for those that have under +30 in front...do u guys ride slammed? or i mean..tucking tire? if so, what did u have to do to avoid rubbing in the front while making turns/u-turns?? i kno some people slam it on bags with low offsets and ride high..but for those who ride slammed..what does it take to fit an offset lower than +30 to work in front? for instance..maybe a +18?

The only way to run slammed and flushed is to run stretched tires. This give extra clearance for the wheel to come out while the tire is still under the fender. The concept is still the same while turning, eventhough the wheels are sticking out, the tires are still tucked and away from the fender.

The best way to measure is to slam the car till it bottoms out, then turn the wheel left to right. If the tires touches the fenders, then theres a good chance that it will rub when turning and having a full load on that corner.

holy gezz! you guys are running crazy offsets and major camber to run that close to the fender! With the pot holes we got here in vancouver, i aint got the ***** to run anything that crazy!

20x8.5 +35 245/30/20 1 degree camber
20x10 +43 w/ a 15mm spacer 275/30/20 2 degree camber



i didnt go with a stretched set up, but respect those that can manage to live with it =)


Im curious guys, a lot of you stuck with 19in, is there a reason, well besides the fact that you have a lot more side wall to be able to stretch.
