New wheels... offset's and shiz

[JAP63]

LOL im looking at getting the driftek in 17x8 +35. From all measurements in thsi thread.. they should fit no problems

Yeah they'll be fine mate, as i said, the front will be about 10-12mm outside the guards though.

Like i said....

• In the rear, you can go out about 45 mm out (requires camber), and in about 25mm( very close to control arm though)

• In the front, its about 25 mm out (lands about flush with guards, and 25mm in (close to stock strut but clears, may foul a little on inner guard at full lock, only minor though)

Whatever cobinations match up at them measurements will fit, just remember, when im talking about the measurements in the rear, im talking u need a neat tyre..no bulky stuff. In fact if i were to be on the limits of the above measurements, id be running a very narrow tyre, which i did in the end on my car, I found I had to..was a 225/45/17, on a 9.

Play with this now u know the limits..

Fuk yeaaaaah
Thats a bomd setup...

Does the 5 stud conversion change the offset positioning?

That tyre combo and offset will be perfect, although you may need a couple of deg camber in the rear to fit in the guards..and the front, well theyre gonna be a fair way out the guards...are you running the same rim on the front?

I've got fto flanges for the front and i'll be re-drilling the rears, I think the offset positioning should be the same at the front - guess we'll see!

Same wheels front and rear.

I'm aiming to run 2 or 2.5 deg in the front and 1 or 1.5 deg in the rear, Shouldn't be too hard to pull the stock sheetmetal out enough I rekon. It's quite handy the way the wheels tuck in as the suspension compresses!

I very nearly bought a set of 18x9 +35's and 18x10 +0's But i'd like to avoid having to cut and weld (for now anyway)
