Exactly what I was going to talk to you about later. 225 is barely a stretch and 215 is too small.

To tuck tire on a 215/35 your fender needs to be about 23" from the ground.

I had about an inch from bumper to ground when I first mounted my weds because I wanted to be dumped, hence why I had to bring the car up!

 

so i guess pretty much 19s suck with a 8.5 front lol

 

Well they don't suck, I pulled it off. I just don't have as much stretch as I would like on my fronts. 9" and wider is preferable for sure.

 

as low as you are Marcus is there any reason you didn't go with a 215/35 in the front ?? can someone find me a picture with a 215/35 on the front of a car so i can just see ... Marcus are you hella flush or a little poke in the front with your 8.5 225/35 ?

 

Because he wouldn't tuck on 215s

You should buy a another pair of your rears (like $400?) and then keep the fronts as spares.

 

and what rock front and rears 9.5 lol i already have a spare front .. i have a 19x8.5 +35 sitting in my garage .. i dont need anymore of my wheels laying around lmao

 

Yea run 9.5 square

Sell your fronts!

 

Of course I'm hella flush in the front, haha. Just kidding, I'd have a tiny bit more poke if my wheels were wider and I had more stretch, but its definitely flush up front. The stretch is more than what this pic shows, but its not a ton of stretch by any means.

 

im trying to find the best way to stance what i have now so i can use the money towards the volks i want and get my BBK .. lets make something happen lol what would be an ideal goal with 8.5 and 9.5 on my car and be around -2.5º to -3º ... only crappy part is my front offsets are 40's !!! i would run a 38mm spacer but i don't know who the hells wants to really do that lol and for the rears i can make something happen and get it to +10-
or +15 thats fine

 

If you don't want to run huge spacers then just do a setup similar to Tyco RC's current setup. He's running 235/245 on his 8.5 +20 /9.5 +20. I'd go to +15 on the fronts, pretty sure RC was running a spacer to bring his to +15.

 

i may just do something similar to your set up Marcus .. i want smaller tires then that that way i can always had bigger spacers if i change my mind later ... the biggest spacer id run is a 30mm i guess and the rear a 20mm so i would be at +10 front and +15 rear .. it that doable with a 225/35 and 235/35 ? cause im going to start ordering spacers this week :-)

 

Yeah that's doable on a 225/235 setup. You are going to have to do some fender work though for the amount of camber you want to run. What brand tires are you going with? You want to get something that runs true (vs ones that run big and won't stretch as much). Are you going to lower it more too?

 

well i was looking at the general tires and can get a good deal on them but im leaning towards falkens but heard they are not to good for stretching ... with a 235/35 on a 9.5, whats the least offset i can do without fender work and keeping it at or between 2.5º to 3º

 

Some sexy *** G's in here...!

 

You really need to get your fenders figured out to be honest.

2.5-3 and you'll be able to do +20 no problem.

I did +17 9.5 with a mild roll and 225/35 and still had room to move.

You just need to be careful since your fenders are cut they have an even sharper edge on them. Increasing the likeliness to cut through the sidewall in one slice. And in the stretched tire world, blow outs are the end of your car for a little while.
