Which one of you ran the UBER aggressive setup on the Volks SF Challenge?

For the Front, using Volks A Offsets: +15
For the Rear, using Volks B offsets: +11

I know a friend had ran the SFW (not SFC) in +19F, and +17R. He had a tiny tiny room on the front and a lil room on the rear.

Now, since we're talking really aggressive, anyone ran this setup before?

For those that don't have these, but have the original +28F,+23R setup, it's the same as expected about 13+ mm from the edge of the tires to the front fenders or to the rear quarter panel.


So if you can help me measure how much clearance you have from the edge of your tires to the edge of the front fenders & rear quater panel (as if you had the rears rolled).

Much helps appreciated.

 

if you got a my350z account, check out drumma022...

he's got a z though, so i don't know if that's what you're looking for. he's got 9.5 +11 and 10.5 +11.

 

thanks HXS. That's really aggressive. If I'm not mistaken, the Z has a lil more room/wider front fenders than the G.

I'd have to confirm with other folks to make sure

 

anyone?

 

no1 has the challenge?

 

that's way to aggressive. that dude is running less wide tires. they have the strechted look which doesn't look good at all imo. and you have no lip protection at all.

 

it could work depending on alignment settings and tire size/brand. 235/35/19 and 265/33/19 come to mind for a feasible setup, with at least -2-2.5 degrees of camber front and rear. It will require a roll, and possibly removing the front fenderwells, but you got to pay to play

 

thanks you two. I'd also need to find out if the +15/+11 setup will clear my BBK.

I may have to go back to the original default setup after all

 

bump...anyone has these?

 

the +19F and +17R is already flushed with the fender.. you'll have to stretch tires to get it to fit under with the +15F and +11R setup and i cant see the @nd setup clearing BBK but i definitely can be wrong

 

well, the thing is that the SFC isn't being offered in the +19,+17 Combo.

About Clearning the BBK, I'm very skeptical. I was told that the original +28/+23 setup will clear. Now, only if they keep the same pattern and design, and only move the wheel outward by the difference of the offset, then I'd be okay. I'd be in trouble IF they change the spoke design to compensate for the offset.

I know that for 1 piece wheels/no lips, the offset & spoke design & wheel clearance all affect each others.

But for 2 piece & 3 pieces, some company would just keep the same face & spoke design and only move the wheel dishes in/out for the changes in offset.

So that'd make the whole thing a lot harder to know.

 

which bbk do you have, and do you have a front and rear setup? For the SF challenge, they only come in 3 faces, a high, mid, and low which they call A,B, and C. the A-face has the most most clearance for a BBK, and the 9.5 +15 and +28 have the same face and thus the same BBK clearance. The differences are in the barrels as you guessed, like most multipiece wheels. So the +15 has a larger lip, but same BBK clearance. If lip size isn't a concern, and you just want your wheels flushed, you can get the 9.5 +28 and get a 10-15mm spacer for more caliper clearance, but if the +28 clears, then so will the +15. For the rears, they usually use a B face, which the 10.5+23 is, the 10.5+11 you chose is also a B face so it has the same clearance, but more lip compared to the +23 offset. You could go with an A-face for the rear with a 10.5+15, but it will give you the same amount of lip as the 10.5+23, but with more clearance for a BBK. So it depends if you are trying to maximize wheel lip or if you just want the wheels flush. I think your setup should work with a BBK though as long as the calipers are comparable to the OEM brembos

 

Thanks bro. I have the AP Racing BBK

You hit the nail dead on. As I was last told, the normal setup (+28A Front and +23B rear) will clear my BBK.

But I'm looking for larger lips, that's why I'm moving to the next size, which is the +15A Front and +11B Rear, hoping that the same face/spoke design will still clear the BBK while giving the bigger lip. It's 1 of 2 things that I need to make sure off.

The second thing is the fitments issue. I hope that I can run 245-35 and 275-35 tires on there without any rubbing, especially the rear. I know that I'd have to roll the fender (or rather quater panels linings) for the rears, but don't know how much camber I have to set it to. Right now, I'm sitting at -2.2 Rear. The front, I think I should be okay with +15 with -1.5 Camber setting. It's the rear that I worry about the most. I wouldn't want to go anymore negative than -2.5.

 

I have Volk GTS 19x9.5 +17& 19x10.5 +18 w/ toyo tires 245/35 & 275/35

Shaving of the Fenders was a must and i dont know how much different the SF Challenge would be but i could see being able to put anymore of an aggressive offset then that on there. I still havent lowered my car because i dont think im going to be able to pull the camber out to something that doesnt destroy tires every 3 months without rubbing badly. As far as BBK goes we have test fitted an AP kit on my car and it fits.

 

Thanks bro.

So you had to roll your rear fender on that setup, right? How much did you roll it?
