To determine the correct offset that the wheel is now you would need to measure the back spacing. Hows do you know that the pad is 18mm thicker than the rear?

 

12+4 in the rear ftw

 

I measured the back spacing and found that my original calculation was correct. The wheel is 10.5+0

 

That's what I'm going to do

 

i agree. x12 +4 would be best. i would almost shoot for no "custom" fender work. a nice roll and pull would yield best results. this could either result extremely sexy or just mehh. the sizes and offsets are good, just depends on how you bring it all together. coilovers?

 

you know roll and pull is considered custom fender work right?


and yah we're gonna go with a pull for sure, how much depends on the amount of stretch on the tires and camber

its all what the OP is comfortable with


can't wait man, love to see these

 

"custom fender work" in my mind is more of cutting the metal and/or adding metal...rolling and pulling, such as shanes coupe, isnt so much considered "custom". anyone can do that in their own garage, its not something thats that special, but when done right the car will definitely stand out a lot more.

my only point is...a lot of people are trying to jump on the hellaflush/wfc/stance bandwagon, and even more are failing because either they aren't knowledgeable enough or they are too conservative with their car. if youre going to do it, do it. if youre going to half *** it and try to be "a little conservative" dont waste your time/money.

nothing against the OP or eurodre but i see more often then not enthusiasts with more expensive cars, Zs/Gs etc, wanting the appearance of hellaflush, but still want to be some what conservative. either one or the other. cant have both.

 

So what about my car where I fit a 10.5 +0 on a sedan? I did a roll, I did a pull...I needed more of a pull so I hammered the fender out and even the inner part of the quarter panel. I even hammered the bottom of the fender upward...that's not considered custom fenderwork?

I think the word here is "custom". It's going to differ from person to person what custom is. I can say I have custom upper A arms because I shaved off some of it and flipped the bracket around to get more negative camber, but someone pulling fenders can say the exact same thing. Basically depends on who you ask.

 

why cant one have both? not everyone who has a mildy aggressive setup or flush setup claims to be hellaflush. its just the direction that car modification has gone in the past few years. not everyone is trying to be the best or take the number one spot and go super aggressive. some just like to go with what theyre comfortable with and most times, yes, it is conservative. but i know i have always modded my vehicles to my own liking and its always going to be a matter of opinion. my setup is not super aggressive compared to some in the scene but im happy with it, it looks 10x better than some hella tucked setup, and im comfortable with it.

 

**didnt mean to open the arguments of opinions**

good luck OP

 

Duude you got problems j/k.... Setup looks good but for me its a little bid to wide in the fronT

 

who said im conservative? it's a little thing called relative.

compared to some guy my setup is extreme but compared to another guy my setup is conservative

i don't really understand your logic of custom fender work, technically it IS custom just what each setup needs, the fender work isn't all the same
