Stock offset is 39... I would stay close to that. 20-30mm offset in a rim that wide would probably rub on the inside. Check the wheel's weight before you buy. Stock wheel is like 27 lbs. Anything heavier than that is going to rob you of power and fuel economy.

not that aggressive, definitely could fit more with stretch/poke/slam

I think your sizing is pretty close, not real aggressive, but would put you out to the fenders.

I know youre thinking staggered fitment, but also the front wheel wells are big on the tC2, so you might be able to just order all 4 wheels one size and still be able to rotate them front to back. (just a thought!)

Im not sure we will have a whole lot of info on here until someone is slammed and test fits and buys aggressive fitting wheels.

Later,

Austin

I also was checkin out the sizing for the CR-Kai, and it looks like the 9.5j is the widest they sell, that sucks

At least you can get it in +12 offset

On the suspension,

Depending on how low you wanna go, either lowering springs or a full adjustable coilover set. The difference being price, ride quality, "lowness", and adjustability. The latter of the two is gonna cost you and currently there aren't any on the market for the tC2.

I personally am just waiting it out for a nice quality coilover set to come out, but many have purchased lowering springs as a simple way make the car lower (up to around ~2" lower) until the coilovers are released.

PM me if you need anymore info,

Austin
