FD/FN2/EP3 Wheel Setup Guide

nah not the fender lining, if you take your rear wheels off, its the plastic lining on the left rear wheel i believe, that covers your fuel tank line

[chrishood]

Are you referring to this?

[Stig]

lol yeah that, no biggy though unless you are fussed about it being there

[chrishood]

Hmmm... what could be a quick fix to this problem?
Would it possess a long term risk if I left it riding in the x9 for a month and then having the ripped lining last through winter?

im riding on 17x9 +35 right now with no issues on inner clearance. on coilovers and 215/40/17s tho. i think that if i were to run 235s on em there would probably be some issues with inner clearance and guard scrubbing.

[chrishood]

Hmmm... I'm going to talk to the guy to see if I can keep my 225/40/17 rt615's and have a local tireshop swap the tires out.
I doubt he will be happy with that, but its worth a try!

18x8 +45 on coils should be fine yeh? but people have said 45 offset is bad... why so??

[aero]

+45 isnt bad unless ur go any wider than 8". then u'll probably run into inner clearance issues. but 18x8 +45 just wont compliment the look of the car as much, since it will sit a fair bit inside the guards. i think flush fitment looks much better. gives cars better stance

[Stig]

if you're talking about the gold work meisters in 18x8+45, i've been running them for about a week one thing i can say, no scrubbing ftw (1 finger tyre tucked)

[black8thgen]

haha yeah those meisters.... kinda thinking about them, but dont think they would look that great cos ive got the mugen wing on my car so yeaaaah =[...

how's it look in regards to stance stig?

[Stig]

i think it will look alright with the wing, as for stance i like it to be flush but flush always results in scrubbing and im sick of it now lol

quite enjoyed running around with the meisters actually, looks alright

[black8thgen]

any pics? =D
