Working out custom offsets. Thinking of just going with 9.5 +40 & 10.5 +45. Once that's locked and Tax return arrives the order will be placed. Of course sticking with 255/40 and 285/35.

Edit: BTW I'm gonna give the BFG Sport COMP-2 a try with these new wheels.

OK... Went through the whole thread and I still find dagon68 as the perfect fitment.

Dagon68 have you had any issues? Can we have some more pictures?

Just want to make sure I get this order perfect. Really can't go back on custom forged wheels. LOL!

Agree^ w/ the Swift drop his specs are perfect. I think I would've ditto'd his specs too if I was riding a bit higher. That front fender gave me problems when flush (w/ spacers) w/ my previous wheels so I went +40 on my front specs.

C'mon Dagon, more pics please!!

Those specs are very close to my old Rennen set-up, Rob, with dagon's fronts inset a mere 2mm from what i had mine on.

I do believe dagon has a bit more negative camber in the rear, though. I'm also on Swifts now, and with camber very well within OEM specs, my 9.5+38 rim is already extending a bit beyond the fenders.

I'd love to see some pics Mike.

EDIT: See attached. The +32 will net a larger lip, and 1.1" (28mm) further from the outside of the OEM 18" and 2mm closer to the inside suspension.

The +38 will have a 6mm smaller lip than above. It will be 0.9" (22mm) from the outside of the OEM 18" and 8mm closer to the inside suspension.

I'm still leaning towards the +32. Really want to see additional pictures.

Thanks Guys. I shaved the fender liner above rear wheels before I had the wheels put on so I don't know if that would have been an issue but it does look like it would have rubbed. Also, for the front tires, there is a plastic hump that sticks out (its just behind the headlight) on the plastic liner. I shaved this down too prior to wheel install but last week I had to shave it some more because I heard it rub with car loaded and hitting a bump. Anyone considering this setup should DO IT! man i am still loving it. I took it in for alignment/adjustments and said it didn't need it.
