Would 9.5 10.5 +15 all around be too weak (offset) for a coupe? Anyone with pics of this setup?

^ use this. put your current wheel specs on the top. new wheel specs on bottom. submit

look at poke to see how much further (in MM) the new one pokes from the old.

go to your car and measure your fender/wheel clearance to see how much more the wheel can poke out to be flush or hellaflush or wherever you want it to sit.

as a reference 12.5mm = half inch , 25mm = 1 inch , 50mm = 2 inches, and so on

You're going to want 225/40 up front and 255/35 out back to match the stretch, But yea stretching 40 profile tires is actually easier than 35s.

Probably not, but I'd recommend it if you carry passengers in the back seat.

No offense but why would you put $400 worth of springs onto $500 coilovers with the wrong valving for the spring rates. You'd be better off just selling the Basics and buying brand new BC/Megan with custom swifts.

Nope, might need to remove the hardware from the fender liner though.

BTW, 285 is oversized for a 9.5" wheel. You 255 or 265 is recommended however 275 IMO is the limit. Going to a 285 is going to loosen the sidewall rigidity since it bulges over the edge of the wheel.

ordering my lips from VR. seems anything bigger than 6.0" is custom order. Spoke directly with Triangle lips and directed me over to VR. 2-3 month wait though...

sigh... might as well.

I didn't- I saw them in the stock list last time we talked. They are wholesale prices- with markup of 50% if you don't buy 10 pieces though. That's why I ask how much at VR

I spoke via email
