I'd be very thankful if owners for chromium black wheels could have a look at this thread and tell me if they experience something similar

225/40r18 all around. Fortune 500 coils. I think I'm 2+in lower but I forgot.
The rears are natural camber, the fronts are... I donno LOL but it's on the 2nd line of the top camber plate.. I think it's 1-2degrees

Ill get a side shot as soon as the rain stops!!

Thanks!
If u got any questions ill try to answer!!!

im surprised the +35 pokes as much as it does up front. i thought you were on +20 all around..

1. True, but usually cars with aftermarket rims should be lowered to complement the look or it just looks funny.

2. Yeah, but you can always run camber to fix it up front

I checked when I got home and the front bumper had gotten stuck on the parking stop, that long piece of concrete to stop cars from driving past a parking space, and had pulled/ripped the front bumper out. It's not that bad and not noticable unless you get on your hands and knees to look under the bumper.

What this does is puts a damper on my plans to get rims/tires and drop the car an inch. This is what I was afaid of from the get go. It's already a stretch to get into my garage, but this had made me think twice. It's all a chain reaction. Rims/tires will eventually lead to a drop and so on and so forth.

I don't want to drop her an inch only to go through this again and something worse.

you ALREADY scraped it. might as well drop it.

It's the sacrifice you make in living the LOW LIFE.. Scraping will become a natural thing.

Driveways, parking lots and garages...Articulation as needed, when all possible, if not then go air. Most all my vehicles have been daily scraping static low and learned to articulate and know the roads well. Btw, I'm in L.A. we have quite different surface to contend with especially potholes; yet unlike our east coast peeps with their snow. Btw, road gators kill!

Looks great man! How do they feel? The whole set up.

[VADER]

As far as offset goes.. The higher the number, the deeper/concave it looks? Or is it the lower the number..??

[kmbkk]

The lower the # the deeper the concave. That is, until you get into negative offset, which is even more concave.

[lbroskee]

mine came with my car so other then 18x8.75 i have no clue on my details. any way to determine my offset?

Any side shots yet? PLEASE!

[SkAsphalt]

Offset does not always dictate concavity, rim width makes a big difference as well. I basically dictates poke or sunken in look of the wheel itself.
