Truths

 

I did a couple of search on offset and came to this thread, like psychobusa I am about to order some work vsxx, except I want 19. I like silencer setup so I looked up the work offset chart and to make my 19 match his 20 in terms of offset I am going to go with
19x9.5 +2 Rdisk 19x10.5 +7 Adisk. Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but this should give me around 3.3 inch lip in front and 4.2 inch lip in the rear.

Also I plan on getting beefier tires 255F and 285R, lowering 2 inch from stock and fender work. My question is does anyone know how much camber do I need in order to avoid rubbing at all. Any other advice on this setup would be appreciated. I plan on ordering my wheels in a couple of days so I want to get it right the first time. Thanks

 

^ You're correct on the lip sizes. Do you have, or are planning to get a BBK? If not, I'd consider getting +4 O disk all around lol. Though you'd have to call up Work and ask if O disk will clear factory brakes, I'm pretty sure they do.

I'm afraid I'm not that knowledgeable about camber degrees, so I can't help much on that. But with those size tires and drop, you'll definitely need to run negative camber.

 

Thanks yes I plan on getting some BBK for christmas. How much did you drop your car?

 

Oh, yeah then stay with the R/A disk. I've adjusted my height quite a few times (going lower and lower), so I can't remember my exact drop anymore lol. But I should be close to 3" now.

 

I just found another thread specifically about offset and cambe questons, created by Shane. I hear he knows his stuff, I will ask there about the camber. Thanks for the help Silencer

 

No problem. Shane definitely knows his stuff, he helped me with my wheel specs when I was ordering them haha.

 

When i put in my order for Front +17 rdisk, Rear +13 odisk, Work called back and said if i was going to be getting bbk in the future that i should get +11 tdisk for the front. same lip size as the +17 r, but would less likely have any clearance issues.

 

My r-disk front clears my alliance bbk by like 1mm, so they should clear brembos no problem. But it's up to you, the disk type determines how flat the wheel face is. O disk being the flattest, and now t disk being the most "curved". At least with the t disk, you'll be a little more flush.

 

You will definitely rub with Fab's offsets and these tire choices. If you wanna run the same offsets as Fab, you should run his tire sizes as well.

 

I figure that, but do you think even if I get fender work I will still rub?

 

Nope, you will need more then just a fender roll. The issue is that the tire is too wide and you will need to do a mild stretch in order to clear.

225/35 and 255/35 and you will be fine. Or you could do a 245/35 in the rear.

If you want a wider tire, you should run a different offset. Probably the same offsets as the OP when he ordered his.

 

Thanks, I guess I will have to get different offset, because I don't like the stretch look. I know is popular, but is not my cup of tea, specially since is my daily driver. What do you think of 245/275 instead of 255/285?

 

Still won't be enough with his offsets. I would suggest offsets in the mid-teens for you. Again, similar to what the OP ordered.
