Also quick question, when comparing different size wheels and different offsets i know different size wheels and different offsets can stick out the same amount sometimes. My quesiton is does wheel diameter (ex. 18 vs 19) have any effect when comparing how much a wheel will stick out to the other ??

Nope, it doesn't affect poke or inset.

I just saw a 18x9.5 +37 set up and i love how it sticks out. Would a 19x9 +29 stick out as much ? Or more ?? I wouldnt mind it sticking out a little bit more. Thanks

The 19x9 +29 will have 1.6mm more poke than the 9.5's

maybe the roads really are that bad in Toronto.. I'm going to have to advocate to people that 18 x 9.0 +36 on a lowered setup will incur slight rubbing The rubbing is mostly happening on larger dips are higher speeds, and certain mall/gas/parking lot entrances with a bad curb.

I guess Toronto really has a lot of bad curbs and bad roads at the moment. It's really really really bad out here.

The rub seems to be on the plastic tab though instead of the fender lip. I am running -2.2 front and -1.8 rear camber.

That doesn't rub for 99% of people.

18x9.5 +23 with 245/40s all around. Easily doable, but front sticks out too much for me. I might go +23 rear and +28 front or +28 all around. Not sure

Thanks ross. Ill go with the +29. I figured +7 mm isnt even a centimeter its about .7 cm which isnt even noticeable in terms of looks. And also less work to fit the +29. 19x9 +29 all around with 245s !!! I cannot waitttttt !!!! :smoker:

J8635621 04-10-2011 02:33 PM

7mm is noticeable in terms of fitment to the initiated.

Rotary-RX8 04-10-2011 02:36 PM

^ hmm. I dont know anymore :( lol.


Btw looks good J. To me it doesnt stick out too much, probably just right. If you have more pics post away especially from different angles.

J8635621 04-10-2011 02:51 PM

Get the plus 29 and then spacers if you want more. I might take some more pictures.

Ross_Dawg 04-10-2011 04:46 PM

Lookin good buddy... you get your rears pulled?

J8635621 04-10-2011 04:50 PM

Nah it's the same as when you saw it. I'm sure it'll rub on that damn tab. I need to go on a tool run anyways so I'll get a file or dremel.

sounds like the plan. Also because ive been doing a bit of reading on hellaflush set ups and it seems having a car slammed to the ground and stretched tires isnt very functional in terms of performance or on the track. I think +29 would be best to give a the best of both worlds.. looks and performance :lol2:

J8635621 04-10-2011 06:10 PM

Yea hellaflush isn't the best setup for grip lol. Ended up going 9.5 +23 in the back and +28 up front. I'll wash my car again soon and take a couple pictures

Rotary-RX8 04-10-2011 07:01 PM

Sounds good ... cant wait :smoker:

J8635621 04-11-2011 12:03 PM

doesn't work

Footman 04-11-2011 12:10 PM

ah damn, I have to post it here individually. This sucks..

J8635621 04-11-2011 12:15 PM

or upload them to a real site instead of facebook

bentiac 04-11-2011 12:38 PM

I tried searching but couldn't find the answer to this:

Would 285 / 30 / 18 tires on stock rims fit alright without me having to roll my fender? And if I have to roll... how much?

J8635621 04-11-2011 12:48 PM

Are you autocrossing?

Ross_Dawg 04-11-2011 03:54 PM

I wouldn't reccomend that... that would have an extremely soft sidewall and greater chance of the tire failing.

bentiac 04-11-2011 06:16 PM

Yes I'm autocrossing... and I already have the tires just haven't mounted them so I'm not really looking for a recommendation on size but want to find out if I need to buy a fender roller.

J8635621 04-11-2011 06:20 PM

Pretty sure it's been done and it didn't need the fenders rolled. Best to ask someone in the racing section just to make sure.

Ross_Dawg 04-11-2011 08:21 PM

You'll be ok

kingsina420 04-15-2011 01:10 AM

what camber u guys run on wheels 18x9.5 +30mm and tires 265/35 all around?

Ross_Dawg 04-15-2011 10:39 AM

Definitely -2.0+ maybe more if you have partially rolled fenders. Roll them flat and you wont have to add any unnecessary camber.

J where are the pics already
