I rolled mine.

I have a friend who works for discount tire direct so they just let me borrow their roller. It is a device that attaches to your hub. You use a heat gun to warm the paint and then just roll this little device on the inside of your fender increasing the angle and pressure as you go. It takes a couple hours when you factor in taking off your wheels and stuff but it is not hard.

 

That's WAYYYY too much for an 8.5" rim. 35-40 would have an agressive fitment without rubbing.

 

not to hijack but i am wondering on a 8.0 by a + 40 on the front and a 9.0 by a + 38 on the rear?

with 275/35/18 and 245/40/18

or should i go with

265/40/18 and 235/45/18

am I ok can i lower ?

 

How often are you just driving on a straight road???

 

Why not just get the correct offsets???

I don't understand why people insist on buying wheels with the WRONG fitment.

 

8/+40 front and 9/+38 rear will be fine, dropped or not.

 

+1. I lost count how many times people came back to me and said "I should have listened to you"

 

Yeah that should be fine.

 

chico you seen the Sevas on that blue G sedan and they fit and those were
20x10 w/ a +40 offset

 

A lot of times the wheel someone wants is not available in an offset that will fit our car so we have to be very aggressive and try to make it work.

People need to understand that in some cases to get what you want you may need to be willing to make some modifications or find another wheel.

My wheel manufacturer said there was no way a 10" +43 rear wheel would fit on a G35 sedan without rubbing, even if the fenders were rolled. I was able to prove them wrong and I have zero rubbing.

 

yeah I saw them but like I mentioned to you before...if you're set on those wheels, you've got to be prepared to roll your fenders and dial negative camber to clear them. The statement I hear all the time "it won't rub at stock height" is not really valid IMO. The car's suspension is simply not flexing enough to bring it down far enough to the tires...but if it did...it would not be pretty. More agressive offsets are likely to clear the fenders better on lowered cars, since they get more negative camber.

you're still waiting for these wheels? it's been a long time, hasn't it?

 

EXACTLY. the wheels i'm interested in only goes up to +40.

 

Then they're not made for your car. Why not get 8.5 all the way around?

 

chico, im stil fu*ken waiting but i guess they werent available anywhere else as well, they're barely getting made i called sevas and they said next week wednesday they're getting shipped out to stores so im assuming in about a week and ahalf ill have them

 

Cru has a point.

Either get the ones for your car or make the necessary adjustments to make them fit.
