18s look a little too big IMO, but that car is fresh.

I never realized that those skirts were aftermarket t2 I just thought they were oem. I like that they are one piece way more. Where did you get those at?

CXracing, he has the rear fully drooped with no collars, and the front preloaded(like crazy haha). Those coils can take a BEATING. But if LOW LOW is what you want, you can't beat pbm with swift springs. you can tuck 16's if you wanted. I have the regular PBM's but am thinking about switching to swift springs so that I can have that option.

Tucking 18's doesn't matter much if they're 6 inches wide +50 offset.

I think a 10mm spacer, a tad bit of camber in front, and an inch lower and it'd look sick. nothing beats a decently low, decently fitted, fully functional car in my Eyes.

I was thinking about a 1/2" or so lower, and I don't want to run a spacer. I'd rather jut sell these wheels and pick up something else. Wanted to get FN01R-Cs but they're hard to find, so I'm considering the R33 replicas Square is making.

I plan to lower it all around when it warms up.

Does anyone know offsets for different widths to be flush with the fender? For instance 7", 7.5", 8"?

Help me build an aggressive set of wheels!

I'm starting from scratch.

How do I achieve a 5" lip out back and 4.5" up front?

Completely depends in The wheels My man. For instance, ccw's and bbs's are going to need to be around 11" and in the negative offsets. But other wheels such as vsxx's and vskf's can pull it off around 10.5 and somewhere between 0-+10?? Not exactly sure, but that should be close. Any wheels you get are going to need to be low disc, and might rub in 4 pots up front. I would suggest vskf's. They are the cheapest and have a very big lip compared to other wheels with the same widths and offset.


EDIT: vskf's are also the heaviest. But hey you gotta pay to play, in some way or another haha

So, is it safe to say that the 5" lip is achievable on a 10.5" wide wheel? Is the 4.5" possible on a 9.5" wheels? I'll settle for 4.5 and 4 if absolutely necessary.

What are the parameters that dictate this? Is there a necessary amount of barrel that needs to be used? I'd need both new barrels and lips anyway.

Look if you buy a 5" lip, you're going to have a 5" lip. It's making it fit that's the trouble. A 5" lip is equivalent to a 10" wheel with an offset of around -10 -+0, depending on the face of the wheel. So you could Pull off a 5" lip with a 10.5" If the offset its around 0. Assuming the wheel is lip friendly(not bbs, ccw)

I've seen 17x10.5 +2 Bbs's with a 4" lip. ******* weak.

I suggest you buy a face an a 5" lip and test fit it, ans go from there. But you're most likely going to need to go wide, or - some lip </3

I'm asking because I want to avoid going widebody. I know I can have if I buy, but I want it to work. I don't have the $$$ to blow on wheels. Strippers on the other hand...

Memoryfab has awesome customer service, BTW. Just wanted more input.

I'd just settle for less lip. It's gonna next to impossible to pull off
