wheel width
 
ok I have a question. I purchased the Bomex rear end and side skirts, and the Corksport Type II front bumper. The car is going under the knife in a couple weeks and getting a black paint job, and pretty much will look exactly like the car in this pic, minus the wing. I'm putting new wheels on it, and I want to know what I have to do to make sure the wheels and tires extend to the edge of the fenders. The pic attatched is exactly what I DONT want the the wheels to look like, I need them to be flush with the body. What size wheels, offset, width, everything, will I need to get in order to accomplish this. I'll be running Racing Beat springs and Tokico shocks still, along with stock calipers if that makes any difference.

You'll need about a 30-35 offset, spacers if you go to 40.

Run a 9-9.5" rear rim with a +35 offset or so. Contact ARD T2 on here for exact specs to go with. He knows his shit and sells rims and stuff.


**edit**

And what spoiler is that?

hey thats ben marr. if im correct thats the bomex spoiler.. that car is badass, it runs low 11s

yeah thats not my car, but coincidentally that is exactly what mine is going to look like, same kit, lights, paint, everything minus the wing and a different front end. I just used it as a reference because I don't want the fender lip to extend over the wheels. Thanks for the info.

ARD T2 won't accept PM's and doesn't have an email. Anyone else that can offer some advice?
