Default Lowest offset question...

I have a change to get a set of VS-XX Works in 18x8 +34 front and 18x9.5 +32 in the rear. Rubbing issues? Am i am to run this set-up?

I think the rear is a bit extreme, but i had to check.. I did a search and did find this setup..

Does anyone have EXPIERENCE with this set up. I think i am ok in the front. Of course i will be running either 225/40/18 or 35/18 front but dont know in the rear.. 265/40or35/18 or 245/40or35/18... If this is able to work...

Thanks..

you'll rub a little in the rear even with rolled fenders, but it'll look TITE!!! i'd do it anyway lol. since youre on hotchkis springs, you should rub a little if you dont have any car audio in the trunk nor carry rear passengers (you'll be a 2 seater from now on). if youre on coilover (which your sig implies), then crank the rears to the stiffest setting and put 1.5-2 finger gap in the rear to minimize rubbing. dialing in some negative camber helps too.
fronts tires should be 225/40
rears should be 235/40 (maybe 245/40). youre gonna have to stretch the tires. falkens and toyos stretch real good. wider tires will majorly F-up your rear fenders.

you'll rub. if you don't want to rub you'll need to jack those coils all the way up.

good luck with it if you chose to do so
