Got these on over the weekend. I love the overall look of them and I love the 2 tone of the machined face versus the chrome lip on these. They are staggered 9/10 and 20 inches and my next mod will be to drop it.

Here's my issue, I honestly don't know anything about dropping cars or fitment or anything like that. I couldn't even tell you offset of these wheels if you asked me. Yes, I'm sad whatever...I'm learning though . But what I do know is these wheels stick out what feels like a lot to me. Just in the back. There are only 10 inches wide, but I think the offset is causing them to poke. They come out at least a third of an inch to a half inch or more past the fender wells. I just want to know if this will cause problems later on down the line when I go to drop it (in a week) and if I will have to flare my fenders to make them fit better. I really don't want to do that, but with the metal looking like its going to come down on these tires it seems a bit unsafe.

 

No, it'll be just fine. It's perfectly safe. When you lower the suspension the wheels will naturally tuck inward slightly at the top and you will have more negative camber. The only negative effect that you'll have is that because these wheels are wider and protrude more than stock, you may tend to get more rock chips along your rocker panels than before.

 

Thanks for the info and bare with me cuz like i said im still learning, but I also read that I'm suppose to get the camber kit to make sure that wheels stand straight after I lower it. Does that mean I should skip that so I can get more clearance at the top? Here's a better pick of the poking out. Maybe not quite a half inch, but still enough to get chopped by the fender wall

 

That is fine. Whether or not you need a camber kit depends on what the camber setting is like after you drop it. No one can tell you definitively if you will or won't, lowering is not an exact science and every case is slightly different due to a variety of factors.

To me that looks like it will tuck in enough once it's lowered. Adjusting the camber to spec will not make them stand straight up, a little negative camber is optimal. almost - 2 degrees in the rear.

When you lower it, you'll see what I'm talking about. Trust me. I've lowered a lot of G's.

 

K thanks.

 

BB speaks the truth
You may be able to see how they'll tuck if you park your car on an angled drive w/ the front corner compressed, then do the same for the back. It's pretty amazing how they just almost magically disappear under the fender lip. Your car is really high at the stock height so they'll really tuck nicely. your offsets are probably pretty conservative like +40 front, +45 rear but hard to say w/ just pics. You'll love it when you drop it, have you picked out some coilovers yet?

 

Ooops, forgot to mention, nice looking wheels you got there, it's going to look perfect w/ the drop

 

Thanks! hven't chosen the coils yet because I'm doing some more research to see if I can get away with springs possibly. I like the flexibility of coils, but since I'm not going to track my car or do anything more than commuting then I am beginning to think it may be overkill. I'm glad that I didnt do the coils the same time as the wheels though because its been good to feel the way the car drives with the extra weight from the wheels and less cushion from the smaller tires so it gives me a starting point so ultimately I will know what changes to attribute to the wheels and what to attribute to the suspension (when I get it).
