Wheel Fitment Recipe - wheel offsets that work - Page 101

Owner = speedracervroom if you want more info PM him.

front offset is extremely weak..

back should be an inch higher, with 5mm less offset to pull it off, rather than tucking the wheel..
they stretch tires for a reason.. lol

i know that 18 x 8.5 + 45mm fits but does anyone have pictures of what it looks like on the car?

dt07Si · 02-12-2009, 12:03 PM

Check out the username: qwerty

He has Advan RZ's in that spec with I believe 225/40/19 tires.

With the right camber specs and a pro kit you should be fine.

Hey, don't hate.
This guy has a sick set up. He's not even that bad compared to the VW guys.
He's got balls to run it like that and be hella flush. I think it's too sick.. one of my favourite set ups on here

rwc · 02-13-2009, 12:46 AM

heres one that works

this is my 18x7.5 +37, with 225/40/18 tires, and hfp drop

its flush, it looks good, my tires actually fit, i rub very little, and i also have 0 camber.

i could probably get rid of the rubbing altogether, but i dont like uneven treadwear and i also like to drift it a lil bit(as much a fwd car can anyway)

if i wanted to go a lil bit lower, i could prob add about 1-1.5 deg of negative camber in the back and still be fine.

hoanger · 02-13-2009, 12:50 AM

That looks great too.

The only difference is that he's tucking and that's what makes it wicked. Everyone has different tastes.

rwc · 02-13-2009, 01:00 AM

if looks are your only concern then by all means do it... i'd just hate to see someone get hurt from running an unsafe setup because they saw it on here and thought it "looked cool"..

for me personally, i drive my car daily. i need something safe and reliable. hence why i run what i do.

I agree he has balls, and your right he's not as bad as most VW guys. I do like to see people push the limits, however I'd rather see someone push the limits with a reverse stagger on a FWD car and have it not only look good but handle much better then stock, not much worse.

Perfect example...

Or even your car Jason once you get your new wheels on! And hopefully mine soon enough

Not a bad setup by any means, and certainly handles much better then speedracervrooms car and probably better then stock. However it's really only flush because you are running and OEM aligment. And sure negative camber will cause some inner tire wear, but with your toe zero'd out it's very minimal, and with a non staggered wheel setup rotating your wheels can help minimize it even more.

If i were you i would atleast dial in -1.5 to -1.75 degrees up front and about -1.0 out back (which is stock). It will improve your handling, and eliminate any rubbing you may have.

I think you want a bit of camber, even stock specs have some camber. I'm running a similar setup 18x7.5 +32 on 225/40/18s as well.

i actually do have plans of doing somehting similar to that when/if i get my new suspension which will put me about a half inch lower. i will probably be using -1.5 in front and -1 in back

hoanger · 02-13-2009, 01:06 AM

Dave, FEEL's car was my inspiration for the FWD stagger! They were able to fit 255's up fronts with a wider wheel as well. I didn't have THAT much balls haha

I can't wait! I hate winter

rwc · 02-13-2009, 01:11 AM

deleted lol

yeah i like that reverse stagger setup.. not a bad idea

dt07Si · 02-13-2009, 01:22 AM

There's a chance I might be running something VERY similar to the Feel's FD2 this season

Jason, where did you see the tire specs on the Feel's car? I have read the front wheels are 18x9+35's but I really wonder if that's true. They look 9.5's to me, but I might be able to verify what they are this weekend.

Those are FEELs overfenders as well, upfront thats probably 18x9.5 +18/22.

You rub?!? i got the exact same fitment and drop but with 8" wide instead of 7.5" and i have zero rubbing!

well i got camber adjustments (1-1.5) but i still can't see it rubbing even without that.. got any side shots?

Looks real good though
