The rear should be no problem with a slight pull...The fronts are going to be a bit more challenge but with 215s, I think you'll be fine.

I'm running 225/40 on a 18x9 +1 and it's VERY close and rubs a little -- yours will be 2mm out from that and I maxed out my camber.

With a little work and the right tire sizes, that setup should look BAD ***. Please post pics when you get it done.

RETed. I know you posted on your page that a 10 width with +25 offest would work, I also know you said diameter doesnt matter. im just trying to confirm (anyone chime in if you have them) before I buy a set of rims though, that 18x10 in the rear will work with offset of +25. What size tire should I go with?

got myself a DD FC and I wanna run a fatty wheel. I plan on rolling the stock fenders without cutting the wells. Can I roll enough to fit:

17x10 +20 all around on 255/40s?

thanks in advance

Yo Eddie,

You'll need a spacer to clear the coilover in the front, and a pretty aggressive pull on the front fender, or 30mm overfenders. Rears should fit with a roll and pull and no spacer. I pulled my front fenders for 17x9 +17 and they were a pain to do... that thin sheet metal buckles easily.

looks good JordB, but a little to much poke out back.

if you need rear camber adjusters, i have a brand new set of MMR-Direct, and a brand new set of AWR adjusters.

Cheers man, there should actually be 23mm LESS poke than your setup. Forgive my ignorance as Im used to Nissans - does the camber correction pull the bottom of the wheels in or push the top of the wheels out?

I presume the later therefore I need all that camber to make them fit, I don't really want any more flare.

Real quick 17x7.5 with a 42 offset. Will these fit all the way around? I can get a set uber cheap. I don't mind running a small spacer.

So I'm running 17x8 +35 all the way around, and I want to make them flush. Wondering how big of a spacer I need. Like 10mm in the front and 15mm in the rear? 10mm all round? 15mm all around?

The fender lips are rolled upwards, I need to throwin some more negative camber anyway. Think that will fit it?

Awesome, I'm looking at a pair of the same wheels but in a 17x9 +35 for the rear for a stagger setup. Think they'll sit flush if I get the spacers?
