Will It Fit Thread
#2152
Tein S-tech drop...
19x9.5 rear 19x8.5 front +35 245/35 rear 225/35 front
20x10 rear 20x8.5 front +35 255/35 rear 225/35 front
18x9.5 rear 18x8.5 front +35 245/35 rear 225/35 front
I'm not afraid of rolling fenders and cutting fender liners so what will work here? Are the tire sizes i selected decent for the rim sizes? Unfortunately i can't change the offsets... damn cheap azz wheels these days.

here's the story: I thought they would fit, so I bought them. however the local bodyshop that i go to doesn't usually handle performance parts, and they told me that these rims will not fit. I guess I'll have to try another shop? I mean no matter how low end a body shop is i thought they'd be able to handle something like this.

djcharlee (another forum member) is running a more aggressive suspension setup than you and more aggressive offset as well. 1" drop and +30 offset - it's flush as hell.
is it because of your alignment that they would suggest it wouldn't fit?? Just wondering because i've noticed some shops will turn people away because when they eye-ball it, it doesn't look like it'll fit

word. I guess i'll just have to take it to a shop that knows how to work the suspension. I just got my hypermax rs installed so I was looking forward to driving the rex on new rims... curse you complications!

i'm sure this has been answered, but i can't bring myself to scour through 85+ pages!!
I have a body kit on now, and as much as i love the oem wheels, they really don't look good w/ a body kit!!! i have my eye on the following set-up, just never know what to do about offset.
18 x 9.5 ALL AROUND
i know they offer a couple different offsets for the wheel i want, i'll have to look again, but i want to say +45 or +48, does that sound right? anyway, i obviously don't want to rub up front, and i'm not super keen on the idea of rolling the fenders; but i want them to look flush and not stick out!
i have tein s drop. i really want to run nothing more thatn 255 tires, although sounds like i might have to go to 265 w/ a 9.5 width...
any tips on the offset i would need to get and if 255's would fit without being super stretched? THANKS!
