I have a 5" lip for my rear wheels, front is 4.5" (I don't have a picture of front fitment being my car doesnt have the subframe mounted) I may be creating a new thread regarding fitment issues I may run into. Here are some pictures of the rear wheels mounted on the car with no suspension. Do these cars have a factory rear camber adjustment?
All four wheels originally where 17x7 +45, after replacing the outer lips only the fronts now are 9" wide and rear 9.5" wide

 

**** bro. Don't say that. I want it. Sort of need it at this point. The Varrstoen have just about 4 inch lips out back. I need moat.

 

Well contrary top popular believe, stepped lips take away from the deep look. 4" flat lips look ALOT deeper than 4" stepped.

Those wheels ^^^ are VERY lip friendly. You need something like those

 

You need to buy a camber adjustment bar. Mazdatrix has them for a reasonable price. But either way you are going to have MAJOR issues. 17x9.5 -18.5!?!? You're ****** nuts dude. You'll probably need to go wide unless you Pull the living **** out of you're guards. Like PULL THE **** OUT IF THEM. 17x9.5 ++++15!!! Needs a hard pull, let alone minus ******* 18!!!

We'll help as much as possible, but wide is probably your best bet.

The fronts are a whole different story. I'd start shopping for wide fronts if i were you, unless you like fixing them daily. I run 17x9+4 up front and my tire grabs my fender and bends it inwards all the time. Unless you run insane camber, you'll need wide fenders.

Sorry for all the bad news

 

Thanks for the info, I have had my eye on shines front and rear wide fenders, once i get the subframe on I'm sure figure out what needs to be done. I noticed Shines wide fenders are 30mm, is there anything that has less width and vert friendly? I'm looking foward to getting the wheels fitted, it should look pretty good once done.

 

Beach how did you get my new offset? I calculated mine based from wheel flips general offset formula. take away 6 for every .5" your adding to the outer lip without touching anything else.

 

You know what I may have calculated wrong. I'm going to do the math again real quick. I'll reply with an edit if what i come up with.

EDIT: okay i made a mistake. The rears should be around +8.. Very possible the fronts should be ~+19?? Looks like you got some perfect offsets. Again i could be wrong,.I'm drinking and cant math right now hahaha

 

Wait a minute. Your inner barrels are 5.27" which means your lips can only be 4.23" max. You said the wheel is a 9.5", 5.27 + 4.23 = 9.5. Maybe the lips loooook 5" deep but aren't.

 

thanks for he info beach, I just measured rear barrel and it's 4.5"( I also measured from the face of the wheel to the edge of the outer lip and fronts I got 4.5" and rear 5") Just eye balling the rear I hope there's enough camber and work I can work with the factory body.

 

Talk is cheap. Get 'er done

 

17x9 2254517 front 18x10 2753518 rear. Only rolled fenders and the fit awesome.

 

This is before my coilovers. The car looks way different now. But it gives you an idea. The picture above is with coilovers.

 

D2 RS Spec Coilovers (not even close to being maxxed)
17x9.5 +12 w/5 mil spacer(f)/17x10 +15 w/15 mil bolt on spacer(r) Work VS-XX's
tire size- 205/40r17 all the way around

 

You must've had it a lot lower than that when you burned all that rubber off the tires??

 

then max them. what are you waiting for?

 

 

Lugcentric 15x8 Gamblers, 195/55 fronts, 205/60 rears, 25.4 offset with 3/4 inch spacers for a total of + 6.35 offset. 3.5 inch ARP studs. Nothing's hubcentric, and there are no vibrations.

 

^ looks chunky and pretty sweet ^

 

Those GPs look great. If you matched the front bumper and maybe a diffuser it would be awesome.

 

I have the front and rear bumper lol....

 

Why not throw it on?!

 

it wasnt lower, i had just got done driving it. lol. and if i were to max them out my car would literally not move. the fender edges would be sitting on the lip of the wheels and the tires would me mashed against the inner fenders lol. im close to that point as it is haha. and i also daily my 7 and im in the air force and he have these MASSIVE speedbumps coming onto base. i already have to come in at a stupid angle and i scpare from my lip to my exhaust tip lol

 

My car will destroy the front bumper going to work and I really like my setup now just want shines half bumper and skirts.... I'm saving up its just ganna take a while...

 

Me and beachfc daily our 7"s everyday and we are all at the same drop you should take off the rear spacer and rim tuck
