Ok guys I'm looking to build a set a wheels by this summer. Need some advice tho. To start off, would it be better to go with 9.5/10.5 or 10/11 to get a bigger lip? Which do you guys recommend. Really don't want to go any bigger than that. Thanks in advance.

I may also add that I'm not planning on running crazy camber. Looking for a flush stance with maybe -3.5 camber at the most.

10 and 11 just so your wheels don't look like pizza cutters.

That's nice! So would you recommend 10.5? Or would that be pushing it on 19s? Appreciate the help man. Willing to send you a little Paypal if you help me out lol.

dont worry about it lol.

10.5 if you can, you can get away with 10.5 +0 or slight negative offset and probably have camber where you want.

Hmm. Think I may do 10 just because I'm iffy about that "you can get away with". So 11 rear or 11.5? I'm only on rolled fenders btw. Really don't want to pull.

10.5 +0 should give you no problems.

Alright 10.5 +0 fronts. I remember that car! I loved the stance. Those were 18s tho right? Not sure if the same
Specs would apply to 19s? Any idea for the rears?

Toretto how much camber did you have in the rear? I'm liking that look.

same for 19s. all that would really matter is your tire size.

as for the rears, i'm not too sure since I'm on widebody. how much camber do you want in the rear?
