With a +35 offset would the 8.75" rims with 225-235 tires not poke up front? I don't want any. Rather have it sunk in but can't find +38's anymore.

35 will poke some if on stock suspension. Camber bolts will fix that

Eibach pro kit should eliminate about 2-4mm and same with rear due to natural camber in the rear. I have a 35 offset and lowered on eibach pro kit and have about maybe less or a tad but more than 2mm. Camber bolts will work cause you can dial the front to about -1.5 and also you can get some LCA or whitelines rear bushing camber kit and dial the rear to just -1.0 and the car will have same look (super clean looking, trust me)

Thanks for this info.

Just out of curiosity, how does a 1" drop (from the Pro Kit) increase the offset? The Flush Wheel Offset Chart says that to be flush with a 1" drop, front wheels that are 8.75" wide need an offset of 42-48.

My offset is 33 so looks like there'll still a way to go! I was also told not to change camber as it will wear out tyres.

With an inch drop it still changes a lot within the suspension. I noticed people that are on stock suspension that the front wheels sticks out way more than mine that is dropped which is why I came to the conclusion. Now changing camber, if you go past -2 camber you will start seeing lots of wear but with your camber at about -1.25 to -1.5 that's not much camber. I will say that you might wanna rotate front tires back n forth and flipped them to even wear out but from what I have been told been many friends who are running crazy camber that a -1.25 in the front won't do anything to wear and you'll have a better response in turning . Now another route you can take is just simple crash bolts! Those you can get some camber, I believe about an inch the most and those are used anyways for if a car gets into an accident and alignment shop can't get it into factory spec so they put those on to fix it up. If you don't wanna go thru tread wear go this route. But if you can put up with rotating tires a little bit more than go with camber bolts so you can have the ability to change out some camber if you decide to autox

Thats beautiful, same set up I want, but I assume stock suspension? That seems to poke out more than I like, I'm planning on some eibach or H&R's I'm hope that with some camber bolt will fix the poking. I love the concavity though.

Got my 527s mounted and balanced today... will probably mount them on the car late next week. Still expecting another day of snow here

Yah its on stock suspension, but when i have some change laying around
i will drop it on some eibachs and like you said get some camber bolts for the
front. But im very happy with the specs i went with
I love the wide stance!

530s +33 look much better with Eibach Pro Kit

Yeah that does look much better, how's the poke up front? Would you say camber bolt is necessary?

I like your thinking :happy0180:
Are you going with pro kit of sportlines? Pro kit looks just fine, but I wonder if sportlines will make just flush enough

Yeah I will be purchasing coils for more drop. Car would look soooo good with the 530 and 527 when car is slammed. I am running eibach pro kit also so those might be for sale soon
