Which is why you man up and go lower in offset :P

Haha your car is nice and you are correct about the camber not having as much to do about wear as toe does.

You really are one negative cat though and always have to make yourself out to be smarter then everyone else lol. You clearly wrote toe but couldn't take the time to write camber? Why even write or not write either? It's pretty obvious the way you wrote it that someone quickly reading it would get it wrong. Maybe you just wanted a reason to make yourself feel better lol.

But you screen name is Stance86. Can't have that and run those weak offsets

Ebphoto did it right. I still have yet to see one that looks as good as his.
I think most people would agree that 18x9.5+38 is not a 'weak' offset as you say on an 86.. if it were an S14 then yes it would be weak. It's all relative. And for the record I also have an S13 with stock guards on 17x10+4 and 18x10+11.

and poke? lol pretty sure you're in the mexi set if you run 9.5 and like +20 or 15 or something on stock

I agree though, go lower offset with coils

you can run 235s on +30 in the rear.
fronts can fit way more easier.
if you are looking to fit tire though you will need to be in the high 30s or low to mid 40s in offset... but run the risk of touching inward.
This guy is doing it right.

Camber doesn't kill tires, camber AND toe does.

Also reckon that @ephoto has nailed the fitment issue. Listen to this man.

If you go lower offset that his setup (even with hella camber) you'll poke, will have issues fitting rubber and might need to do bodywork.

If you want more rubber then you'd need to go higher offset.

I'm on 8 inch wide Ultraleggeras with a 38 offset, 225/40/18s and around 1.5 camber all around on coils. Tires are tucked in to my arches quite a bit. Definitely room to run a slightly more aggressive offset it I wanted...guessing mid to low 30s with the same camber & tires, give or take depending on rim width.

Yeah but you have remember not all wheels come in desired sizes and pcd. There isn't that many selections at the minute. It's different with 3p wheels because you can customise what size you want.
