It looks good in the pic they are not as bad as the other picture....

By the way the drop will you recommend just the springs or the Full set up springs + shocks .... i like the teins so i may go for those.....springs give me 1.2 Front 0.9 Rear

I'm not going to recommend you a drop or any kind of suspension set up, because everyone drives differently and lives in different areas. This is all up to you and what you want and what fits your lifestyle, on top of what fits your budget.

Not to sound mean, but I don't want to try and sit here and listen to your life story so I can figure out what would be perfect for you. What I may recommend may not be within your budget or too low for your tastes. Look around, decide if you want springs or coils. Just remember that it is a huge price difference for both. You're talking $200 on springs vs $1000 on coils.

And the reason why Shane's car is all cambered out is because of his offset. If I remember right, he's running an 11.5 in the rear with a negative offset, so he has to run that much camber in order to clear. Once you start getting into the low single digit offsets and into the negatives, this is when you're going to start running negative camber and stretching your tires to clear your fenders and reduce the amount of rubbing. Just remember that Stance isn't just a fad that you can hop into with very little knowledge. Seasoned stance drivers will always tell you to do your research on what you need to do in order to run something like that, on top of telling you how many different types of suspension and wheel setups they have gone through to achieve the look that they wanted.

Can i know how much the wheel is going to stick out? i know it have a 5.25 inch lip and a +15 offset...If i measure from the outer part of the hub 5.25 and take away 15mm that will set my wheel right on place..

Correct me if i`m wrong!!!

The offset is from the center of the wheel so I believe to get a better idea you would devide the rim in 1/2 (5.5") then subtract 15mm (for + offset). That shoud give you where the outer rim lip will sit. So just shy of 5" from the hub.

Well you know what i think we are both wrong to do that i will need to have a 0 Offset.. the offset is measure fron the center of the wheel is right but when it come to + or - is the deal....Since i have a +15 offset i will need to add 5.5 to 15mm because this offset is add from the center of the wheel to the hub... to be more clear 15mm is the space they add from the center of the wheel to the hub so the wheel give clearance to the caliper....

center wheel---l15mml----hub

The 15mm +/- is how far the mounting surface of the wheel is offset from dead center on the wheel.

So -0- offset the mounting surface (the part of the wheel that touches the hub) is centered in the wheel between the inner and outer lips.

+15mm means that the mounting surface is moved 15mm outward towards the outer lip.. and the same goes for -15mm, it's moved 15mm inward towards the inner lip edge.

I have a sedan so my offsets are different, but it seems like a lot of people go with high teens to low 20's for a flush fit on a 10.5" rim.. on a coupe.

Why would you spend money on a set of wheels with a high offset only to buy spacers to space them out?

Why not just spend the money on a set of wheels with offsets that you want the first time?

I would go either 235/35/20 or 245/35/20.

The 245 will have more tire choices.
