BC Forged RS43 (Brushed Clear)
18x9 +35 front and 18x10.5 +45
I want to drop the car next, like 1 inch...conservative, just as the wheels are. I am worried about the wheel/tire rubbing the fender. Oddly I thought a 275 would be right in the middle for a 10.5 tire...but it is definitely stretched a little. And there is some poke, which I was trying to prevent with a higher offset. Any advice...I feel like the stock height on my "sport" is borderline AWD height.
I like how your ride looks with those wheels! Thanks for the pics.
Thank you sir. There have been a few changes since your quote of one of my newb posts. Okay, I'm still a newb...but I've learned a few things by hanging out here the past 10 weeks. This forum is a wealth of information!
Wheels: Enkei TY-5 18x9.5 +35
Weight: 20.7lbs
Tires: Sumitomo 245-45-18
Suspension: Swift springs, SPC rear camber arms, no spacers(thinking about 15mm for rear)
Enkei NT03+M
18x9.5 +27
265/40R18
Wheel weight: 19.9lbs
Big Brake clearance: Yes (with a 2.5mm spacer in the front)
If Spacers are being used: Yes (2.5mm in front to provide sufficient clearance for brakes)
Front fenders are just flat rolled, and pushed out about 3-5mm. Alignment is still within spec and have about a finger's worth of space when tucked.
Also, my driveway isn't exactly even, so that accounts for the fender gap. Otherwise, it sits like my other pictures above.
Was your front tires poking out a lot before you rolled the fenders? I have the same size of your rims except my offset is +23. I was thinking to get 255/40/18s but i don't know if that would be safe since it's over the 3% margin of oem. I'm trying to avoid rolling the fenders.
