^^ The rears don't look like +25 because I've seen some forum members with +18 XD9s and their wheels sit more flush/in line with the fenders Maybe it is the photo angle.

^^ Just saw other pics of it in previous pages and it's definitely the photo angle, they sit pretty flush with the fenders.

Nevermind the ugly fender.... it's just a fender I borrowed for test fits.



225/35/18 on 18x10


And THIS is how its done folks. Extreme/Aggressive fitment at its finest with no bulky over fenders Takes a of of skill. Now the hope is that I can get another 20-25mm out of my rear pull to accomplish the same thing with my setup. If I can avoid doing custom burnout style flares then I am golden. I still will likely have my front Burnout +25mm Fenders FS for anyone interested.

I said 5" rears and 4" fronts and you can figure that out from simple math and looking at his offsets. Wanna make a paypal bet before he responds.





Its not all about the width of the wheel the offsets play just as important of a roll if not more. He's losing almost an inch from that +20 back spacing on the 13" wheel and the front is neutral meaning the MAX the front can do would be 5" but factoring in the width of the hub and center piece that is normally 1-1.5" that would put his maximum possibility up front at 3.5-4" on the high side. (applying that to the rear, neutral spacing would be at 6" subtract the +20mm and the hub/face thickness and you have a wheel only capable of roughly 4.5-5 MAX) I know those VS-Fs that were posted on here have ridiculous offstes that allow it to have a lot of lippage on a much more narrow tire with some insane -30/40 territory offsets lol (which at a certain degree becomes kinda silly if you have the back spacing for more rubber but makes sense when modified and all that is important is adding more metal up front)

Anything less than a 12" wide wheel and you don't need an aggressive pull, especially with positive back spacing. 285s on a 12" wheel with a positive offset and a simple 20mm pull would get the job done nicely.

i disagree with that. a 285 on a 12" wheel is WAAAAAY too much stretch for function and my taste. Hell i'm more into putting a 315 on a 10.5" wheel though.

There's nothing to disagree with. What you just stated had zero to do with the question he asked...

Nothing fancy here. Changing the setup here very soon.

Front - 18x9.5 et 43 (255/40). May slap on a 5mm spacer on the front.
Rear - 18x10.5 et 43 (285/35)
