Offset: +30mm
Tire: Bridgestone RE050A 265/35/19
On BCR Coilovers, the rear is all the way down and the front still has a good amount left.
I want to go lower badly but I didn't know these don't drop low : (

Wow man, total BS today. Had my rims and coils installed last Saturday and was gonna lower them down more (was testing the waters) and put longer studs on this Friday, but my front tire blew out while driving to work >=(. Only good to come out of this was my rims not damaged in any way, maybe have been different if I had 35 series instead of the more common 40.
Had 225/40/18x9 and 235/40/18x10 and it looked proper, not too try hard-ish but with enough stretch for my taste. Would moving the 235`s up front and putting 245`s in back help lesson the chance of this happening again?

what are your offfsets that require you to have such a stretch?
not implying those are hard stretches (they arent) but meaning that you do actually need the room for the stretch (you've modded the fender and really really need that ltitle extra clearance.)

Negative Offset Obsession...Need advice!
Hi guys,i need advice on how to make these work.They're ssr vienna kreis 19x10.5 inch wheels with an offset of negative 13.Test fitted them on my car and they poke out bout 2.5 inches which is a little too much.Have considered stretching 235/35 tires on it and cambering the wheels to the max but will still poke out too much rite?i'm unsure how much i can pull the fenders but all in all i need help on how i can pull the look off.Any advice on how i could make it work or is my negative offset obsession a little too much?
I like the clean lines and looks of the car and wouldnt like to put any widebodykit on.any suggestions?
The problem is i've always wanted a set of 19's on my car and have been searching for these wheels for quite some time and now that i've found it is in a ridiculous offset.As i live in Malaysia,these kinda wheels are quite difficult to come by and i am nt exactly spoilt for choice.Even if there are,they would be ridiculously expensive and i plan on sticking to my budget.i'm getting a good deal on these wheels so thats why i'm tryin my best to get it to fit.
The front's fit perfectly.Only the rears are the issue.I have already rolled the fenders from my previous wheel set up.
The current tires fitted on the rears are 265/30's.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated!Thanks in advance...

whats the max pull?
Max neg camber is 2.5 thru adjustment on the lower arm,any idea hw much will it tuck the rim in frm the top?
Tire shops over here are pretty hesitant on stretching tires,the max they would try is 235/35's.will that work?
I'm afraid of pulling the fenders as if i cant pull off the look,there's gonna be no way 2 revert to the fenders original shape.i love this car and dont wanna do any major mods to it unless i'm sure to get it 2 fit.was thinking along the lines of a slight pull and flare with a slight poke.something like this....
