scarslett: for the offset you can go any where between +35 to +45 w/no problem. I'm currently running +35 on 18x8.5 all around w/245/40 w/no fender modification on a lowered application. Pic's are floating around some where on this site.
mazdarx8_04: Both will fit w/265/30's (tight tho depending on drop). w/a roll and some camber. I prefer the 18's though because they're more practical and inexpensive when it comes to tires. Apparently there's a pretty noticable price difference. That is unless you really wanna go for looks n' have the cash to burn then the 19's would be my choice. |
Stock height, and how about this, just got another size, hes gonna see if he can change it. 19x9.5 +42 (265/30/19)

^That will fit fine with no rubbing.
|
anyone have pics of that setup by any chance?
|
Look up the million people with 18x9.5 +45 RPF1. Damn near the same thing. or A. Mair's RP03 are exactly that size/offset but he is lowered.

^+1
A.Mair is lowered on tein s-tech's IIRC. |

Some new goodies came in:
Attachment 265173 Attachment 265174 17.05 lbs each :yumyum::yumyum::yumyum: Gram Lights in 17x9.5 +22....thinking 255/40/17 tires all around. This will be a race setup so want to have lots of grip. Anyone tried anything wider than that in non staggered setup? Thoughts? -Adam |
clean

Thoughts??
...I really....really...really like those. There's only a select few that have 17's that i like but w/those specs it should look really good. Get em' on the car - can't wait to see em'. |

Get em' on the car - can't wait to see em'. yes I will be test fitting them shortly. Deciding on tires. but pretty sure that I will go with a 255/40/17. 265/40/17 is hard to find...and i am still not sure how it will work with racing.

I love the wheels. You should check out tiltmode43 if you want to see wide/non stagger/low offset. 10.5 +15 with 265s I think
yeah his stuff is insane...but running those setups on race tracks/autoxs may kill the sidewalls fast. god damn hes got some beautiful setups......:aroused: -Adam |
^255's will work fine on those buy why not try to find a set of 275/40/17. They are very easy to find and if you don't mind rolling your fenders, then they will fit easily.

Also, though i am not 100% sure yet, I may run R compounds, or something with that kind of grip. Decisions, decisions.... -Adam |
I run 275's all around at the track. Have been to CMP, as well as Roebling Road. No problem with running 275's all around. The car loves it ;)

My fenders are rolled already...and i drop the car very aggressively. So how much did you have to cut up your front fenders? |
I'm on 18x9.5 +45 and I did not have to roll fenders at all. With the +22 up front, you'll have some fender problems as well as some scrub radius problems, the centerline of the wheel will be too far out from the shock. If you were looking for a dedicated track wheel, should have looked for a +48 offset instead.

I will do some measurements with a 275 wide tire...its tempting. Just not sure if its worth the trouble in butchering up the fenders in my case. |

reason being after i spend huge $$$ for light rims and nice meat to put on them i dont want to pay for body mods and have weird handling problems |
^275's work great w/little fender adjustment if any.

Hey I got skipped... Any more input?
18x9.5 with a +30 offset all around. Tires are 225 by 35 in the front and 245 by 40 in the rear.. Am I going to have a problem with stock ride height? Fender rolling necissary? Thanks! |

so TopGear if we get 18x9.5 +45 front and back, what tires would look good / perform well on those, without having to do crazy cambering or roll fenders, etc.?
reason being after i spend huge $$$ for light rims and nice meat to put on them i dont want to pay for body mods and have weird handling problems Tires that look good/perform well would be the Nitto NT05, which is what i'm currently running now. If you don't heavily track and just use them for more street, the Falken Azenis RT-615 will be fine for you. Also check out the Kumho XS, and the Dunlop Direzza Star Spec's.

Why run 225's tho? TheJew is running 18x10 +30 w/225's and he cleared w/some extra space. I think he could push 255(maybe 265's) w/some camber especially if he stays at stock ride height. btw, booo staggered tire fitment.

I'm getting a used package so the 225s are already on there.. So thejew runs 18x10 with 30 offset and doesn't rub? I'm just a newby on the negative camber process, I was hoping they would sqeeze in with maybe some fender liner trimming.... I am at stock ride height |
yeah w/stock ride height you can fit damn near anything unless you're in full load (at which point i'm uncertain of because i can't remember what oem spring rates are or what it was like having stock ride height)
but cheah, 18x10 +30 w/225's work w/space to spare. You can get a roll just to be on the safe side to ensure your tire doesn't grab the fender for whatever reason. |
Nice thanks... I'm finally jumping on the concave wheel train!
