[manny3]

very nice!!

 

[charlessss]

+1.

What are the specs of the first MS3 set up? Im a fan of 17s with beefy tires as well.

 

[tigermack]

17x9 +40. 255/40.

 

[GhostMercury]

What needed to be done so they didn't rub. and I'm assuming you're using coilovers, so I have to ask do you have them on the hardest setting so that the tire doesn't tuck into the wheel well, or is this streetable. And last question, are you running a tire that has a super stiff side wall or does it not have as much squish as I would imagine, thus not effecting the handling.

 

[Chumpsteak]

18X8.5 +48mm Rota G-force. 235-40-18.

 

[spdjnke]

Lookin good! you on coils or springs?

18X8.5 +48mm Rota G-force. 235-40-18.

 

[Domino81]

I think those are H&R's.

 

[Chumpsteak]

Yep, they're H&R with stock stuts/shocks. The stockers are still working, but are definately worn. Will replace with Koni sports soon I think.

 

[spdjnke]

In the Pic are those actually 40 series or 45 series tires? they seem way to close to be 40's cuz mine don't sit that close, unless they are mounted 215/45's. just curious

 

[Chumpsteak]

235/40/18. They look really close to the fender because of the picture angle I think. I'm standing on an island in a parking lot so the car is slightly below me. Anyway, I think the drop is perfect and I don't expect to rub unless I do rear camber arms.

 

[Domino81]

You don't expect to rub? Have you not driven it yet? Why would camber arms make you rub? Is the camber affected that much just by lowering the car?

 

[spdjnke]

with that offset that he has on the Rota's chances are he will rub in the rear when it's straight up and down with adjustable camber links...right now cambered it should work perfectly without rolling the rear fenders.

Would your knees hurt if you squad down and walk like that all day? of course it changes that much

will i need spacers to run 18x8.5 et 38 on 235/40s?? i am on bc coils and looking for new wheels

 

[not yellow]

you won't need spacers, you'll either need smaller tires or some fender work.

 

[Jdm_Mica]

rear fenders rolled. i used to have 17x9 rpf1s on 235/40s but just wanted to confirm

what offset?

I tried 6mm spacers on my 18x8.5 +45 with 225/45 and rolled rears and got plenty of rubs...

 

[2010blackms3]

What rims are these and what are your numbers?

 

[Jdm_Mica]

I had +45 on the 17x9s and I am getting 18x8.5 in either +38 or +45
