Just a fairly aggressive roll and pull all around. I wouldn't go any more aggressive on stock body. I've tried but the wheel of the roller actually starts hitting the upper portion of the fender and I'm pretty certain that it'll crease it there if you try to pull anymore.

I'd also like to point out that at this height, the front tires do rub the frame section right above it on full compression. No bueno.

I just tested 17X10.5 all around on 275s all around. I'll have all 4 on in a couple weeks.

Got the 17X10.5 on 275/35/17 square program working. Shine front fenders, rear fender pull only. I clearanced the shine front fenders for some safety. I am going to blend the cuts back into the fender line, I just did this to get it to the track quickly. No rubbing anywhere, except the rim hits the sway bar at full lock.

So aside from the trimming of the fender it looks great.

Can you add your final offset? Just to round out the info.

Yes all that will fit. I'd do 255/50/17 in back though, and possibly 235/40/17 up front.

Depends on how low the car is.

Front tire specs? Any other steering modifications? Been wondering if I can fit a 17x9 +25 with 40mm lower ball joints, under stock metal.

Due to the modified ball joint? What would be a better offset, or would getting wide fenders be the best bet?

Different offset wheels might work. The absolute largest wheel you can run under stock fenders with a fender roll is a 17X9.5 in the low +30 offset range.

17X9 +24 fit fine with a stock ball joint. but pulling the bottom of the wheel out 40 more mm will likely cause problems unless you cut the stock fender, run a huge amount of front camber, and run a small, stretched tire.

Wider fenders will give you the most flexibility.

I am looking to go with 18" wheels on my Tii. I am looking for a nice stance but not sure what widths and Offset would be good. When I say stance I don't mean huge camber, I mean the car to have an aggressive stance. Or would 17" be a better way to go. Thanks

Gotcha, thanks for the info. What about using only 25mm balljoint extension?

I said it could work with a small stretched tire. Re read my posts. No way will it work with an approved tire on a 9.5 inch wheel.

I have a question on this. I am currently looking at 17" wheels. Will the +25 offset give me a nice flush look. Im good with maybe a little poke but i want the car to sit nice. Thanks

Yes you need a little negative camber, at least -2 degrees

This is 17x9 +24 all around with 235/40/17 in front and 245/45/17 in the rear. I'd recommend 245/40 or 255/40 however, or 235/40/17 all around.

Sure. Without coilovers there was some rubbing in the fender liner because it had less front camber. And I had to roll the front fenders. With coilovers it didnt rub at all.
