Would hate to see how my car looks like from behind. People probably think I'm drunk LOL

But seriously man your car is super lower especially the front. You must scrape a fair bit.

well i have raised the front up abit. Also trimmed abit off the front air deflector as well. Apart from that its quite drivable. Its my daily driver. The only time i have problems is with huge speed humps and dipping driveways.

Apart from that...its all good

On a side note, the car looks alot better lowered imo.

i run the following..

F:225/40 on a 18x8 +40
R:255/35 on a 18x8 +40

seem to have no problems.. but then again what was mention before about the camber and etc.. is really tru as im funning roughly about 3 degree neg camber on the rear.. car is lowered but not as slammed as FLYs.. though it does look hot lower...

Do you scrub with a 255 in the rear?

Hey guys,

I'm currently in the same position. Going to buy an s2k soon and found some hot looking wheels. However, the diameter of the rims are of two different sizes; does this pose an issue? Here are the specs of the rims:

Fronts: 17 x 7 offset +35
Rears: 18 x 9.5 offset +42

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm, well the different diameters aren't really a problem but you may have trouble fitting a 9.5 inch wheel with a +42 offset under the guards.

^ thanks for the quick reply. will the 7" upfront look too small?

**ludecrs** · 09-05-2008 02:23 PM

I run a 8" rear +43 and it fits perfecto, but an extra 1/2" wider and same offset won't work IMO.

I am running

17X8 +45 with 225/45/R17 - front
17X9 +63 with 245/40/R17 - rear

I haven't driven it much yet as I just mounted them on. Rear looks fine but front is kinda sticking out a bit and by calculation it is 15mm extra. Hope it doesn't rub, but I think it will be fine with some coilovers and camber kit.

^^ should be right. though fronts 225/40/17 should be fine. rear u can probably run 255/35/17?

Was planning on running 255 in the rears but the place I bought the tyres from only had 245. I bought some Buddyclub P1 QF's and mounted them with Continental conti sport contact 3's.
