whats the point of going 2mm wider doesnt justify the cost haha when you do re-lip something like -2 front and -5 rear would be more worth the cost and give you a nice setup

also give you lips that extend alot further past the face

I would've done at least a 1/2" all around during the split. They still look good though!

That is true.. Lol I want to go at least 5more mm. Still new to the stretch tire stance scene. Only thing I've "tried" stancing out are my stock 19s with oem tire spec.

Maybe I should go with a little less stretch on these wheels :/ currently running 225/35 on 9.5" and 245/35 on 11" prob should use 255 if there is such a thing

Depends on how low on wide wheels you want to be that's the reason to stretch, you could easily be really low and only about 1.5 deg camber front and around 2 camber in the rear because those specs are not that aggressive

Could even throw a 15mm spacer up front and a 5 in the rear but camber will need to increase if u want to sit like me and the guys here

I think I am pretty low but I wanna lower it another quarter to a half inch bc these are 20s. I am already running those camber specs atm (-1.5f and -2.6r) and it sits flush in front but could be better with a 5-10mm spacer with the tires atm. Could throw a 15-20mm spacer in the rear with stretch it has.

Do you guys think that would work out better or should I just run a 255 tire size and lower it some more to get it perfectly flush with the tire and fender? Or is both methods good?
