Just a little teaser for next week..

[madvillian]

18x9 +30 offset rotas are ordered, will be here next week, wrapped in some 255 toyo's. This will take some work to fit, but history will be made. Stay tuned!

LOL yeah history will be made alright.

Are you really really sure you think you can get those to fit? I've done all kinds of measuring and calculations and the only way I figured I could get a set of 18x9s to fit with a decent size tire (i.e. not stupid stretched but an actual functional tire in a 235/40 or 245/40 size) was to go with a 38-35 offset, 2.3 degrees neg camber in the front, 1.8 in the rear, and no lower then a .2" ride hidth.

But if you pull it off with out compromising much suspension geometry or integrity I'll be very interested. I love the Subies, especially the 08 STIs, in the 18x9 sizes. I'd love to give my MS3 the look and performance from that size.

Oh hey, it's Dan's car.

You can't fit that offset. Not for the rear anyways. Oh, yeah you do need camber. lol

 

[CnoTataymo]

Good luck. I was planning to test fit some 18x9 Rota's at Wheeldudes since Zoeb said I could but I usually work during the weekdays and they're closed on weekends. I can't wait to see how it'll look. I believe 255 tires would be too wide unless they are 35 series tires. And you would need a good amount of camber in the rear.

 

[madvillian]

thanks guys, I never said it was going to be easy, but I got a hell of a deal for taking the risk and I have to get it to work. im running coilovers, so i've got a shitload of camber, and ride height is fully adjustable if i need to raise it up a bit. and yeah, the tires are 255/35

 

[tigermack]

Running coilovers do not mean you get shitload of camber. lol

 

[madvillian]

i realize that... I'am running a lot of camber.

 

[PCspeed3]

Damn advan RS wanna bee's, those will look fresh if they fit. good luck!

 

[BlueWolfCry]

damn that will be damn sexy! gl!

 

[strytnyne]

your a mad man!

 

[tigermack]

How much camber are you running?

 

[Yoo Shin]

What wheels are those that you currently have and what size are those? Those are hot!

 

[madvillian]

18x7.5 they will be for sale whenever the new wheels come! for a very very good price.

 

[justanothermp5]

dam dude, idk if your goin to get those to fit with 255's.....

if u do that would be sick s*** tho, gl

 

[AAMguy]

future ms3 aggressive wheel fitment thread?

mmmyessssss

nice choice man!

 

[madvillian]

all i can say is that when the STI's came out a few years ago, everyone said that there was no way in hell an 18x9 would fit, and look at them now. someones just gotta DO it and everyone else will follow! haha this time, im going to be the pioneer.

 

[Renzokuken]

Pray for the best but expect the worst. Good luck bro.

 

[IDRVSLO]

Renzokuken I feel like I am following you around here. BTW I am a huge doubter....it will not fit, period. I am running a 17x8.5 with a 40 offset and I needed to roll the s*** out of my fenders....I am running 235s. I hope there is a good return policy on those wheels.....gooooooooood luck!

 

[daonly1around]

yeah, good luck

 

[tigermack]

It will stick out, I don't doubt that it doesn't fit. It will fit fine without hitting anything inside. The problem is just the fender... really.
