My rear fender height is 25.25" I think its just the angle of the picture that makes it look like that.

 

That's def too high for that aggressive of an offset. I am at 24.5" with about .25 inches left to go on my coils if i remove a ring. Are you sure that is the lowest you can go? Are you running rear aftermarket camber arms? -4.5 is about the most the stock arms will adjust to

 

Im at the lowest setting on my true stance coilovers(shock body twisted all the way down). Only thing I can think of was the custom spring rate that I ordered. And Im using SPC rear arms.

 

Ok, I can use some assistance here..


I've been searching online for quite some time trying to figure out how to understand offsets... I'm completely retarded to this topic.

Can someone break it down to stupid levels?

My goal:

I am trying to clear the G37 BBK that I have installed in my 03 Sedan but I am trying to do this WITHOUT spacers. Also I'd like to be able to not rub at all in any wheel well.

The car is currently sitting on this setup:

Front:
Tein H-Techs with Tokico Blue's
Akebono (G37) BBK (14inch Rotor)
15mm HubCentric Spacer
Axis Milano Plus 20.
Tire size: 225-35-20

Rear:

OEM SPRINGS with Tokico Blue's
Akebono (G37) BBK
Axis Milano Plus 20.
275-30-20

Rears have no spacers and no clearance issues.

The rear fender is rolled.

I do not want wacky cambers I want the car to sit FLUSH and not rub.

Any advice? (HELLLLPPP)

 

What are you asking? Offset has nothing to do with brake clearance. Are you looking to get new wheels that will clear your brakes so you don't have to run spacers?

Offset however is simple. It literally is what it is.

The DEAD CENTER of the wheel is 0 offset. Meaning the mounting surface is at the exact middle of the wheel. If the mounting surface is to the inside of the wheel (closer to strut per say) that is a lower offset. If the the mounting surface is closer to the outside (further from the strut) that is a higher offset.

Offset ONLY becomes negative when the mounting surface crosses the centerline of the wheel going backward (closer to the strut)

 

Messaged JBL and he got helper springs for his true setup to go lower in the rear. I'll be hitting up Stance to order my helper spring to get below 25" for the rear, that should fix my rear height issue that I have been having

 

Will get some full shots this weekend..waiting for the paint shop to finish my front lip

 

1st place Hellaflush at The Infamous today! So exciting, I'm humbled to have received this award with all of the fitted cars at this show from Canibeat & Fatlace/Hellaflush.

Thanks to Randy @ RRYDEs and Dave @ RareJDM for helping me get my car ready for the event this week. Also huge thanks to Grant for taking the time and leveraging his expertise to dial-in this wheel/suspension setup and Shane for the fender work!

 

Candle...

What wheels are those? Size? Offset.. running any spacers?

 

SSR SP1, 19x9.5 +5 19x10.5 +18, No.

225/35 and 245/35 Yokos too, if you care to know that info.

 

^Thanks Blain, you are correct.

Installing splitter at the show

 

^ dang ever realized ur rotors was so big, no homo...

 

^They are 14" and look larger because the face of my wheel is only 18", 19" step lipped wheels. Love how they fill the wheel face now vs the Nismos.

 

dammit marcus, how'd you do that? i clicked on your homepage link and it turned into "Marcus Cookes Photography" hahaha. i though my MAC was bugging! thats sick. but all i wanted to do is look at pics of your G... its like asking for a donut and getting a 7 layer cake.

 

Buckled my front passenger side fender yesterday. Very minor, anybody know of a quick fix for it? Maybe taking a circular object and applying pressure to pop it back out???
