Yea that will fit fine unless you are super low, and then the tires will rub on the front fender liners because they are a little tall. 245/40 and a 5mm spacer would be more what I would do. Just skip the spacer if you are more performance oriented than looking flush. If your car is lowered, I would highly suggest the 18x10 +36 or 19x10 +40 with a 265 or 275 tire. Those will require rolled fenders but be on a whole nother level of awesome.

can i put 255/35 R19 on my Advan RS 19x9+38 without scratching?

J8635621 09-26-2010 01:48 AM

Yes but as I said to the last guy, 255 is pretty tall and with the lower offset wheels/lowered suspension it can rub on the front fenderliner. Most people don't have a problem but then again some people do and I don't want people to be surprised if it happens. 265/30 would be fine.

Hey guys, I need some help:

I want to adjust my camber to give my car a more aggressive stance. I'm pretty sure that our cars have adjustable camber to an extent, but would it be enough to give an 8 that "stanced" look? Could anyone provide me with a better insight on what camber to run that will give my car an aggressive appearance without totally hindering performance?

This is tiltmode's car; this is kind of what I'm going for. I think it looks awesome. Can a stance similar to that be achieved without a camber kit?

J8635621 09-26-2010 07:01 PM

I don't understand your question. He doesn't have a camber kit. Camber doesn't give it a stance afaik.

Grog 09-26-2010 07:07 PM

Yeah sorry, that's my own fault I don't know a thing about camber or stance in general. Basically I just want more of that "tilt" in my wheels that gives it a more aggressive look. I always thought that this was influenced by camber since I always hear about people making their cars look more aggressive with "camber kits".

So how is a stance like that achieved without camber? Is it all influenced by offset?:dunno:

Using camber to make wheels fit is stupid :)

Camber is determined by the needs of the tire/suspension to get the rubber to the road....

If you pick the correct offset..the rims will fit with the correct camber

Well my wheels as of right now are a perfect fit. +31 all around (10mm spacers) with 245/40/18's on S-Techs with stock shocks. I just want them to look more aggressive without changing the offset. Impossible?

J8635621 09-26-2010 07:40 PM

Camber is the tilt of the wheel. We don't need camber kits unless the car is obscenely low.

Your wheels don't fit perfect if you feel the need to look "more aggressive." Tiltmode had that much camber out of necessity. If you get more negative camber then your wheels will be more "sunken" and then you will need wider spacers.

Moral of the story, I think you need to learn the definitions of those words and then the implications of their use.

I believe I was on the right track, though I'm well aware that I'm not an expert on this subject. I haven't researched this mainly because I don't need to do this out of necessity, but for looks and looks only. A buddy of mine threw a camber kit on his Integra and treated it like it was nothing: "Oh yeah, I threw on the kit with a buddy of mine and that was that", and now he's got a much nicer stance. It can't be complicated.

My wheels already stick out of the fender a good bit; would they really look so "sunken in" if I ran just enough camber to give them an aggressive tilt?

J8635621 09-26-2010 08:12 PM

I'm not trying to be a dick, it's just that you aren't really saying things in an understandable fashion (to me at least).

1. 9+31 with 245s should not stick out beyond the fenders. You said they fit perfectly like 3 posts ago? Are you not lowered or something?

2. Putting more than necessary negative camber is sort of retarded. It doesn't give you a cool stance. It just wears out your tires.

J8635621 09-26-2010 08:16 PM

Camber kits don't work on our type of suspension. We have an adjustable suspension from the factory, but if you want more adjustability you don't get to pay $100-200 like them. You get to pay >$600 for the adjustable arms that JIC or Megan Racing makes. PS I'm still not getting what you mean by stance. Do you mean better wheel fitment, like it allowed his stuck out past the fenders setup to be flush? They aren't interchangeable words in my dictionary. I've been wrong before though.

Thanx, would it be too wide if i run 265 f&r? i do track my car sometimes.

J8635621 09-26-2010 08:27 PM

That's for you to decide. It's sort of course dependant. short with lots of turns = wider tire and long straightaways dont need as much. 265/30 may cut it a little close and need the fenders rolled.

Well a "perfect fit" is obviously subjective, but to me it meant having my fender gap filled without rubbing or rolling fenders. I'm lowered on S-Techs. Dunno if this would be the best picture to show how far they stick out, but here's what it looks like right now.

When I say stance I am referring to nothing other than the offset and camber of one's wheels. Like, to me, having a fender gap filled with your wheels poking out just a bit with a little bit of tilt to them would be considered a "nice stance", to me at least. Isn't that what stance is all about?

Also, you're not being a dick. You've helped me with all of my other wheel offset issues and you're helping me here as well. I'm just confused since camber seems like such a simple thing to adjust, and I don't get how it wouldn't look good... :(

J8635621 09-26-2010 08:36 PM

If you think it would look good, then go for it. Just because I don't understand doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. If you don't rub, then putting more negative camber will just make it less flush looking.

To me, stance is more of a wheels + ride height + overall car attitude type of thing.

Has anyone tried these? I'm looking at Michelin Primacy MXM4 it's a new tire that is symmetrical, so it can be rotated from side to side not just front to rear.

J8635621 09-29-2010 10:04 PM

Look in the calling all tires thread

Atilla 10-02-2010 05:22 PM

:lol: @ j

i knew it would eventually get to you...

...it's pretty ridiculous now...

JustinsFDpoweredFC 10-02-2010 07:16 PM
