FD/FN2/EP3 Wheel Setup Guide

[aero]

have u had people in the back yet? last year i was running 235/40 tyres on a 18x7.5 +42 rim (old set of tyres that came with the rims) and it scrubbed every time i did left turns and on dips. later i put on some 225s and there were no scrubbing issues at all even with a full car load and lowered suspension. also had 235s on 19x8.5 +35 rims and that scrubbed a bunch on stock suspension with just one person in the rear.

scrubbing on that rubber gas cover thiggy?? .. i looked at it..and looks like it goes flatter or deeper from the middle to the top area means you should get less scrub if your lower? but not really sure ey..

but no, i haven't tried it with people sitting at the back yet... let u'se know if i ever get to.

my wheel wore a hole straight through the gas line cover thing.

after rolling and a little pulling i can have a full load with no probs.

will 18x9.5 +30 fit on and fd?

what will it need? rolled guards + camber?

[aero]

mmk. i guess today we have established that 18x9.5 +30 all around will fit, but not with 235/40 tyres lol. im thinking 215s + camber will make them fit nicely without scrubbing.

have u got any pics of my car with all 4 wheels on, khoi?
