I am dropping off my car to the body shop on the 16th for fender/paint work before I fit my wheels and I had some questions I could not find with research. Any help would be appreciated!!

Wheel specs:
19x9.5/10.5 +25
225/35 F 245/35 R

1. What tabs for the front and rear do I need to trim/cut to fit without rubbing? Any pictures?

2. I have megan rear camber arms, but only one set. Do I need both as seen in the picture below?



3. Do I need adjustable front ball joints in the front?


PS-This is not my first time fitting wheels on a car, but this time around it's on my daily so I want to be sure I don't have it rubbing on every single turn.

 

Nice specs/ offsets. Tuckable for sure. Ill see if i can find the picture of the fender tabs.

Pretty much shave the front and rear fenders. cut the front tab and relocate. Heat gun the liner and remold it.

You will be good to go after

 

1. the fender tab is at the edge where it meets the bumper. the fender tab and the bumper tab are held together by a separate plastic tab and a bolt.
2. you need the set that allows for camber adjustment (obviously), but i wouldn't be able to tell you which one.
3. no, unless you're running even more aggressive offsets and/or wider wheels in the front.

 

this is the camber kit u need...atleast that is what i have and it allows me to adjust my camber

You'll want to get these front adjustable ball joints :

I've got a set on order from Assaultech right now to help balance out my 2.5 degrees of negative camber up front.

 

Do I really really need them? I just don't want to get into going nuts with this car because I drive it into the office every day. lol

Yup! That's the one I have!

I have the rear megan camber arms, just not the toe and track arms. I believe that's the only set I need.

I may run them down to a +22, but I have seen multiple people get away with that and be fine esp w/225 tire.

Thanks! Pics would be great, esp of your car. I love it! I searched you a few times.

I have my subaru super close, but I don't really drive that car. Now I went with 10.5 +15 stock body. Idc about cutting that car up!!





oh and it's is-f blue, well was. New color now!

 

Get that Subaru out of here...wrong forum! Haha, JK...That thing is too BEAUTIFUL!!

 

DMONEY?!! Crazy, we seem to move from forum to forum together. I remember you asking me questions how I molded my mines trunk lip. I moved from Subie to 335i to IS350.

 

OH YEA, btw guys there IS a front camber kit for our cars made by Nagisa = $$$

 

If you are lowered with any semi-aggressive wheel setup, you'll have a good amount of negative camber up front. I have 2.5 degrees up front with just stockers and BCRs. Once the fenders are rolled, the SPCs are installed, I'll be able to get close to an acceptable "factory" amount of camber...thus maintaining normalish tire wear.

I DD my 350 too; and with a 30 minute commute each way the BFGs have been taking a toll with that added camber.

 

SPC is the front ball joints? I daily my car also, but only about 8mi to work and home each day. Well then tanning and gym, but you know.

I remember your car. and yes, it's me in disguise!

I love my IS!! More then the dumb subaru. ahaha

haha!! I wish you kept yours.

Strasse, strasse, strasse!!!

What else needs to be done to the fronts besides this? Just a roll?

Any tips for the rears?

 

bump! I really need pics of what tabs to shave/cut in the rear! Or does that only need a pull/roll?

 

Just a roll should be suffice. There's a lot of room in the rear. Most people only have problems with rub in the front.

 

you will already have a slight pull due to the force from rolling.
