I picked up some new wheels fot the LS. The tires you see in the pics are garbage. I still need to switch my tires from my old wheels. This was just a test fit to see how bad I need to roll/pull the fenders.
Spec's of the setup that will be on the car. (not the tires in the pics)
18x9F (225/40)
18x10R (245/40)
The tires you see in the pics are 255/40F and 275/40R. And the rear fender is resting on the tire in the pic. Oh, and I will be painting the red center caps black.
What do you guys think? After I switch the tires, will I have to do a mad pull or will a slight roll get it done? It's just natural camber right now.
depends on the offset on the wheels. those tires in the pic would probably fit with a pull and more camber.
The offsets are 12F and 30R. Thats the only thing I found on the wheels. I want to have a small stretch on the tires anyway. I'm going to get the tires on and then do another test fit. I might be able to get away with just a shave in the rear?
For the rears i think you should be fine with a roll and maybe a slight pull for 245 . Hard to tell unless you get those tires on and then mod the fenders to fit.
I will be running a 225 up front, but I'm going to try and run the 245's I already have in the rear. I have a stack of 245's in the garage!
I'm going to mount one of my spare 245's on a rear rim wed and see how it fits then. I'm going to do a slight shave on the rear tonight and get those little sqaure tab sections cut off the fender lip.
