i know you guys have heard this a thousand times but some advise would be apperciated. I have sevas s55 wheels 20/8.5 and 20/10 with 225/35 and 275/30 tires on them. My offset is 25 front and 40 rear. I have tien s-techs springs and i am rubbing on the front bumper screws. Do u think eibachs will give me the extra clearence i need? what do ya think?

 

Im running

20x8.5 with 225/30/20 et35
20x10 with 245/30/20 et40

But I'll be purchasing 10mm n 15mm spacers soon
dropped on Eibachs no rub at all, even full turn. no fender mods or heat gun used.

Use a Heat gun, or go to your local hardware store and replace the bumper screw with something smaller.

 

i already cut and heated the lining but now im just rubbing that screw.

 

Better for someone with that same offset to chime in. 25 is really aggressive in the front. 30 would probably clear it.

 

should i have the wheels machined down?

 

You'll have to move the factory bolt location closer to the head light. Tap a new spot and shave the factory bolt hole / mount. You will also need to heat the liner out of the way. I've done the mod on mine, looks factory and no rubbing with a 2.75" drop.

 

jeremy do u have any pics?

 

Yea others have done this so I am sure you can get it to work. if not you can take some off the rim with out compromising them. Just make sure you go to a reputable place if you go that direction. I would try to mod it first then have this as a last option...
