where would I get some camber bolts, and what is a good price for them? I just dont want any rubbing if I decide to go with the +20 in the rear. Or should i just go with +30 all around? I just dont want to start developing any problems.

A lot of great looking rides in this thread.


here's a few of mine lowered on Swift Sport Springs.

You can go to the local subby store and get the OE crash bolts or go on a ft86speedfactory and order your camber bolts there or you can try O'Riellys and get the spc camber bolts which a local forum member did. Believe it cost em like 20-30$. You can also purchase some LCA's in the near future so then all the worry you have about rubbing is eliminated. I know a local forum user in AZ has 20mm offset on all 4 corners but is on coils..... I don't think you will have any rubbing issues tho with a very mild drop. Just choose tires wisely

Are there any specific tires that would work good with this combo? I really don't know too much about wheels so any guidance or advice you have would be great and much appreciated. I was told to watch what tires you get because of sounding too loud also.

What diameter: 17 or 18?
What width: 8.75 or 9.75?

For 18x8.75, I used this table to compare and decide (first column is stock for reference).

In my opinion a 235 would fit really good on our 8.75 width wheel and a 245 maybe 255 on a 9.75 width wheel. I'll be doing a 235 next round to have a little less mild stretch but maybe a 245 will work also with only a 1 inch drop roughly. I'm so low I'll have to go with a 235 due to rubbing issues if I go with a 245 with most tires. So check out 235/40/18 or 245/40/18. Don't know if they make this size but a 245/35/18 may work also. Darren driver has a really good calculation system in the wheel forum(one of the sticky pages)

I will be going with the 18 x 8.75. I'm debating on just going +20 (rear) and +35 (front). But if I am going to have rubbing issues without rolling my wells I may just go with a square setup of +35's all around. What do you think?

WHEEL   |-- STOCK HEIGHT --|  |-- LOWERED 1" --|
WIDTH      FRONT     REAR       FRONT     REAR
7.0         +25       +18        +23       +13
7.5         +31       +24        +29       +19
8.0         +38       +31        +36       +26
8.5         +44       +37        +42       +32
9.0         +50       +43        +48       +38
9.5         +57       +50        +55       +45

WHEN LOWERED 1" YOU WILL NEED TO REDUCE THE FRONT OFFSET
BY 2MM AND THE REAR OFFSET BY 5MM FOR PERFECT FLUSHNESS

DECREASING THE OFFSET NUMBER PUSHES THE WHEELS OUT AND
INCREASING THE OFFSET SUCKS THE WHEELS IN.

I used @DarrenDriven's table above to approximate the following (1" drop for your interest and 1.4" drop for others' interest):

Flush 8.75" wide wheel offset with 1" drop
F: +45
R: +35

Flush 8.75" wide wheel offset with 1.4" drop
F: +44.2
R: +33

We can use the above to calculate flushness when 8.75 wide wheels have offsets locked to either +35 or +20:

8.75" wide +35 wheel flushness with 1" drop
F: +10mm (poke)
R: 0mm (flush)

8.75" wide +20 wheel flushness with 1" drop
F: +25mm (poke)
R: +15mm (poke)

8.75" wide +35 wheel flushness with 1.4" drop
F: +9.2mm (poke)
R: -2mm (tuck)

8.75" wide +20 wheel flushness with 1.4" drop
F: +24.2mm (poke)
R: +13mm (poke)

When we say "flush," I believe it is how far the rim face is relative to the outer surface of the fender. If you're concerned about rubbing, you might also want to consider the rear fender has a small lip, whereas, the front fender is rolled. So you'd want your rear wheels a little more tucked to prevent rubbing (assuming you don't roll the rear fenders) compared to the front wheels. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Should be the same regardless of rim diameter?

You are correct, sir. I removed wheel diameters from my post.

wanting to buy 527's 18x8.75 +35 (front) 18x8.75 +20 (rear) color doesnt matter. going to PC. if the deals right tires too.

only place i can find them is on flebay... now i know one can get awesome deals on items there.. but id rather support a vendor or a forum reference.

can anyone guide me to "that one guy?"

fr-s on Tein S tech springs. Front dropped 1.22 inches (-31mm) rear dropped 1.02 inches (-26mm)

looking for a mild/wild stretch could go 215 or 225

Pm joeboxer for the wheels hookup , and then pm a member Umpadupa for the 18x8.75 +35f and +20R , I believe he run that setup... He has a whiteout and a flatblack xxr527 setup.

I'm running 17x8.25 with the stock Michelins tires with a mild stretch ... Hope that helps
