What width rims?

Just for example: 18X9.5 -20(235 tire) would fit 45mm wide fronts, 18X11 -20(265 tire)would fit in the rear, with some fitment

what front fenders, pics? im assuming the cars being set up for drifting?

if so, you dont want to go any wider than a 9.5 in the front, for angle clearance, and any less wouldnt be cool either, so 9.5 should be perfect. so a 18x9.5 -20 should be pretty good. there arent many wheels around with those specs, but you could always use spacers

and your not going to get too much of a stretch on a 235 tire on that wheel, youll need the stretch for clearance. 225/35 tire would be good if you want to go wider than a 215

dont know about the rears

get 17x9.5 -10 up front with a 30mm wide foresight fender from shine auto. youll be, and should be, running a lot of negative camber up front

and 18x11 0 on the rear with some 30-40mm fender in the rear, i like b magic. will be some negative camber

yea. do that

im pretty sure im going to go with 18x10 -10 up front and 18x12 -40 in the rear. hopefully i can make them fit lol... these are not my drifting wheels just the wheels i will drive around take to shows and just straight hard park! if someone can do the math for me and make sure these could possibly fit with the fenders i want then they will be ordered here shortly..

what wheels are your trying to get? post pictures of your car, and the fenders your wanna get.

and why were you asking if they would be good with angle kit if this is for parking? your not gonna fit those

yeah at first i thought about it but sliding on those just isnt smart.. soo ill be sliding on 17x11 cobra wheels.. anyways.. foresight 45mm fronts and origin 50mm rears.. i will be pretty carefull with the lip scratching the fender.. but i want it to be retarded close.. same works as wat you got but i want a 5inch lip and the sicker the offset the happier i will be =) haha

i like ur fc.. i would tell you wat im doing but then someone might copy.... damn seams there isnt many ppl here from fl??
