im in china right now but i'll be back this sat
i'll try to take some pics for u this sunday

my front has 0 finger gap and the negative camber tucked it in a bit maybe about half an inch or so but before the drop it lined up perfect with the fender
i'm gonna get a 10mm spacer to push it back out either that or a camber kit

my rear isnt dropped that low and has 1 finger gap so its sticking out the fender about half in inch

if i had to do it over i would go low 10s on offsets
but for that you would prob have to switch over to the 30 series tires and drive slower on speed humps

hows your rubbing in the front? im thinking about gettting the same specs as urs but a larger lip..

btw ur rear is cut? explain? did you cut ur fenderliner to ****s? and roll the fender? would you suggest a higher offset if you don't wanna do fender modification? or would you have to go down a half inch?

what are your plans for the car? are you gonna end up getting a BBK later on? are you going to get a camber kit to correct your negative camber? if not, how much negative camber are you willing to run?

Im not planning for a BBK anytime soon and I'll be dropping the car on Z s-techs. Oh and I'll be getting a camber kit also.

I'll most likely get the front ones also. As far as the camber, I'm not too knowledgeable in that area so I'll just have it

either close to spec or so that my tires wont be eaten alarmingly quick. I'm also willing to roll my fenders if necessary (most likely).

if you want aggressive offsets like you stated then rolling your fenders is a must.

If you dont mind the look of a semi-stretched tire then i'd go with a 245/275 setup with 19x9.5 +19 A-disk and 19x10.5 +17 O-disk. That'll give you a 3.4" front lip and 4.4" rear lip.

I've always heard of a 'streched' tire but never really noticed what it looks like. Is it just that the tire appears to be lower profile?

If it is then I'd assume that's a good thing IMO. About the offsets, I think I might go with the rear one you recommended,

but the front one might be a bit much. Maybe a 2.5 lip to make the staggered appearance more noticeable. Any recommendations?

i'd just get with one of the sponsor's they can get you the perfect setup if you give them all the specs you desire.

Looking at the spec sheet for the wheels, it looks like your best bet for a 2.5" lip would be to get a 9.5 +28 R-disk (big caliper)(even though you wont need bbk fitment, it'll get you the lip size you desire and you can use the wheels if you end up getting a bbk down the line) and depending on how much camber adjustment you can get out of the front camber kit you might need a 10mm spacer to make it sit flush like the rear.

^thanks for the info, I'll definitely contact the sponsors soon after the new year when they did all their partying.

But you know what, knowing me, I might go with the +19 in the end.

I appreciate your help (Grant?).
