I really want 18x8.5 +35 But I can't find wheels that look like the XXR 962's with those size. shopping for wheels is a PITA

Subject: Re: Where do you guys buy wheels from? Tue Mar 10, 2009 9:57 pm

well atleast now you have your size. Now just search for wheels in that size.

Sorry Chris, but that's no where near close to being flush. My set up is 17x7.5 +30f and +27r and it's not even flush.

The pic Ivan posted is a very good example of what flush is.

Oh and Marcel if you decide to go with such aggressive offset and width, be prepared to do some modifications to fit the wheels.

pretty flush is not flush

Subject: Re: Where do you guys buy wheels from? Wed Mar 11, 2009 1:15 am

yeah i know but chris has a 35 offset and ivan said he has a 38 offset. doesnt that mean chris should be more flush? and ivan told sleepi to add a 5mm spacer in the fronts and a 10mm spacer in the rear for a set of rims that have a 35 offset. word around SL and stuff is that 38-35 is flush for a tc so wouldnt adding the spacers make him poke a little? i dont know that much about wheels so correct me if im wrong

depends on the width of the rim

All im saying is that you go further than where I am now then you are gonna have some serious problems. Im glad that i didnt have to roll/pull my fenders. But hey its your own car. Im flush enough.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ic. damn that nebster!!! lol

Running an aggressive fitment when it comes to wheels and tires is not for everyone.

You got to first ask yourself if you are willing to go through all the trouble to make it look legit.

Some of the things you'll have to worry about are:

Rolling/pulling fenders to clear the wheel.
Stretched tires.
Camber.
Stiffer suspension.

I'm sure there's a lot more that I'm missing but I'm sure you get the idea..

Hit the nail on the head bud...all those are a must. Im actually also gonna have to completely remove my fender liner to be on the safe side(yes...its my choice )

Subject: Re: Where do you guys buy wheels from? Wed Mar 11, 2009 2:07 am

I'm leaning towards the Enkei EV5 18x7.5 +38 and if it's too into the wheel well i can throw a 5mm spacer onto it? What do you guys think?
