ahh okey rotorhead!
[QOUTE]wow, great setups.. but you guys are starting to scare me... its like you cant tuck your front in with your current setups... but then again most of you have spacers[/QUOTE]
Do you mean the front fender will hit the tire? My car is extremly stiff and with some more camber i hope it helps. Im also planning to get the car wider but dont know how... yet...

yeh, if you plan on driving hard, going over speed bumps, running from the cops... i believe they will rub-ba-dub-rub. and doing a camber will eat tires if your not prepared

He showed me his car before he got the rear fenders. They are rolled, I think he cut out the inner fender lining though. He just slapped the rear fenders over the rolled fender.

I bought boostinmys5's (Justin's) black FC because I love owning cars that people hate. haha
Plus it was about time that I went to some drift events again and this was an easy way to get back into it.
Oh, 18x10 +17 and 18x10 +/-0
And I believe that Justin's green car has had the stock wheel arch cut up higher and rewelded to the fenderwell. At least, that's usually how it's done.

Yeah dude, that car is sick. It's good to go at a really good price. Honestly, if Justin opened up a shop, I'd go to him everytime. I say that because he was there for me when my FC was down and I totally trust and thank him for that.

Yeah, I'm just trying to gather up all my info on rim sizes and widths. In the meantime, I'm working on getting coilovers. I wish I could just slap on the JIC FLT-A2's from my protege!!!

hi, after looking these thread i have a quetion for the guys that are using 18x8'5 in the front. right now my TII has 19'' wheels but my front wheels are rubbing the shocks , mainly because the tire is a 245/35/19( the car is not on the road im testing only). but anyways i have 19x8'5 all around, i want to know how can i set this up on my car to make it have a good stance. if i lower the tire to 235/35/19 in the front it seems i have to use a spacer on front so wouldn't that make the car look a little goofy because they're the same width rims in front and on the back. it may look like the front wheels look wider than the back wheels. well anyone who can help me here it'll be apreciate it.

Gotcha. I'm not much for stretching, don't feel it's safe personally. And I didn't choose it that way, was like that when I bought it. I would have preferred 17's, but I'm not complaining. So, what would be a good size for the rim I have? I don't mind the stretch now, but when I get new tires I wouldn't mind eliminating it.

--so in my recommendation for your stretch...
215/45/z18 front
245/45/z18 rear
...hopefuly this wont look crazy and not very noticeable to the average driver (unless their from japan/vw driver/drifter)

well, yes the stretch is for looks, and can help in the drift dept(smaller contact patch[area that touches the road] ). but if your looking for grip then the stretch is only good on a super wide tire where the contact patch is greater than a stock contact patch.

215/45/z18 front
245/45/z18 rear

...actually, instead of jumping in to the stretch scene how about you gradually step down your width until you get your desired look
