Nice rims! The back offsets look perfect, but the front looks like it sticks out a bit outside the fender. Are there other close offsets available that pull it in slightly, or are they pretty big jumps?

If you're using a 9.5" front, then your only options are +19 or +29 (the +29 is techincally a "rear" wheel used on a 8.5" F / 9.5" R setup)

If youre using a 10.5" rear, then your only options are +29 or +17.

That's why I suggested a 5mm spacer on the rear. It's the setup I'm using and I think it's perfect!

you can use +32 also, you just won't get much lip...
(btw, +32 offset clears stock brembos)

How long did you have to wait to get the wheels?

Please post some more pictures after you drop it...
The wheels and tires took some 2-1/2 months to get to my door. I could have had them earlier, but we ran into some tires issues . . . Which Chris at F1 was quick to resolve. Now that I have this set-up, I am re-thinking on what to use for the drop. I may wait until the new SPC front camber set-up is available.

Amit, I'll be speaking to you at Hearst Castle about this.

Yes, the fronts do stick out a bit. I didn't want to go any more agressive on the front offset nor did I want the tires tucked in. Based on the available offsets, as Amit has noted, I believe the thicker sidewalls of the KDW2's add to this, as well.

Thanks, Giri . . . Hey, are you still planning on going on the Hearst Castle run?

I'll see the rest of you folks on the Hearst Castle run.

Do you think the +29 fronts would stick too far inside the wheel well for your tastes? 1 cm doesn't seem like that much, but maybe it is when you're right on that fine line of inside or outside the well.

Now I wonder how pissed off the rear active steering will get with a drop and wider wheels...

I recently lowered the car with the Z Tein H-Techs. I am contemplating going with shorter springs and Dpec 9's or Stance coilovers. Installed the SPC rear camber/toe set-up and ordered the new SPC front camber set-up, last week.

Hey Andy, where did you get the SPC rear camber/toe set-up from and how do you like it?? I'm definitely gonna have to get the front and rear camber set-up once my wheels go on. The Tanabe DF210's are a much more aggressive lower than my old Tein S Techs.
