Aggressive fitment anyone?!

[Protege03ak46]

funkalicious, what have you done to your rear fender?

It's called a radiused quarter panel. Gives you more tire/wheel clearence

 

[justanothermp5]

uhhh....no, thats not a radiused fender, its a pulled fender. There is a difference. You do them both to fit wheels but a pull fits a wider wheel, and a radius fits a bigger diameter wheel.

lol, I like it. Or like the fact that you managed 9" wide wheels under there... just look odd, had me curious

Its funny that you say 9's because i plan on fitting 11's XD. I'm damn serious and anxious about it. =)

when putting hte rx8 rims on a p5 which are the spacers need it? just for the back? what specs?

 

[justanothermp5]

nope, they should bolt up fine. You may need spacers to clear whatever size tires you plan on running though

+1 i run 215/35 on my speed6 rims and used a 5mm spacer just to move the tire away from the spring

 

[RicoP5]

tires are 235/40 i beleive on the speed rims i have on right now

Planning out my rebuild for the Volks. I am getting them custom rebarreled into 3 piece wheels. I want to go wider and fill out the fenders perfectly without excessive camber or the AAC link kit. I want to keep the car at the same height. Currently I am at 17x8 +25/+30 with 205/40's.

I would like to go with 17x8.5s and want to see what you guys think about offsets and tire sizes:

Offsets
+30 seems about perfect for the front, as it would put the outside of the wheel at the same place as present
+40 for the rear would bring it in 5mm from current, which would stop me from hitting rim on fender on big bumps lol. Will this clear on the inside?

Or I could put them square at +35 for the same lip size all around and need to run a little more camber in the rear for clearance. Thoughts?

Tires
I want to run a bit wider just because I am going turbo. Thinking 215/40, but for rear clearance I was also thinking 225/35 front, 205/40 rear. Thoughts?
