my car with 12,5x18 et-2 in the rear and 10,5x18 et5 in the front




What do you guys to at the front with inner fenders? im catching on them and thinking about removing them. And is it possible to get camber on the upper controll arm in the front?

 

MSpeed, what tire sizes are you running?

Don't be offended--- I like what you're doing with your FD, aside from the (in my opinion) absolutely horrible wheel/tire fitment

 

245/35 in front and 285/30 in the rear

 

Adjusted my setup slightly but mainly have better pictured to show. Fronts are 285/30 on 18x10.5 +17 with Shine Feed fenders. Rears are 295/35 on 18x10.5 +12 with pulled flared fenders.

 

What is the "perfect" wheel tire size combo in 18" for a not dropped fd3s ? not rolled fender ?

 

Stock specs but not 16s

 

It all depends what you are after. As far as I'm concerned you can fit plenty of wheel and tire in the rear without rolling the fenders and it doesn't have to be stock spec. A non lowered car may look odd with 18's but if stock fender gap is fine with you then just making sure the OD of the tires are 25" so a 225/50/16 stock size tire has the same OD as a 255/35/18 tire. That means no added or subtracted fender gap or ride height

You see a lot of staggered fitment because you can fit more tire in the rear and it also means you can change the offset of the wheels to gain more flush fitment/dish on the wheel.
As you can see in this thread; some take it to the extreme. This tends to compromise performance for looks. It's why you see some strong opinions mentioned about fitment. Usually towards the negative when it comes to extreme fitments.

I don't like a stock fitment, way too conservative. I don't know anyone who think it looks better stock than putting a bit more aggressive offsets on the car.

 

I actually have 215/40 front and 245/35 rears hankook V12Evo.
I have fresh pair of RS-R 265/35 laying around. I plan on mounting them on rears. What size do you think I should put in front? 235/40 RS-R ?

Advan GT Hyper Black (Graphite) 18x8.5 +45 F. 18x9.5 +38R.
Tires 235/40/18 F. 265/35/18 R

 

Look really nice Pietro931!

 

Neat setup. Ppl ditch or custom metal the inners for show fitment. You need custom arms or eccentric bushings to get camber on the top arm.
Can you post pictures from the rear? I'd love to see that rocket bunny spoiler on a car without pandem or gt flares. Thinking about putting one on my stock body.

 

The kind of fitment y'all hate

F: 18x10.5+5 | 245/35/18 | -3* camber
R: 18x12.5-8 | 295/30/18 | -0.5* camber

Rear Hubs pushed toward the outside 3/4"

 

interesting side steps. i like what you did the bumper as well. did you mod the fenders too?

 

Charge speed rears with botox injections

 

Love the front bumper and side steps

Only hatin' on the the skinny tires.

Could fit 18x14 +10 with 335/30-18 and 18x12 +30 with 285/30-18 with the same fitment to the fender and better offsets.

 

Volk GT-N
18x10 rear, 18x8 front, I forgot the offset since this was my car back in 1999
yes-thats the abflug aero kit

 

So beautiful. Stock FD lowered on nice wheels is forever timeless.

 

My pants are feeling funny now. Clean , clean, clean!

 

Finally got a functional set of wheels again and it feels so good . 17x9 +28 all around with 255/40/17 Federal SS. Need to put the 10mm spacers in the rear still but I got the wrong size extended studs and they didn't fit in the hub :/. If anybody has any used 2.5" APR studs for FC/FD let me know.

 

looks good

 

Update with RS-R tires 245/35 and 265/35 still on 18x8.5 ET30 and 18x10 ET28.

Rubs front fender gards and rear fender lips (rears badly...)

 

Which wheels are these? These look perfect in all aspect, great looking car man.
