So let me introduce myself my name is Michael Im from Norcal. I'm not new to modifying cars at all. Just see my signature. Heres the thing I want to put a nice stance on this bad boy. Im thinking about Tein S Techs and running an 18x9.5 with an ET of 30 mm. The tire size I'm looking for is 225/45. Is there anyone who is running close to those numbers to see what it looks like? Thank you.

 

45 profile tire with a +30mm offset on S techs?....guess you got the right SN "Tha_Insane" lol you gonna rip through your tires and fenders in no time!!!! lower profile i say 35 series...we have a few members here pushing a +25mm offset on coilovers and have had no issues I know of on rubbing but the tires have been 35 series....45 is way to much but sure someone will chime in soon nuff

EDIT: Sure you know this just an FYI lower offsets on the front you will have more poke in the front than the rear...if possible dont go lower than a +35mm in the front if you dont want it to have more poke than the rear....

 

I wanted to get that meaty gangsta look. I have never gone completely crazy like this on any of my cars just a roll here or there to accommodate widers tires. I understand the 45 verus 35 profile but hey it was a thought. Lol. I get alot of thoughts like that and well some work and some ....... well I dont want to talk about it. lol

 

LOL...yea I have those ideas all the time bro....if I were to begin to tell you gessh!!! haha nah but just wanted to chime in based on what I have read on the forums and the pictures I have seen of the battle damage...but maybe jus maybe with a roll and flare you can get away with 40 since you are not slammed on coils....but def was jus trynna help u know!!!

 

Thanks man. I think I will go 225/35 and roll the fenders. That should be ok?

 

225/40R18's with 18x.9.5's +30 will be fine. Especially with S-Techs. Just roll the rears and flip the fender liner in the front to the inside of the lip.

The setup isn't really that crazy. You can run +15mm with the same width with minor work.

 

for reference,
18x9.5 +15 on trds 225/40/18 dunlops

(sofa king 4x4 status -_- ksports soon)

Thank you everyone. I guess I shouldn't worry nothing. Maybe a little roll and then I should be good.

Zsanz your right where I want to be but with a lower drop. Thanks man.

 

Zsanz's setup is definitely on-par. I've been running 19x9.5 +25 all around with 225/35R19's. Rears have been rolled and slightly pulled, fronts just have the flipped fender liner. I'm on KSports, too.
I've been wanting to go more aggressive and feel that I can comfortably do so.
So your setup should work well! Let us know how it all goes!

 

Glad that the guys who def know more than I do chimed in Zsanz Setup is def nice and it has that meatiness you want....225/40 is def way to go...like i said your not slammed on coils like severed is ( btw I love that setup and it would be my ideal way ot go if I had the funds-LOL) good luck and keep up posted

 

i have a downpayment coming in on my old motegis i used to run, once the full payment comes in, time to take the box to slam town. cannot. wait.

its winter now so i got a set of blizzacks on it not minding the 4x4 status, i dont even want to mount the rpf1s without it being slammed just looks incomplete.

 

Slamtoast? :D

 

so slammed

no crust.

 

Im running 20x8.5 +35 on 225/30/20 and with it about 2" lower then stock (drive height) I dont rub...not sure that helps you tho lol

 

Everyting helps but Im now going a different route lol. Lower and wider.
