Does it matter that Jeff ran a 225/30 on that set up? Just noting it.

no, toe is good. I can't get my camber better than -2.0 with a camber kit.

Uh oh. What's your fender height in the rear? When I dropped mine to 24 1/4", my ichibas maxed out at -2.5*. I had to upgrade to SPL to get the rest of the way. You figure the lowest you can go and be good with the ichiba rears is ~ 24 3/4" even, since you're going to about -1.8 with your offsets. Give or take 1/4" for difference in manufacturing the arms. Get the SPC rears as well at least.

Edit: well, you're going with 20s, no? I wouldn't know the equivalant height for those. I'd still grab SPC/SPL to be safe first time around with your alignment.

Hmm, I can't recall what set up he was on for those photos. He only switched to the 30 series at the end of the season.

I sent him a text to confirm.

SELL IT. Ichiba arms are terrible.

You're actually going to be a little aggressive here, you'll definitely need rolled fenders out back and pull all the fender liner hardware out of the front.

Depending how low you go you're either going to need some camber a mild stretch of the tires.

So I've been looking into the xxrs and tsws for my 05 sedan, and I definitely want 18s or 19s, not sure what I should rock for width and offsets though. Most guys on here are okay with rolling fenders, but what can I run w/o a roll, on a z spring/strut setup?

Advice Needed

Here's the drop because honestly, I don't know how low I am:


Setup is Megan Coils and Megan rear arms. I do not have arms in the front, however the front area chassis is slotted up front so the camber can be adjusted from the bottom of the wheel vs. the top. Seems like by bringing the camber in from the lower side threw my offsets off by a few mm. For example, my +5 in the front sits like a +8-10mm.
Camber is set close to spec. Rear is around -1.8~-1.9.
My rears fenders are rolled flat. Front fenders aren't rolled, but the thicker tires up front brought my fenders out just a wee bit.
Wheels are 20x9.5/10.5 +5 all around with Yoko S Drives. I know the Yoko's have a little thicker side wall.

New setup:
20x9.5 -12 and 20x11.5 +1
Tires are gonna have a little better stretch, so I'll either run Toyo's or Falkens. 225/35 and 255/35 or 265/30. What do you guys think as far as camber settings and would I need a fender pull on front or back or both?

Hey fellas. I have a 1st gen coupe dropped on nismo 350 suspension (guesstimate abt a 1 in drop?) and want to get some wider wheels, like 19x9.5f 19x10.5r, or possibly 19x9.5 all around.
At what offset will it possible to fit these sizes without a roll, neg camber, or stretch? If it does fit will it be pretty sunken in like my oem 19s?

In the high teens to the low 20's offsets you will be good front and rear with any modifications at all

What size tires should I run on 20x8.5 F and 20x9.5 R wheels? I Want them to be low profile but I also don't want to be getting new tires all the time.
