thanks for the info btw, and what size tire should I be looking for with the 9.5?

 

whoops. I'm tired from work. yea, an inch is 25mm. so you should be fine with a 25mm spacer.

I'd get a 225/40 for the 9.5, since you're on 18s, right?

 

yeah im on teeny weeny 18s. im assuming the 25mm would poke out just like 1mm?

sounds yummy.

 

if that. it would virtually just look flush being that close to poke/no poke. I'll just say it'll look much better than it currently is.

 

hmm. do you think it will look off in comparison to the rears?

 

any comnments

 

yea. for sure. what's the rear specs again? then I can tell you how much more you'd need for it to start looking proper.

 

Hey guys, its time for some new tires. I have an 04 sedan with coupe 19's and tein flex's. What sizes do you guys recommend?

 

18x13 -6

295/35/18

 

if you eventually want the same camber/will have the same natural camber in the future, you'll essentially want a 12 -8 up front, but idk if 12s fit up front. when you rebarrel, you can turn it into a 11.5 +1, then add a 15mm spacer to make it equivlant to a 12 -8, and run a 255 or larger run 245 on it. (fyi, if you rebarrelled to a 12, it would have an et of -5)

whatever you choose to do, you'll start looking much better after you rebarrel to a 10.5 +13 or 11.5 +1 up front, regardless of use of spacers.

there's just so many options when it comes to rebarrelling/spacers/addition of camber kits.

 

^^i don't understand anything about rebarrelling at all....i wish to be educated Drew

 

basic math, lol. for every .5" of lip you add, you add 6mm to the offset. but you gotta remember it becomes 12mm more aggressive overall. (half inch is ~12mm. 6mm is applied to the inside and outside lip, hence the 6mm offset adjustment). for example. 9.5 +17, a standard gt-s set up. if I rebarrel to 10", my offset is +12, but 10 +12 is 12mm more aggressive than 9.5 +17.

at least I hope it's like that. LOL. that's how L-Fab explained it to me when I wanted to rebarrel my gt-s to 20" steps. Blain, is what I said correct? make sure before I completely FUBAR somebodys wheels.

Type in 10.5 , +17 in the first two

And 11 , +11 (since you subtract 6mm right?)

The outcome is that it extends 12mm outward more.

If this calculator is correct.

 

Correct. As I said. I slightly reworded it. Hopefully it makes sense now. I'm tired.

Edit: In the case you want to find the same aggressiveness in a wider wheel, obviously do the opposite and add 6mm/.5" added to the offset. 9.5 +17 = 10 +24.

 

i'll see you in bed
