People say rolling Fenders lead to rotting and corrosion years down the line from moisture. Is this true?

I can't believe the improvement in ride and handling. Of course the first two are Before and last three are After.

^ looks much better with the drop. Did you get bigger tires in front?

redlinemac

Thanks and no to the larger tires. All of this is the coilovers with adjustment.

Looks way better now redline

redlinemac

Much appreciated. Thanks for helping me get here bigwes. Now on to the next project.

I have seen so many pages on wheels now the past weeks and my brain is melting of it
flame me but i'm trying to find a good setup
the thing is i can't find the wheels i like over here in Holland and i want to order them in the US or the UK which have to be right because of the shipping cost i can't return them

so far i have learned ; 18 inch with BC (br-rs) coilovers will give you good handling with that extra bit of comfort compare to 19 inch
so i have a fender roller and i want to get a flush look with rims who has a lip , is 18" 8.5 j in front and 18" 9.5 j in the back a good setup and what will be the right offset then ?
or go 8.5 and use spacers to to trim the back wheels ? which i don't prefer
i don;t want stretched tires the tires need to be the same width


like this
tires : 265/40 in the rear and 245/40 in the front ?
i don't want negative camber , that is really a no go in Europe

thanks in advance

^^ u should be able to fit a 255/35 on a 9.5, cuz I have a 255/35 on a 10 and its a slight stretch. U can also run a 225/40 in the front and it will fit just fine with no stretch at all. Also, to get a nice fitment on the front u will need an offset of at least a +15 since u don't want to use spacers. I have an 8.5 in the front with a +25 offset and it's still a little sunk. For the rear, the +20 should sit pretty flush if not real close. Hope that helps

so maybe its better to get the 9.5 and space it out too get the 10 looks
i only want to use spacers to trim the wheel to a nice setup , i can't make them smaller when i have them , but i can make them wider with spacers if really necessary
the one thing i don't want to do is pull the fenders
thanks for your help
any help is appreciated

What kind of width and offset do I need to clear the z06 brakes up front and supra tt in the rears? Right now I have 20x8.5 +38 F and 20x10 +40 R and they barely clear. Every time I try and find a setup that's more aggressive and double check with wheel offset calculator the setup is too aggressive poking out or I lose inner clearance which would require me to use a spacer which I don't wanna do. Tried that with this setup and never felt safe.

I want a 20" setup that's flush, maybe with a little even rim poke.

Here's how it looks now. Pretty low with about -2.5°f & -2°r camber.

Just got a set of polished TT mk4 stocks with 235 fronts and 275 rears im stock height with coilovers on the way does anyone use spacers to flush them out more? Cant find anything on it.

Width and offset does little to nothing when clearing brake calipers. You need to look at spoke design. The curvature of the spokes to be more exact.

That's what I figured. I'm also only aware of a few brands that market their wheels as high disk or r-disk for bigger brakes. The more expensive companies work, volk, ssr weds. Looking to go a little cheaper.

A few weeks ago I went from 275/35/20 to 275/30/20 and I'm starting to get a lot of road noise. Is this normal for that low of tire? Or should I get under there and look for something specific?

i see alot of ppl who have Falken tires on , any reviews on those (type ) ? , because they are considered here as a budged tire same as Nexen
