me too, ill join into the question time. =)

im running 17x8.5 +40 in the rears, plan to lower the car on mofo flex, will a 245 tyre fit?. do i need to roll and run camber?

thanks,

euge!

 

rolling the fenders is usually nesessary when going lower than 48 offsets and I usually recommend running some camber. the more camber the wider the tire you can run. just make sure that you align the car so that the toe is back to OE specs so tires dont get eaten up.

 

On a side note, is there any write up or info for relocating the bumper tab?

 

First off, you would be wise to do both- roll your fender and relocate the tab. Its easy. First, unscrew the screw and save it for use a bit later. Next dremmel or cut out the tab. I actually went ahead and cut out more of the material so that I would have even more room for wheel and tire. This is a good idea, because the more room you have, the better. And you would probably be surprised at how little can make such a big deal.
Next, you drill a small hole in a similar location about five inches towards the rear of the car. Just draw a line with your mind of the wheel/tire travel, and make sure the new location is out of the way. After drilling a small hole, go ahead and use you old screw in the new location. Again, I recommend rolling the fender, relocating the tab and screw, and maybe even cutting some of the material out of there too.
I would recommend this before anything else as it is easy and cheaply done.

 

Cool, thanks sinji! Fenders are already rolled so I think this should be a breeze!

 

Good info here.

OK - what about 255s on 17x9 +45 in the front? Has anyone done this on stock fenders? What does it take to make it work?

 

its been done but it's going to be a lot of work. You'll have to fully flare the fenders to the point where a repaint is going to be necessary and i believe max. camber in order for it to fit

 

I'm running 265 +55 on the rear with zero fender modification, it rubs a bit on the plastic inner lining when going over big bumps, however I'm not sure what my camber degree is. Obviously the offset isn't aggressive but this should help with ideas.

 

lookin proper!

 

AP2 V1 has a +65mm offset and with sit well with a 255 rear....... right?! I have a set sitting in the garage waiting to go on, on Wednesday.
