Default Most Agreesive Setup
Sup Guys,

What is the MOST Agressive wheel setup you can do for the fronts without doing any fender mods on Coilovers?

Please post your width, offset, wheel size, tire size, and camber spec.

Don't forget about the pictures!

Thanks for the help.

Tire size is huge.

I have 19x8.5 up front with a +20. I HAVE to run 215's or I'll kill my fenders... which are already cut.

NO fender mods? What fun is that?

What is it with people treating these cars like they are a $1M Duesenberg?

I would agree with socalsc4.

i am planning for aftermarket wheels and i do plan to shave my fenders. Not intending to thread jack, but i am looking for the same answers but with cut fenders.

GS4Fiend, i really thought about this.. and fitment is really everything. i personally would not want to lose out on a few more MM we can push with cut fenders.

New chapter... much props for running 215's on a 8.5. i would be so scared to drive anywhere with CA potholes!!!

Well, my rears are shaved. Just dont want to roll the fronts because nobody can roll fenders without leaving dimples and such. Plus im running a 9.5" with +42 offset and the wheel is sticking out by an inch. Wonder how much camber i need to put.

I had -3 out back. Tucking 19x10 +15.... and I do mean tucking rim. I did have to cut the rears with a body saw and it clears by about 2-3 credit cards.. that's the rears though
