Cheers. No, lower than stock height.

Car is running Tein Monoflex and has been corner weighted for the track.

I love this look, but i'd like to go a little more aggressive. maybe just meatier tires?

they do 19's now (the CR ultimate), but sometimes 19's look a little big on the 7... what offset would be best? wouldn't want to do more than a fender roll

heres the choices:

19x8.5 +35, or +25
19x9.5 +38, +25,+15
19x10.5 +32, +22, +12

Now going with that, i want a meaty tire, no rubber bands...

so maybe 18's would be plenty?

Ya man, the guy i bought them from has 225/40/18s on both the front and the rear. I definitely need wider tires on the rear. Maybe 255 or 265 and maybe a 235 on the fronts as well.

Is there any possible way to put 18"x10.5" +25 rims on front and rear without modding the fenders?
Please be specific on what would be necissary, if it's even possible- (Such as what tire sizing, even down to brand if you deem it important- and camber specs if available..)

I'm thinking no, but wanted to ask here just to be sure...
Thanks!

NEED HELP FINDING OFFSET for my 93 rx7 with the Pettit racing rear finders????????

Current have CCW Classic 18x12 + 19 335/30/18 NT555r on the rear and the wheels are not flush with the finders. I don't really want to run spacers and would like to have a wider rear lip right now I have a 4" lip and would like to have 5 or larger lip.

i have 10.5 +22 all around. front tires are 235/40 and the rears are 265/35. i have the feed front fenders and stock rear fenders.

the fronts on my car fit fine without rubbing (but of course the feed fenders are wider). on a stock fenders im not too sure.

the rears even with a roll still hit my fenders on the 265/35 toyos. im sure with more of a stretch in the rear itll fit. i pulled mine slightly to get it to fit.

hope you get an idea of what you need. but in general it seems youll need to run pretty stretched tires or modded fenders to fit the size you want

Thanks, the fitment is a bit...off I guess you could say. The fronts stick out 38mm an the rears about 25mm (roughly) past the stock fenders so getting them tucked is going to be interesting.
