a ground level,
basic place to start with.
Gallery is always super useful.
Otherwise, like I said, check out Gels' video,
check out the fitment calculators,
and YouTube can spec out your own
three-piece set of wheels for your car.
- Thank you so, so much.
And if you're looking for wheels and tires, suspension,
you know where to go fitmentindustries.com.
Plus, the calculators that we use to actually figure out
what fits on this car, are the same exact calculators
that you can use on the website.
So if you go to the website, you go to tools, calculators,
and you can figure out what wheels
are going to fit your ride,
and also if you have already had an aftermarket set,
if you change around the offset,
what is that going to do to the overall fitment
of the setup?
So it's actually a pretty neat tool that you can use,
but if you are looking for wheel, and tire packages,
suspension, accessories, all that sort of good stuff.

Goodbye.
Come on.
Hey, come on.
I'll come over there.
It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.
Hi, hi, hi, hi.
