Not at all an issue, My previous Advan rg2s were 17 x 9.5 with a 20 offset in the rear with the 255/40 tires cleared the rear with a roll and I was running +25 in the front with the same size tire, but i did have to slightly pull the fronts a little bit but nothing that a good eastwood fender roller cant accomplish.

for my CCWs tho (18 x 12) I had to pull the crap out of my rear fenders within an inch of its life lol, running 320mm advan slicks lol

before:


after:


not perfect but clears the 320mm lol

 

320?! DAMN
on the last page your car looks white, ^there it looks silver, which is it?

 

Lol its chaste white, its just in the garage thats why it looks darker.

 

Do you have any pics as you progressed with the pull? It looks good. Did you just use a heat gun to keep the paint from cracking, did you get any cracking?

 

Some pictures from DGRR.

 

do you have pics of the front fenders when you still had the RG? I just want to get a visual idea on how much it needed to be pulled. what did you do with the front wheel liner?

car is looking sick btw!

 

500.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!! that is cheap!!!!!!!!!! the cheapest ive seen it is like 1250.00 im somehow hating you right now lol

Thats the only wing i would put on my FD even if i dont track my car.

 

ya thats a awsome find, i did 2 seasons of tlmn autocross in barrie its good times. im really trying to make up my mind, i'm ready for a change

 

Lol first 2 pics look like if it was a RC car and you just put the camera on the floor.
Good looking car tho.

 

thanks man, i'm going with a candy apple red with gold metalic base. I'm going this weekend to check out some rims in person, got my list all ready. Its not the same just looking at them on line. I really like the petrol vengeance rimes among others lol

 

these badboys thinking 18/8 front with 235;s and 18/9.5 rear with 275

 

or... same fitment

 

What are the offsets? 8 to me is a little too ***** for the front lol... get at least 9.5 all around with a +35 offset and it should give you a good fitment plus a decent lip. thats how mine was set with the 19s i had

 

id have to agree. 8/9 is just too small for the Fd.. yea stock it runs 8's but.. geez get up to that 9 - 9.5 atleast, but it is your car so if thas what u like. do it to it man!

 

did you have any fitment issues? f#@k i'd run 12's in the front if i could, the only thing is i dont want no rubbing. I have stock suspention so the car isent lowered, what is the widest i can get away with ? I would rather have 9.5 in the front with 10.5 in the rear but i dont want issues. I have a 5mm spacer on the back already. i want a fat lip, so i need a good set up, the 9.5 all around sounds good

 

did you have to role the fenders in the front, i just dont want wheel rub, i have stock suspention so its not lowered, let me know of the widest set up front and rear on a stock suspention set up
thanks

 

If you have stock suspension that means your car is somewhat high, what size of wheels are you getting? 17? 18? 19? i would recommend you to look at the parts forum here and maybe pick up a nice cheap used set of lowering springs before you get wheels, cause im sure you will not like the way non stock wheels will look with stock suspension, but again is your car and your money.

If you get 9.5+35 all around you will be fine with the stock suspension for now, whenever you lower your car you will need to roll the inner lip a bit only, not really big deal and also it will depend on how low you will lower your car. The lip i had on my 19s was 3.25 inches not deep not flat, it was decent.

Im gonna look for a pic of mine with them on and will upload it in a bit. Just so you get the idea

 

As promised.

Here are a couple of pics when i my setup was 19x9.5+35 all around keep in mind that here my car was lowered almost to the max with coilovers (ksport kontrol pro) and all what was done to the fender was rolled the inside lip a bit over half way.

Also to give you and idea of how a 3.25 inch lip looks like.

 

See how the rear still has left some for spacers? you could use the 5mm spacer to have them flush

 

damn!

 

Some ones from last year. . .to keep me motivated. . .





It's undergoing a huge makeover this year. . .inside and out

Larger rimzors on teh way . . .

 

nice setup hows the ride quality with the car lowered that much? love the gold and red thinking to do it myself

 

larger than...? what were on the FD at the time of these pics D1

 

18x12.5 CCW's on the right

18x13 Meister on the left. . .getting tires is a bitch right now. . .

 

thats huge!!lol sick man did you have to do much to get thos to fit. Im just being modest with the width of the rim for now. I do want to lower the car i just dont want a harder ride then what it's got now. Just woundering if a different suspention type will affect the driving comfort. Is there softer aftermarket suspention that will lower the car and keep it decent for not so perfect roads. I use the car on weekends and time to time during the week. I take it to autocross every 2ed week usually just for fun. If i could have 19'' that would be awsome. I know i want at lease a 275 tire in the rear.
