*** Aggressive wheels? Post them up! *** Thread

[Shinchu]

Use your words?

Ok, rules...

Finally got my wheels after waiting a whole year after buying the car.
Bone stock other than pbm coilovers. No spacers.
I will post specs and moar pics when i get tires mounted, need to stop by pbm and pick up lugnuts.

so sick. wish I had monies for those wats. you could just put some CBY style fender flares on it (ZG style like the red one last page) and those wheels would fit like a glove. I would do it but... monies. plus mine is a lease so I don't want to go cutting up fenders just yet.

still need to get my tires mounted. weekends have been shot lately. will post as soon as its done! hopefully I can fit these without fender mods for reasons stated above...

I got pretty lucky because the fitment is dead on and tucks perfectly. It could be your tire size, or how your offset is pretty far out. I'm no pro. Just trying to help. Here is my Alignment sheet and a picture I just took to show you how it sits. My front still needs to be lowered more but will easily tuck like the rear does. I don't have control arms or front camber bolts. The front strut for the Bags is camber adjustable, the back is not. Hope this helps!

Sorry to bring this post up back from the dead.. but on your rear camber since you didn't have any lcas, did you notice any difference on the tire wear since the camber is off on each side.
my rear right now is left -3.0 right is -3.5 and was wondering if that .5 is critical since I do not have any lcas.

Ok stock tires on 17x9.5 +20
Rear camber is all stock, sitting on pbm coils with front camber nearly stock.

Yes im going to drop it more and take better pics. Just got back from tire shop and snapped this pic.

Ok took a couple days of hand tools in the street but... here she is!



But i have the slightest *clank* from my pbm lower arms. Anybody else have this problem? About to start a thread i think. Its slight but im scared to drive as hard as i usually do.

Thought i had more but this is all i took same day. I need to detail the car and get some nice shots done. With an actual camera lol
Also need an alignment. I matched the pbm arms to the stock lowers. That said, you CAN run these wheels with the stock arms, just cant go 235 tires. 225 maybe. Im still on the stock 215 lol
Looks super aggresive in person! Wheel shop didnt think would fit but when they got it down from the lift they were like whoooaaa!!!!
I just said this old guy still got it haha

Serious question.. What do you think about 18x13 -27 square? think I can squeeze it without flares? I'm well aware I will need to roll and pull (more than I have) and add a lot of neg camber to squeeze it, but is it doable?

this will not work at all and with flares youll need serious camber

this is 17x10.5-30 and 18x12.5 -10 with -5 camber in the front and -2 in the rear

Jeez, I thought my setup was aggressive til I opened this thread lol.

Your car looks great!
Alright so I just did a bunch of calculating... To pull this off WITHOUT pulling my fender more I will need -15.5 degrees of camber in the rear and -16 up front. But it IS in fact doable. Took me kind of a while to figure out how I would calculate it but I got it. I would need new rear upper control arms as well as front lower control arms (possibly front upper as well). I think -16 is a little much for me though, I really would like less than -12 so I think with how I figured this out I will see what the max width I can run is and also look into pulling my fenders more. If I am able to pull both front and rear fenders 1" that will decrease the camber to -11.75 rear and -12.25 front. That is still VERY aggressive camber though... I guess we shall see!
