If I go 225/35 will this stretch it enough or do you think 225/30 will be safer?
mv350 I appreciate your time and help!!
yes 225/30 will be safer

let me clarify a bit more http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2010/06...e-helluva.html
no wont happen, unless you run a crazy *** pull that will rquire new fenders if you ever wanna sell the car.

I'm not talking about slammed, probably a little over an inch.
you should be perfectly fine with a 215/35 up front.

19x9.5 + 40 all the way around? Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks.
itll be kinda sunken in if thats what your asking. front will sit pretty well.

had a set of Teins SS and had no problems with rubbing, now that i switched out to Megans im rubbing like crazy and not even as low to what i was with Teins.

had my fenders rolled thinking that will solve it but nope rubbing continues. how do i go about removing or modding the end bumper tab?

is there a way to mess with the preload on the Megans so the spring doesnt compress so easily?

turn your dampening up to stiff, then to set your preload on megans you leave a 3mm from the perch with the spring un compressed completely.

What size tires to run... Just purchased the Vossen VVSCV1

20x10.5 +42
20x9 +38

Want as little fender mod as possible...I don't mind rolling but don't wanna shave. Will be lowered on BC Coils.

Hey CL!
I'm think of buying a set of rims that used to be on an 06 is250 that fit with cut fenders. I have an 08 is250. Just wondering if the wheel/fender specs stayed the same so that they'll fit on my 08 as well.
the specs are
20x9 +21 f
20x10 +29 R

Thanks for any help
