Aggressive fitment anyone?!

[ucMP3]

215/50 is hella fat.

no joke! I have 215/45 and they are meaty... Can't wait to get the 225/35's mounted this week! Should even up the poke front & back nicely.

I understand it isn't the most aggresive on here, but I rub like crazy in the back...

How do you dial down de camber??

Sounds like you need to search google and these forums and just do some reading on the subject of wheel/suspension fitment...

Camber is the tilt (from top to bottom) of your wheel. 0 is flat, negative numbers pushes the top of the wheel in, and vice versa. So a little neg. camber would give you more clearance from your quarter panel.

Of course i need research,i don't know crap,but i am learning from you guys and that's one of great things about this forum.

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly, but reading material can greatly improve your learning curve. It's the internet, you can learn anything. Just by searching this forum, and reading through just this thread you would probably learn a lot. Then just ask questions to clarify things of course.

Well, i have learned a lot here,some terms are unknown to me but making progress (rockon)

So Iv been thinking about this for sometime now and I think it could work.
Wheels: Rota RB's
Specs: 16x8 with +20 in the front and +35 in the rear. Also going to use a 5-10mm spacer to get the rear flush.
Tires:175/50 R16.

Comments?

An 8" wide wheel with only 35mm offset is already going to stick way out. Spacers will make the poke worse, not fix it.

 

[Protege03ak46]

Actually thats 3mm in from were I sit now.

So the wheels you are showing here are 8" wide and 38mm offset?

 

[Protege03ak46]

No, there 7 and have a +19 offset.

 

[Rix6]

Well if that is the case and you have an inch to spare on the inside, it sounds like it ought to work. But a 175/50 tire on an 8" rim? That wheel is a full 2" wider than maximum width wheel the tire is designed for. Does that not ring any caution bells for you?

Sounds good, cept the tire. Way too thin. I'd run a 195/40 or 45 for more cushion. It should fit perfect.

Now that you say that it makes more sense. Hmmm. Idk.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

The offset of a 20mm is a touch more than the 17x9s I tried on, and the 215/40 that I'll be running is perfect to pull the tire back under. The 195/40 gives the same exact slop on the 8" that a 215 does on a 9"
