over fenders
so i picked up some bad ass 17x8.5 -6 wheels. running 225-45 tires and as you guys can imagine i now have clearance issues. i have rolled and pulled the front and rear but it doesnt look so hot and i may be selling this thing when the economy turns so with that said will for sure be getting the 20mm front fenders but as far as the rear goes...
what would you do? |
CUT and paste. btw +20 is the worst idea ever what would you get ?
|
some purple enkies
|
i say dump in the camber and do a roll
i have a slight roll and not much negative camber on a 17x9.5 +9 and i have some room still |
i have maxed out the camber up front. waiting for camber in the rear and have probably pulled the fenders at least 20mm and my car is too high for my liking and i can barely fit a credit card between the tire and fender

then you should buy 30mm foresight fenders from shine auto and throw on a 20 or 25mm spacer up front
the rears in my opinion look stupid with overfenders and 17's, i would only do 18's with overfenders. but i know some people would disagree, so thats up to you i guess. i would just stick with the roll in the rear with those wheels |
do what i did. buy the wheels, build the car to fit the wheels :)
|
all that for 8.5's :lol::icon_no2:
|
It's all in the offset.
Measure how far your wheels stick out past the fenders THEN order overs. |
People who run '45' side wall complain about clearance.
Get 215/40 Roll and Camber, overfenders for 8.5 -6 is overkill and will be sunk again. |
215 tires are too small......unless your NA
|
yeah i was thinking i have to go 215 (but that seems a bit small) to not run overfenders. 40 seems a bit thin to me though. ill get a set of both and try them both out. free tires so its not a big deal.

20mm wide fenders? I just got some 30mm wide front fenders and Iwanst happy at all. It doesnt fit my wheels :( yeah 215 is too small.. At least 235s with a t2 no?
|
lol
8.5's |
8.5s?
fail sell them. the fact that they are negative offset does not make them suck dick any less. and buy real wheels, you can buy wheels w/ +20 offset as long as the width is 10.5 |

just get the fenders now and get it over with. you can always buy some used low offset wheels off of a 240 guy
|
i was able to get a 17x9 +0 easily, how can you not get a 8.5 -6 under stock fenders
