hey whats up guys,
I just got my very first soarer 2 weeks ago. Big upgrade from my first car that I got a year ago my 90 Honda Accord beater wit over 300k. My soarer is called Alexia and she has 80k and I got her for $5500. I have a few questions maybe u guys can help me out.

Do the back seats pull back so you can get toe the trunk? and also tuck away the middle seat belt?

Wat are the biggest size rims that a soarer wheel well take?

My seat belt does not return into a coil it just stays loose do I need to buy a whole new seat belt system?

Any help would be great guys!

Hi Peter and (Alexia), Welcome. Sounds like you got a bargain, Do you have any pics, I don't think the seats come forward but the rest of the stuff some of the guys would know

Welcome Peter

I do know that some people have managed to get 20" rims on their soarers (however personally I think they look WAY too big for the car, i would much rather some 18's to replace my 17's). As for the biggest size...??
Sounds like a real bargain for what your getting mate, I managed to get my V8 for $6500 a couple months ago and I was wrapped.
As for your other questions, I'll leave them for some more experienced people to answer.
Good Luck!

Peter!! No, the petrol tank sits between the rear seat and boot, no access. As far as the rims go, I think 20" should be the biggest that would fit comfortably.

And you can go up to 11" wide on the back, depending on the offset. Front maxes out at around 9.5 to 10" I think.

Peter!!! I think the perfect size wheel for the soarer is 19". 20's just look too big.
Heres a link to Jose's car with some stunning wheels!

I like my 18" rims, when I lower her they will fill up the tire wells good, while still providing me w/ a little ride, I did say little, hehe.

I have 18's on mine right now too. Theyre a good size and not as $$ as 19's, but the 19's just give it so much more bling.

Yup, big difference from 17" to 18" even. Of course if you have the money you can modify the suspension to improve things.

Hey Peter! She's a butte! It'll look way better when you loose the fugly factory wheels. I've got 17" on mine. They're not much but better than the ones it came with. Maybe I'll see you driving around town sometime! (We're kinda hard to miss)

Here's my car with 17"
I've seen these wheels on a couple of other member's cars as well. They are called RZ-5's I think. I like polished aluminum too but I think you see them too much. Besides these are super light!
