Hey Grog, just did a quick measurement and I was way off on clearance... looks like 3.3" at lowest spot. Still cant go over any type of speedbump but it's more manageable than I thought.

Negro pulled out a yardstick!!! Damn son edit: Ross, to add insult to injury here my apartment just put in speedbumps where I leave the building. Now I HAVE to go the way I showed you.

I was going to say, 1.5" requires serious dumpage lol.

You didn't find the answer to this question because you don't understand what offset means I guess. The "answer" is everywhere in this thread lol.

Like Rev said....10.5 +22 is not gonna happen without lots of work and having your car lowered to the ground.............................and 275s on those? That makes me question your sanity.


Im still new to aggressive fitments so forgive my poor judgement lol. As of right now im just searching and seeing what specs people are running and seeing how i want my set up to look like. :wallbash:

Grog 02-23-2011 11:57 AM

I managed to find an old picture in the thread that I bought my TE37 reps from, this guy is 18x9 +15 and it looks like it worked out pretty well... I'll only be 1mm higher lol

He doesn't look too low either so I think I just might go with this offset. Wish I could see pictures from other angles though. I PMed the guy about them so hopefully he still lurks

Also thanks a lot for clearing that up Ross. Gotta zig zag those speed bumps or do you just have to avoid them completely? haha

If the speed bump is taller than 3 inches, I will get stuck. Most are, so I avoid speed bumps altogether. It sucks having to throw it in reverse with cars behind you going "WTF!?"

Svenni_Tiger 02-23-2011 08:50 PM

will this fit?

willing to roll fenders btw.

20x8.5 front and 20x9.5 rear both with 40mm ofset and 245.30.20 tires?

Here in Vegas, almost all of the casino parking garages have speed bumps in it. It really sucks if i really have to park there because of our friends and family from California who visits us once in a while and they didn't drive to come here. Both of my cars are pretty slammed. I just drive very, very slow over speed bumps. The vehicles behind me could wait and i don't care if they blow their horn on me. I'm just protecting the underneath of my cars. :)

Fronts will fit no problem; you can fit 265/30's in the rear with just rolled fenders and shaved rear fender tabs if you want...

can i do this with tanabe nf's?

with 245.30.20 in rear. streched?

J8635621 02-24-2011 07:57 AM

245s will work but are unnecessarily thin.

If you want wheels with stretched tires, then by all means go for it, I was merely telling you that you can put a 265 on there no problem.

Quick question. Looking to get a aggressive fitment for my summer rims. 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rears with +22 all around. Will these fit with a rolled fender ? Apparently from what tiltmode told me its going to be alot of work, but how much work exactly. I wouldnt mind going with a higher offset but the rims im getting (volk ce28n genesis) only come in +22 for 19s :(.

Ross_Dawg 02-24-2011 10:06 PM

It would be MUCH easier to fit 9.5 +22 all around... assuming you have coilovers and access to alignment, you can fit 9.5 +22 all around with 245's with just rolled fenders and shaved rear tabs.

You can throw the 10.5 on the rear with a 255 if you pull the fenders and add camber though.

Rotary-RX8 02-24-2011 10:11 PM

I was interested in running 275 for the rear. I want something really wide. But i dont want stretched tires at all. I want a perfect fit if that makes sense.

I might consider 9.5 all around though but i wanted to go staggered :dunno:
