Hi all, got a question, just wondering with my wheels 18x10+22 & 18x9+22 if I were to flip my rims ( spin centres around ) so there neg 22 which should make them poke an extra 44mm? will I be able to flare the guards out to accommodate? I have fully polished inner and outer 3pc work meister s1, I was running 215/40 up front and 235/40 rear but now changed to 235 up front n 255 rear and it looks poo, so yea basically asking has anyone ran this kind of setup being neg 22? thanks

I assuming flipping the faces. Making your inners your outers and your outer your inner.

Uhh if you have to ask if your fenders will fit -22 x10 then dont do it

^^ oops my bad then in that case, do it, I don't remember if meisters are welded together though. The fenders aren't a problem if you are willing to spend the money to do it.

Why is there Always people trying to make fun, shame, meisters come
1 2 or 3 piece, the reason I ask is because when I run - 2.5 degrees on the rear I have plenty of space between wheel edge / tyre and just thought with a massive wheelarch stretch or flair by heating up the panel with an oxy it would work ( heating panels is how u stretch and shrink ) no need to make fun or have a laugh, and yes flip/spin the centers how else should I describe it? As mentioned the entire wheel has been machined and polished, all I'm asking is will it work a simple yes or no would be much appreciated thanks,

flipping the face does not equate to opposite offset. there is a calculation for this, ill try to find it

10x ~22 should work if im not mistaken. Theres a lot of people who are running 10.5 with some neg offset on here so i dont see why yours would be any different. A 10.5 with 0 offset would be equivelent to a 10 with -12 leaving only 10mm unaccounted for which should be taken care of by running 2 more degrees of negative camber, which i think should be feasible considering you stated your only running 2.5 on your current setup. Feel free to chime in anyone if im totally off.

I wouldn't say this is a forum FULL of wheel fitment guys. Theres probably other places that specialize more in this.
