almost "flush" but I'm filling out my fenders decently till I can afford ichiba v2 spacers and new tires to stretch

^^roll those fenders mann

I am once my friend finishes using it on his truck , but it's not needed yet as I surprisingly dont rub at all.

u wanna trade lmao

Figured it couldn't hurt to ask before I pull the trigger on adapters...

Specs I'm looking at after adapters will be:

17x8.5 all around
F: et37
R: et30

Id like to run 215/45's. Do guys think ill have to worry about more than a little fender rolling? Ive had some body work in a rear fender, and dont wanna funk it up. I'm on rokkors now, all the way down on stock wheels. And if I can safely go a little wider in the rear, I'm down with that.

man you good!

you will rub in the back for sure. i had 18*8 et 30 with the spacers and i had to roll the fenders all around.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Copy that. Much appreciated. I really dont even want to be at that width in the fronts, but thats with the thinnest adapters from motorsport-tech. I thought you could go 15mm, but apparently thats for cars with a different lug requirement. And as for the rears, I'm thinking any mud used in the fender mending shouldn't* be up near the top of the fender, but im bound to find out :)

And I know the tire sizes and offsets I'm looking at aren't aggressive, but I figured you guys would know about how it'd work out. Thanks.

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7252/7009736721_dfe95a18b3_c.jpg

How can you even notice the holes? lol
I'm too busy admiring the rest of the car.

What are your specs and tire sizes if i may know?

it's because i see his car too much.. lol he updates me with every picture he gets of his car ;)

^^^Lol. Understandable.

I feel your pain. My adapters should be here tomorrow. Thinnest they could fabricate them was 19mm. Which is what i ordered.

18x10 +20 all around. 225/35/18 for tire specs

Thank you! Wanted to get an idea of how far out my 18x9.5 +16 were gonna fit in the rear. How much modifying was done to the fenders to be that low???

so i have 18*9.5 et38 plus 10mm spacer in the back and i had to roll fender do this trimmings and still put the wheel in -2.5 degree camberhttp://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/189884_203108153041385_100000266061807_753674_2810655_n.jpg

That's pretty much what mine look at with 25mm on my Super 7's. I was debating on going to 2deg on my next alignment. Maybe I'll go more.

Not that mine are considered aggressive. So you're 9.5 +28 effective?

Anyone now were we can find those stretchable cv boot kits? Wanna try them out cause ive been through so many axles within a couple months. Or anyone already tried them and wouldnt mind giving feedback on them? Also link please! Thanks in advance

^I remember the link posted to eBay in the axle replacement DIY. Never did get an update of anyone that has tried them. I'm interested in getting a set of those also.

Thank you. Appreciate it.

What were your specs again? I thought more stretch was going to be necessary

18x9.5 +16 effective rear
18x8.5 +16 effective front

I'm running 215/40 front and 225/40 back.
Minor stretch. First time in the fitment game and i'm experimenting.
Fronts fit perfect.

I have 0 camber out back so they were poking and rubbing like crazy.
Fenders rolled and slightly pulled today, getting an alignment out back to see if -4 camber does the trick.
If not i'm getting my fenders pulled/flared.
If i have to, i'll run 215/40 all around.

Its not the fenders where you gonna have problem. You need to dremel away some from the rear bumper and the tab that holding it and some metal too..

I heard you have to do some modification to get them to stay on or fit. I'm just going with OEM this time around. It held up for two years slammed the first time.

Yea I am also going to stick with the oem boots. They did last a while...

Yeah. I saw where it was rubbing where the bumper meets the Rear quarter panel. Gonna do the trimming on that as soon as the weather clears.

Edit: Just noticed that you posted a pic of what you trimmed on the previous page. Follow anything specifically? Or do i just cut away??

Completely off topic for right now, but did anyone else make it to Lakefront Meet 6 in New Orleans this past weekend. Saw a couple other tc's out there that were lookin' good.

i ended up having to work sunday, but a few of my buddies were down there with tcs. and some other baller rides.

Yea, I rolled there with a group from the Rebellion on the River show. It was a great turnout Sunday. Tons of nice cars.

An on topic question....

So what do you guys think..can runnin on 18x9.5+25.be an aggressive stance?

Want get an aggressive stance without having to pull my backs. Thanks!

Yeah that's a great fitment. But remember, aggressive "stance" refers to the combination of wide-fitting wheels and a low drop. A fender roll on the rear and natural camber should be enough to let you tuck tire. You might have to clear some of that rear bumper tab as well.

Thanks Jasper..got the drop already..looking for the wheels now blah..I have the backs cut. Problem I have with the backs with rolling/pulling is I got hit in that area so there is bondo soewhere around there. Rolling em would just crack everthing.

Yeah you'll have a hard time tucking tire with that fitment without rolling. I think Devin is at 18x8 +35 and he's pretty close to rubbing without rolled fenders.

Another option would be shaving the fenders.

Im loving all these stanced out tC's and im looking on getting wheels for mine but I just dont know what to go with......I wana keep my car as low as it is and run 235/40r17 all around. Im on the new Tein BASIS coilovers all the way down and my quarters are NOT rolled...... I have an 05 rs1.0 (red) any suggestions?

what? lol

The side skirts in the pic above yours, NOT SURE IF LIKE

oh ya agree'd

Which wheel do you guys think are better? Vote in


CCW: LM20 or LM5?????

the scene seems less saturated with the LM5 but I think I like the LM20 better and I'm not always a mesh wheel fan.

^^ Im undecided. i want to go with the LM5 for the reason that there is not many if any out there but i keep going back to the LM20s

Best advice get what u like and think will look good ppl will always hate no matter what keep us posted

Finally, got my wheels on. After rolling/pulling my fenders, a lot of cutting and hammering and some headaches because i didn't listen to the advice on here and tried fitting 225/40 on a 9.5 with +16 offset, i can FINALLY post here :biggrin:

Picture from the test fit. Didn't finish until 1 am so i'll take full pictures tomorrow.

Why did you go with such a beefy tire?

I LOVE the way 225/40s look on a 9.5. It's just so hard to fit them when a heavy drop.

Jasper i have them fit :P just takes work

Sidekick 4G

LOL Be careful.... Fender might buckle. Happened to me when I was on 225/40s.

Why did you go with such a beefy tire?

First time on stance. Bad decisions lol
Would 215/40 make that much of a difference?

Jasper i have them fit :P just takes work

Please.. enlighten me. How did you do it. Pics?


@ Jasper- I love how they look but i cant go any lower. I've cut, hammered, rolled and pulled. If i go any lower than this i rub driving any speed higher than 5 mph. Advice?

There's not much you can do other than getting smaller tires. I've been there and I ran out of ways to make it work. 215/40s definitely make a lot of difference.

You can see pics of the cae in some posts I've made in this thread in recent days and also u can check it out on dailydetergent.com (jaspers blog :D )

As far as how I did it well I have maxxed out negative camber in the rear the rear fenders are also rolled (by me) no cutting the bumper or shaving n I removed the bolt on each side so it doesn't rub. it doesn't rub at all not even on huge bumps we have here in miami. Now the fronts I have maxxed out camer on stock bolts with the the front fenders rolled as well (by me) no shaving no cutting either but I need slightly more camber up front as it does rub a bit up front so I'm not as low as id like to be in the front but its nothing I can't handle right now and its mainly on dips that r decent size. Both front and rear I tuck a bit of tire.

wow. so hmm. 215/40 makes that much of a difference huh.... guess im going for 215's after my 235/35 wears out. anyone on here with 235/35 on 9.5 like me?

i rolled and pull (a little) all fenders and cut/hammered the rear bumper tab and metal and i'm still rubbing a tiny bit in the rear driver side when im driving tucking tire.

for those running 215 on 9.5: do you ever feel like the tire is going to debead? i take my turns a little faster on like ramps cuz of my rear sway. :)

Ah, yes! I have seen that blog. Super sick car man. All 3 cars are dope.
I'm running +16 offset, so it's a bit more poke to deal with.

Yea. I guess you're right. I might have my fenders flared a little instead. We'll see.

Thanks n yeah I know but I had a previous set up with lower offset idr now as this is my 7th set of wheels in a lil less than 3 years of owning the car lol but I def say it it could be also the type of tires u r running as some r run wider than others (I work for a tire wholesaler) n there's a dif in every tire I can tell u that much but it takes time work n patience for sure

^ yeah at first I could only find them overseas as well then after a little more searching I was able to find a US seller actually out of Nevada, basically the Miro's stp1, which I wanted before but after those got discontinued I went with these but they're a little more expensive than the Miro's were, but either way I'm happy with them can't wait to get them on and I know I will be putting some work in somewhere down the road :icon_smile:

Everyones' tc's are looking good. Looking for a little input on tire sizing. What do you guys think about a setup of 17x10 +20 wheels with some temporary 225/45/17's? I know it is a pretty tall tire, but seeing if anyone has experimented with this before. I will be rolling fenders, of course. No pulling them as of yet since I am leery about an area that was bondo'd before.

well... i think you will have problem with the bondoed area pulling or not. as long as they try to roll it they will ruin your fender. imho.. tire size is... meeee... i guess depends how low u are and how much camber they will dial in. it might be ok

you may have to get them flared out alot, or it'll look like a mexi-flush

these wheels are the specs that u posted but with a tire of 225/40/17's and they're still kinda too big, you'll barely be able to drop it

Youre going to need a 215/40/17. i have 17x10 +25 in the front and i rub turning full lock with the 215/40.

LoLing hard on that celica. Most slammed cars look sick while being driven but that looks straight ridiculous. You can even hear the crowd laugh, and I even might've heard a couple facepalms

I'm amazed that it's[the Celica] driven. You know the saying of duct tape lol.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v236/jeremy7117/nuisance-tc.png brand new fenders, havnt painted them yet.

^I have a sudden hunger for pizza now. Get them fenders painted, doing the painting yourself?

Thanks for the input guys. might be looking into a 17x9 +25 instead of a 10. I doubt i can get away with pulling my fenders and i hate the "mexi-flush" look. i guess it would still be aggressive enough with the x9, right? Eventually I will be on 225/35/17 or 215/40/17 hopefully. think i could get away with the x9 and 225/45/17's since the offset and width wont put it past the fender as much?

^^^looks amazing Jeremy.

thanks. yes, im painting them myself. hopefully it'll be fine. haha. and dmar07, im 17x10. do u see any mexiflush in my car at all? haha.

Thanks for the input guys. might be looking into a 17x9 +25 instead of a 10. I doubt i can get away with pulling my fenders and i hate the "mexi-flush" look. i guess it would still be aggressive enough with the x9, right? Eventually I will be on 225/35/17 or 215/40/17 hopefully. think i could get away with the x9 and 225/45/17's since the stretch wont put it past the fender as much?

You're not very smart.

lol i love when you come in here and post randomly.

mexi-flush ftl indeed, but Dmar you've been wrongfully miseducated...

please familiarize yourself with the chart and choose your words carefully

although the hellafail can be acceptable in some cases and should consider being revised...

You're not very smart.
I don't see that as being the problem. I have been following this thread for a while and finally at the point where i can afford to get into the stance game. I am simply trying to get some final info before I waste my money on something that will not work properly on the tc. As far as the not being very smart comment, I do believe that being in AP, the Gifted Program, and advanced classes throughout growing up qualifies me as not being a dumb person. I am just not experienced in the fitment scene yet, so I was hoping to get some good input from people who have experimented with multiple setups. So until you have met me, I would appreciate you not making assumptions about my intelligence. I have looked up to many people that have been posting in this thread, including you Hayseed. It is true that I am not "smart" in this certain topic, but I am sure you were in my situation when starting out and had questions. I am simply asking for good advice from more experienced people. However, I have no hard feelings towards you Hayseed. I am not a "drama" kind of person.

thanks. yes, im painting them myself. hopefully it'll be fine. haha. and dmar07, im 17x10. do u see any mexiflush in my car at all? haha.
Haha I don't have your magical fitment powers. I'm kidding. I was just referring to if I was on 225/45/17's, I might not be able to drop mine low enough and get enough camber dialed in to keep mine from looking like mexi-flush on my current suspension setup. I was also referring to the picture that dam262a posted as looking kinda mexi-flush and how I don't want to look like that.

you may have to get them flared out alot, or it'll look like a mexi-flush

these wheels are the specs that u posted but with a tire of 225/40/17's and they're still kinda too big, you'll barely be able to drop it

That is what I was worried about. I bet with some more camber he could get it a bit lower. Do you happen to know the camber specs on that car? It doesn't seem to have very much negative at all.

Damn son. AP classes. Special Gifted program. That ____ is HARDCORE.

If you're so smart, break out a ruler and measure. Its really not that hard, plus you might just learn a thing or two. Do some research on sidewall sizes and find out why no one uses 45 series.

I am not "HARDCORE," nor am I trying to say I am. I am new to the fitment game, and I am NOT an expert on it. That is the reasoning behind my questions. I understand that not many, if anyone, uses a 45 series tire. It is a fairly tall tire, and I stated my understanding of that in earlier posts. I was just curious if anyone had even tried. I am well aware that I will more than likely have to stay away from anything larger than a 215/40 or 225/35, but as I said, I was just curious. And as for the research, I have done quite a bit. I have acutally been following this thread for well over a year...acutally before I even had an account on SL. I don't see a reason for the hostility between us. I am trying to be a humble, chill guy...

Well do more research. All the info you need is in this thread. Otherwise you just look ignorant. 17x9 +25 will not be aggressive. It'll be barely flush. Stretch has nothing to do with how far the wheels stick out. Research, and come up with something on your own. Thats 90% of the fun.

Bro just get the wheels and don't put them on til u have the 215/40 n u will b fine 225/35 weak sauce on a 9 and do ur self a favor DO NOT put a 45 series tire period unless u wanna have buckled fenders n end up costing u more money than if u do it right the FIRST time

Thanks man. I don't mean to sound ignorant, as I know I have much to learn about this stuff. I was simply looking for some sound advice. I'm sorry if I didn't convey my ideas well in words; I know stretch has nothing to do with how far the wheel sticks out, offset of the wheel including spacers and such does. Stretch just allows for a wider wheel as the tire won't rub the fender as much when dropped and proper camber is dialed in.

According to that chart, I'm at hella-fail lolol

According to that chart, I'm at hella-fail lolol

It looks awesome though.

On my 7, my fronts are hellafail, rears just plain flush. Looks funky

i cant wait to see our setup dude. anyways, here's a most recent pic of my car.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v236/jeremy7117/nuisance-tc.png brand new fenders, havnt painted them yet.

^ haha thanks jeremydoc, yeah hopefully it comes out nice, your car always looks dope man and the stance is awesome really on point, hope I will be able to have just as nice as a setup after its all said and done! :cool: but i know i have some work, blood, sweat, and tears ahead of me in the future to accomplish it.:P and damnit call me crazy but, I swear lately everytime I see an RS1 lip kit with an aggressive setup and stanced so nice like Jeremydoc's is I feel the need to switch up my OEM lip kit, but I think that later after fitment is all said and done I will keep my OEM lip kit but also just get an RS1 lip kit for the hell of it so I can mix and match lol :)

I wish everyone could post their wheel specs so noobies like me can see what I need for a certain flushness. :/

a lot of people do, or they have in the past. OR you can go as far as to visit their build threads.

Looks dope Jeremy

True but I guess people got lazy, lol... and not everyone has a build thread. Bleh, no biggie I guess.

I would venture to say 95% of the guys who post in here have a build thread. Maybe more lol

Just follow this chart!

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e350/nebster530/wheelfitments.jpg

Put in your wheel specs(or what you want to run) and search. People have posted their wheel specs at least one time, you expect it to be posted in every page?

www.willtheyfit.com

^Also that. I don't get why some are scared to break out the measuring tape for. The better setups have been found through actually putting in work, not just given.

The better setups have been found through actually putting in work, not just given.

^ Quote of the year. Which is why I stay quiet about my specs these days. You can either copy my fitment/style - or sweat and curse at your car to achieve something better. Fitment isn't special anymore because everyone looks like everyone else and forums are to blame. It's a good an evil kind of thing.

Agree'd

I think i found MAYBE 4 pics on here to help me decide what size adapters to go with. After searching thru hundreds of pages on here, and googling. Its not really always about copying... sometimes its dudes like me that dont want to pay for the wrong size adapters or wreck their fenders :) And specs used to be required to post in here, but rules were made to be broken.

Saw this earlier:

http://www.stancenation.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/23.jpg

SICK!

I'm trying to figure out how that "rule" made it onto the baller/custom wheel thread. They spent the time to figure their custom wheels specs, shouldn't have to post them. This thread has been around long enough that a baseline of wheel sizing/specs have been figured with running off the shelf wheels running similar specs, it's going to take a bit of tweaking to get things set how you want. Does it help posting specs yes, and if it's an off the shelf wheel why not? But if someone has something custom order I don't expect them to throw their numbers out there, or at least anytime soon.

SICK!

WHAT WHEELS ARE THESE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!

Not sure, car is from Japan.

WHAT WHEELS ARE THESE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!

If I recall SSR, forgot the model.

EDIT:\/Thanks\/

The wheels on that tC from Japan are SSR SP3's

there is a set for sale on WFC lol

I was thinking SSR, there's a video on Vimeo (http://player.vimeo.com/video/37899068) sure you can see them better there. http://vimeo.com/37899068

God dam that looks ____ing hard man good ____! How the hell did you do that lol

That blue Tc with the SSRs has too much camber in the rear imo, maybe if the front had a little it wouldn't look so ridiculous. and Jeremy car is looking pretty sick.

I'm looking at a set of rims for mine because I think 2 are warped, but would 205/40 be too much of a stretch for a wheel 9.75" wide? My currents wheels are 8".

Yup..Damn FWD cars wanna be RWD cars w/ Camber...Never understood that.

Also wish this dude did something Unique w/ threst of the Exterior..looks stockish.

It just needs a lip kit to hide the tire. A lot of people have ran that much camber.

BECAUSE JAPAN.

it's quite a bit of camber but think it looks pretty dope. Wonder how many degrees...

Thats going to be pretty burly. I went with 225/35 on my 9.75 which is a pretty good stretch. I had a 205/35 on my 9.5 and a 215/45 on my 10.5 both were pretty _____ stretches.

Very nice work Jeremy, looks real clean.

Why do i LOVE those black style 5's so much? Man they look good!
More pics??

Azul, which tires are you running if you don't mind me asking? I'm on 205/40 all around, fronts are Falken 512, rears are Capitol Sport UHP. Never again will I go with the Capitols, Falkens looks and stretch better.

Falken 512's 205/40 all around. yea falken has a better stretch.

I love them! They're 17x9 all around right?

Nope 17x8.

^This, 17x8 +20; I'm not running adapters which is why mine don't poke out like others that have ran these. The 9" wide are harder to find if I recall, along with getting 18s.

Yea those 18's and 17x9 do exist but much harder to find. So you redrilled that set?

Good job on the redrill. Jono I like that front one, white face polished lip. Thinking of the same thing later on.

Thank the shop lol. I stripped the center cap tool using a 12 point socket :doh:, so guess I won't be lowering the car anytime soon. The center caps are tough to take off on my wheels.

Center caps are a bit difficult to remove well not if u gorilla grip. But buy a center cap remover on eBay $10, and then use a 17mm wrench comes off easily. But put some tape on the inside if u powder coat the wheels so it won't damage the paint.

I got the center caps and tool in a few days from a local shop so I'll be giving them a call to order another. I'll try the gorilla grip tactic and to remember about taping the centers after paint.

While everyone's on the style 5 kick...

Password JDM style clips? I'm not a big fan of them either. A lot of people in my area have them now. Kinda throws off the clean look imo. Your car looks good, nonetheless.

YUP! Got a hammer and a dremel and went to work! Lol.
BARELY rub now. Just on harder turns. Although, im not fully satisfied because the rear is too high..doesn't look right.

HD Lip?....haha brings back memories!

haha..Best Lip out for the tC! :icon_smile:

In the pic u posted seems like the rear is lower than the front but could just be the angle the pic was taken n u rubbin rear or front?

Sidekick 4G

Yes. It's definitely the angle lol. Front's don't rub at all.
I'm going to try to take better pictures one of these days.

Damn my issue is in the front not the rear the rear doesn't rub a all but the front rubs a bit n on turns mostly but big dips u can hear it rub up front

Sidekick 4G

Cut the bumper tabs off, roll your fenders more, add camber, get smaller tires. That solves rubbing.

Fenders are rolled flat, pulled/hammered. Camber is nearly maxed. (3.75 i think)
Tab's and some metal was cut and ziptied. My tires are just too big. i need to change to 215/40's

Thank you sir. Plan on going lower as soon as i get smaller tires. No painted faces for me. I'm planning on rocking these for some months and i'll just trade them for something else. I restored/polished them and man was it work..they're staying like that!

Right on, time for smaller rubber lol. And thanks man, but they are on their way to a new home in WA I know.. i read it somewhere on Scionlife. You just put them on though!

I actually prefer Yay Jaw Knee's drop & look over Tom's....No Offense Tom...

Ooohhh I always thought they were the 18s for some reason. I always thought he needed to go lower but in this pic he looks low but has some gap up front and I couldn't figure out why hahaha. Well now that I understand I like it much better.

Looks great man!!!

Edit Harrison, the springs settled another inch since that pic. The rears i still wanna go a littttttttle lower. Fronts are money. I will post another pic today if i get a chance i took some at the beach last night.

you think i shud just save some trouble and go with 18.8.75s in the front?

That depends what kind of work you want to do or have done already to fit the wheels man...

I have these exact rims I actually like them, even more now specially when I slapped them on my car. I just need to add a lil more camber and go wit a 35 series tire rubbing like crazy

Well, I don't have "aggressive" fitment yet, but i'm getting a little closer to where I want to be. Finally got a set of wheels that I like. I know they aren't "high end", but I'm not a wheel snob and I just really wanted to go with something different that no one around me has on any vehicle. I'm in love with my wheels and I can't wait to go lower and get my spacers that I ordered to make me more flush.

18"x8" all around. Ti-17 wheels wrapped in 215/35 tires. Held on by matching Muteki Neo-Chrome lug nuts. Will get new tires with more stretch once I go lower later this season. This was just a starting point, as I'm new to the fitment game.

With that being said, here's what I got so far. Take a look and feel free to shoot me and feedback or advice! Thanks a lot!

See: http://www.scionlife.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4018308&postcount=3699

If you're not aggressive, there's another thread for posting pics of your wheels. This thread is for pics where aggressive fitment has already been achieved.

Sidekick 4G

Thanks! Like -3ishh F & around -4 in the R, also i am just a tad bit lower then in this pix now.

Ok ok yur on a 225/40 or 215/40?

Sidekick 4G

great Zeus' beard, that looks phenomenal. kinda makes me glad i got that color, i originally wanted flat black, but found a good deal from a dude off craigslist. are you running camber plates btw?

Johnny - I'm running 215/40/18 but ima downgrade to a 35 series just to get a lil more clearance cause I don't want to keep buckling fenders. Lol as u can c on this pix of how much clearance I have

SoCal- flat black was my first choice too but my last rims were that color so I wanted to go different this time and honestly I think it was a good choice on the gold. What color is your tC? Yea I have camber plates and there maxed out rear stock camber arms are also maxed. How much you get the rims for? These things are apparently on back order now just like the xxr527

black. i feel gold on black is way too played out? iuno we'll see. and wow yea looks like i'll def need camber plates judging from your pictures. and whoever pulled your fenders did a great job.

i got the rims for 550, tires on next paycheck! and yeah, the guy said he waited over 2 months for them

Naw, it's gonna look dope! Good choice in my opinion. What coilovers do you have? U can just buy some ingals camber bolts I believe u get up to -3 degrees.Yea I also paid $550 for mine. Yea AWD Albert does dope a$$ fender work

What offset are these?

Fenders look good. I've seen some of AWD-fitted's work turn out great and others not so great.

Rims are 18x9.75+20et

pretty aggressive, seem to have made them fit well.

Thanks! I've very happy with my fitment

^ show off haha jk.!

I want my stance like that :(

Haha, sup tito?!? U have some stance so post up pixs.

My favorite thread right here:bow: Looking good everybody!
Allright guys, if everything works out I should be revealing my setup this Sunday at Scion Expo. Actually, make it 2 new set ups, just finished my wife's xb last weekend:biggrin: After 4 long months of waiting I'm finally getting my coilovers. Delivery is tonight! Also picking up my other 3 wheels from the tire shop tonight when I get off work. They only were able to put 1 tire on yesterday and that took them like 45 minutes. That should give you idea for stretch I'm doing lol You will also see negative offsets and maybe even double digits negative camber (hopefully I don't have to go that far lol) I'll post some sneak peaks later on tonight so stay tuned:lalala: This is going to be fun weekend!

Negative offsets eh? I went zero, but i would LOVE to see what you're up too!

^ 0 all around? If so than my fronts should poke exactly the same. Rear 10 mm more than you.
