Hi gents,

I've been sifting through the threads on rim fitment and I have to ask if what I have planned will fit and with what kind of adjustments. It's not aggressive but it is borderline as to if I'll need more than just a shave on the rear and roll on the front....

18 x 9.5 et 24 fronts
18 x 10 et 17 rears
Stock camber arms (at the moment).

I will be lowered on coilovers and I'm not sure what tyre profile to go with so cannot help with that just yet but for what the car gets used for, a little stretch is acceptable but nothing more if I can help it. As for camber, I'll be on stock arms for now.

Thanks for any help.

I have similar wheel fitment as you and can't imagine running anything bigger than a 225 front 245 rear. This is with a front roll & rear shaved also. It's pretty flush with those specs...

Look back @ my post, it's about aggressive as you can get (give or take a few mm) without pulling the fenders/excessive camber

Thanks Danny. I have thought about downsizing the lips so I'm running 9 on the front and 9.5 on the rear.

All four fenders have to be rolled. My drop is extremely low, haven't got alignment yet. Seems to fit perfectly being REALLY LOW and no alignment.
Are you still runign his set up . . .

PS. I do realize its a older thread.

I was planning on running Varrstoen es2's in 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 with a +22 offset all around, but I found a used set with everything the same besides the offset of the front wheels which are +12 not +22 like I was looking for. How much more difficult would it be to fit 19x9.5 +12 in the front versus +22?

Front will fit fine, I have the ES2s with +12 effective on the front & fenders are just rolled.
Rear will be very tight, here's a picture of my +22 rear with just a shave, -4 camber & a 245/35 tire. I just can't see a 10mm wider wheel fitting unless you pull ever so slightly. Should give you an idea..

Alright thats good to hear. But yeah the fronts are 19x9.5 +12 and the rears are 19x10.5 +22. That's the same setups you're running right?

Yup, the fronts are actually +22, but I needed a 10mm spacer to clear my Supra TT calipers, so yeah +12 effective. My rears are +22 yup. Should all be the same.

Haha thanks I'm still glad that guy with the ES7s flaked on me & lead me on a 100 mile mission to buy these from you. I love the fitment and these tires should last me until I get a new set of wheels. Got some goo gone for those damn wheel weight stickers, going to try and find a black to match so I can touch up the slight rash on the lip and they should be 100

Default input on 18x8.5 +20 and 18x9.5 +40

I'd like to order these wheels but really don't want to deal with shaving or rolling. "Maybe" a slight roll.

lowered on springs at the moment, planning on coilovers in near future.
18x8.5 front +20
18.9.5 rear +40

tire option avail
245/40 front
275/35 rear.

thoughts?
