Default First post, offset question !

Hey all,
Looking to run a new wheel setup on my s2000 which is to be lowered on coilovers,
Something along the lines of
FRONT : 17x8.5 +32
REAR : 17x9.5 + 38
with camber, rolled arches and tabs done.
will this setup fit okay with slight strech on tires?

You will need an alignment and will be running at least 2 degrees of camber front and probably 2.5 or 3 degrees in the rear. You should then be able to fit a 225 front and 255 rear tire.

Thanks for the quick reply dude ! Whats the max offset you could run front and rear with say 3-4 degrees camber?

No idea. I wouldn't go past 3.5 degrees and that's pushing it. The setup you posted will look nice and aggressive while still having functional tires. If you want to go farther into the hellaflush world then I suggest you go to the hellflush thread in the gallery and ask there.

On a 9.5j wheel, even at -4 degrees of camber, I would imagine you could run a fairly high offset (around +60 to +70) without really running into inner clearance issues - of course tire size would have a large effect here, especially with the amount of camber.

I think he was talking about lower offsets. If you go higher you don't need camber. A +60 or 70 with a 9-10 inch wide wheel should clear with minimal additional camber.

The front is pushing it, plan on pulling the fenders to accommodate anything other then a 215 at -2.5 camber. The rear will accommodate a 255 at -3 (no pull)
