I'm trying to get 17x9 to 9.5 with 255s (265s) all around. I'm looking at some +10mm wider Seibon carbon fenders and some rear over fenders. I'm thinking I'll need a +40-45 offset. Am on the right track...


...two things I have never been a fan of when it comes to building cars... finding the right exhaust (tone) and trying to fit bigger wheels under her.

I havent set the entire car on the ground yet after doing my coilovers today. I'm at about a one finger gap right now and the springs still have to settle.

All you have done is your front fenders rolled? Nothing else front or rear?

Front and rears are rolled flat, not pulled at all. When the suspension compresses off the jackstands it clears fine, obviously I need an alignment still, but the "natural camber" after installing the coilovers seems like it will be A-ok.

After putting the whole car on the ground I may need to slightly adjust the front fender more. All four corners rub due to the simple fact it needs an alignment.

Its about a zero finger gap, I may raise it if the springs settle more.

I think because my stupid a$$ bolted one coilover up then went to the other side where the stock strut was still bolted in. So one side of the sway bar was "up" making the other have pressure on it. If that makes any sense lol.

How much did it run you to get the rears bored out to the size of the fronts?
