i just wanna know whats the best fitment i can achieve with 1.5 finger gap, having camber at -2 degrees, no more than that!

im thinking of smashing on a 10mm spacer for the fronts on natural camber (if the fronts even camber in at that height :P ), (18x8.5 +38), as that would look pretty nice

not too sure about the rears... what's the flushest setup you guys have seen that has not required guard work or camber?


tyres would be 225/40/18

cheers!

thanks mate
not really want to roll guards
if use 215/45 tyres will it be any problems without roll guards?

mmm, for 18s, preferred profile would be 40. Although even then with the sizing you wanted, the rears would still rub on the rear bumper tab and a bit of the guard. Rolling is still needed.
Of course this is going by the assumption you are like 1 - 1.5 finger gap lows.

where did you roll your guards?how much? i am in melbourne as well
i am now running on 17 x 7.5 +45 so wannna to upgrade to bigger one
and lower on tein SS coilcover

I had it does a while back by Gavin from LowDown Guard Rolling. It used to be 60bux a corner, but now i noticed hes upped the pricing lots =[
Do you have a rear camber kit?


and jzx_andy
them specs with the 10mm spacer may start to rub at the front a bit without fender work.
for the rears, depending how low you are and with camber kit or not, you will rub slightly again.

no i didnt have camber front and rear
60 bux is fair
if more then that ....... thats no good

Hi guys. Got some low offset wheels 18x8 +37 front and 18x9 +32 rear i plan to drop to about 2 finger gap. What i need to know is what tyre sizes should i go for? Lowest profile i wanna go is 45 but would like to know how to get that stretched look with decent amount of rubber.

I'm not sure the 9's will fit....

I would go 8 all round with 225/40 tyres, that should fit fine.

45 for a profile is an aspect ratio, the width of your tire will determine that. eg 225/45 18 - sidewall will be 3.99 inches, 245/45 18 - sidewall will be 4.34 inches. so it will vary depending on width.

Already previously asked if the 9's would fit and replies were "no probs". Some guys here are running 10's/11's if you read the whole thread. 45 profile, i meant about the sidewall. Want a bit of a streched look, but stiil want some rubber on them. Was thinking 225/45 front and 235/45 rear but need to know for sure.
