The rears are 17x8.5 +20 offset. running 215/45/17's gives a nice stretch on the tires. The tire on the right rear in the pic is a junk off brand. Its there to be burned off next weekend. lol

I also have 16x6 with about 30 decent tires in the basement for practice days. Gonna order up a few sets of the Federal tires ss595s for competitions.

you could safely run 18x10(offset 0-8) and 20x12(offset 0) ....


tires are cheaper for 20s compared to 19s!!!

Derek King, put in some work massaging the inner fender where it rubs with a air hammer, itll give you that oh so fresh non rubbing feeling down there.

the 17x9 +17 with 20mm spacers will stick out a bit. these are 17x9.5 +15 w/ 225/45/17 are ok. going to 215/40/17 in the front for clearance purposes. you can get a scope of around your 9's will be.

a good tire place always does the trick...

dkwasherexd has the same kit as me, and im siting on 18x10 and 18x11 w/ no rubbing anywhere.... i also get a full lock when i turn both ways... i had kinda figured it out when Pawlack was drifting on 19&20s

i used to have a hella stretch... (2 quartes from inner lip)







Derek King, to me, you passed the usable flushness test bro, but if it were me... id make the fender hit the rim

RE TurboII, front fitment is good... but dammit man, is she running yet? running engine before wheels is my motto..

When will drifters learn stretching a tire is not good setup for drift.

Besides the possible distruction of the rim, that tire could slip right out of the lip and cause it to go flat instantly. Not a good idea when your going 60mph sideways=D
