I wonder how long it took those officers to figure out what they were looking at....

Aight I think I'm going down with 18x9.5 w/ +25 offset on 255x35x18's. I like Rex's look and think 255 will get some better numbers than the 245 performance wise. Did anyone have any issue with this tire profile braking or performance wise? It states on 1010 tires 3-4% more on the speedometer will show which is fine with me as it's already 2mph under what the speedometer shows according to radars in town that pick up my speed.

I know I'm looking at some fender rolling with a 1-2" drop, hopefully no fender pulling. Let me know your experience on this tire/wheel size guys

^What wheel are you looking at?

You'll have to roll the fenders as well as trim the plastic in the back. How much negative camber are you running? The more you run, the less work you have to do.

yeah you'll have to roll all four fenders, shave the tabs in the rear. And if you want to save a little camber wear get a slight pull on the rears

I'm looking at the deal from Endless on the Forgestar F14's, 18x9.5 +26mm offset (can't do 25, 26 is the lowest). I don't mind running negative camber say at most around -2 degrees. Question though, how bad for those who have run negative camber past -1 is the uneven tread wear (no toe)? Also, does the front end need to have less offset to align up with the rear? I'm not going to re-re-research through the zillion threads trying to find an answer to this after I've been reading till my head is spinning for the past month on wheels. I'm guessing 5-8mm less offset on the front to align up with the rear is my guess.

I've seen people here who've run 255/35 plus +30 offset with just a fender roll so I have a hard time believing a low profile 255/35/18 would cause that much more of an issue with just +4 mm lower in offset. I'm not slamming the car down; perhaps 1"-1.5" drop from stock depending on what I want. A roll I can do, but I will not resort to pulling the fenders and messing up the paint. A co-worker has a lifter in his garage and fender roller so I'm set there and plan on heating them up to prevent any paint cracks. I can do some shaving under the fenders so long the metal exterior portion itself doesn't need to be touched.

I plan on aligning the wheels up (camber/toe) myself after setting the suspension up for around 1-2k miles then take it in to shop to fine tune the alignment after the suspension has set in.

Let me know what you think, thanks.

i belive the forgestars are not offered in .5 of an inch so you might have to get 10s like paris and matt

9.5's are available for the 18", not for the 19". Rishie posted the sizes available in the thread on these wheels.

I personally think it's about 5mm difference front to rear for flushness. Just get the front offset all around and run 5mm spacers that cost $10. That's my .02

Vlaze

iTrader: (14)

Yea...I've heard mixed feelings on spacers. Performance/handling/safety wise I'm not so keen on them reducing the amount of thread I can engage in for the lugs. Perhaps they're fine with a spacer I suppose..I don't exactly have experience using them on a car and prefer fresh installs.

10mm isnt badd, and if you went with fatter spacers as long as they a legit brand and are hubcentric, but if you get the right offset youll be good

J8635621

iTrader: (10)

I've had 5mm spacers on the back of my car for a while now with no problems. 10mm spacers don't always work due to the stock studs hitting on the back of the wheel. I've got a pair I'm waiting to try out.
