If your still going with the 8" wheels w/ a +38 offest, you shouldn't have any need to roll your rear fenders unless you are running a 225 or 235 tire with little to no negative camber.

I have more clearance issues with the front fender liners than I do with the rear fenders with a +32mm offset.

Really? I see a lot more room in the front.. even though my liner is TOAST LOL. I might have to pick up some pvc pipe though. Do you know the best width for the pipe? Where is the best place to get a jack? I need to get jackstands too :[.. might go when sears has a sale.. running 225's and my camber is only like -1.5 in the rear.

At first I thought I had more room up front and was going to run into rubbing issues with the rear fenders, but with the right amount of negative camber out back and considering I'm not slammed in the back I have no issues at all. Where as in the front it took adding a lot of negative camber (added more since pics were taken) in the front to avoid rubbing. I tried using my heat gun to reform the front fender liners to get rid of the bumps they have the stick out, but its not the type of plastic that can be heated up and reformed, it would just melt.

As far as the width of a PVC pipe I'm really not sure if one width would work better than another.

I have a Nevada BlackJack racing jack. They make a few different models, and there not that expensive, there light, and they fit under just about any car. They make fast pump racing versions but to be honest I prefer the more traditional style that allows you raise and lower the car as much as you'd like.

probably not - u could roll the fronts just to be safe

JeShUa · 04-10-2008, 03:22 PM

LOL.. the fronts.. you'll be fine.. pro kit = hardly a drop.

alxwin · 04-10-2008, 09:04 PM

The offset is pretty low and it being a 8.5" wide wheel you are definitely going to rub on the skunk2 drop. and i wouldn't recommend putting a 215 width tire on a 8.5" wheel either...

friedk · 04-10-2008, 09:51 PM

He'll be find stretching it that amount I think..Not really that great for performance though!

Wasn't too sure... I wouldn't drive on such skinny tires doing the amount of driving I do

Actually, I mistook myself for being in the aggressive offset thread! Would you mind editing my quote in your post? lol

Ideally you'd want more tire of course..I plan on getting 225s and mine are only 7.5" wide. IMO I think he'll be okay..but it isn't ideal at all for performance. His wheels won't fit if he runs big tires with that offset anyway.

alxwin · 04-10-2008, 10:20 PM

hmmmmmm....
well
asdf0123 is running the exact same size/0ffset wheels with slightly wider tires but same ratio (235/40/18). So his would actually be taller. Hes also dropped on Tein S-tech
His ride seems to be ok. I think it looks really good. What do yall think?

ive already searched and could'nt find a solid answer so i was hoping yall could help. I was wondering if i would have any issues running a 17in rim with a +20 offset when the rim is only 7in or 7.5in wide on stock suspension?(im goin light weight) and as far as tire size id try to keep the overall tire diameter close to stock as possible.

boosted 230 · 04-15-2008, 12:39 PM

Anyone?

JeShUa · 04-15-2008, 12:50 PM

The New Orleans?
I dont know how that would look especially stock, but those would stick out past the fenders a bit. You could run it without rubbing but idk how it would look. You would most likely need some camber and be fine at stock height, but I'm not entirely sure.

yep New Orleans. i dont really want to lower the car cause the streets here are horrible! but this guy is runnin +45 with a 25mm spacer witch makes it an 20mm offset and it looks about even with the fender? would mine look like that but just up in the air?

Ed06 · 04-16-2008, 07:02 AM

will 17x8.5 with 30mm offset with 225/45/17 on sportlines?? will i have any issues?

Well I agree I don't think it would look good, but mainly because they would be smaller than stock and the car would be at stock height. A 16 x 7 +20 would sit flush with the fenders, if not possible a few mm in. My 17 x 8 +32 setup sits a full inch (26mm) further out than the stock wheels, a 16 x 7 +20 would sit 25mm further out than our stock 17 x 7 +45's.

There are shitty roads everywhere, and the roads here in NJ are horrible also, but that doesn't stop me from running an aggressive wheel and being lowered on coilovers. But to each there own...

The picture of peenoy's old setup you posted was with a 7.5" wheel with an efective offset of +20 (with a spacer), and they poked a little in the back. A 7" wheel with a +20 offset would sit a 1/4" further in or about 6.5mm.

I wouldn't run it, not only would it poke past the fenders, but with a sportline drop and 225's you will definitely rub.

janaka · 04-16-2008, 09:24 AM

19 x 7.5 - 5 x 114.3 offset 43mm - 225.35.19 tires

anyone know if these will fit without rubbing and not lowered. I do not want these to be able to rub.
