im thinking the +35 on the front for brake clearance...you can go more agressive but remember you can compensate width of rim with more offset to have more lip on the rims

the wheel im getting is +40 in the front with a 9.5. you think i should go with a 9.0 width to get a deeper lip in the front? looking at the above white car with the 9.0 width, it looks a little too think, no?

are the rims you getting..do they happen to have different disk types...i know for work rims they have an A disk which the face of the rim is more curved, an R disk for big brake clearances, and O disk for a flat face, they have other disk designs also....usually A, and R are used for front rims and O are for the rears...which rim brand are you looking into?

most of the jdm wheels have high disk, mid disk, low disk, and sometimes even super low disk choices. that's not limited to work, in fact that applies to most jdm wheels

sorry, front is normal disk and the rear is low disk. the front is yielding a 2.79 inch lip and the rear is getting a 3.79 lip. is that enough?

going with the leon hardiritt beil in 21

sounds good to me! unless you want more...thats up to you, you can always get more

what suspension you gonna be running?...so you know your ride height and the offsets you wanna get, with the offsets and sizes you chose i dont think any fender mods will be needed

cant wait to see pics!!!

thats the issue...i would love to get more lip, but i dont want to have to do any pulling or shaving of the fenders.

with the suspension, since i have the swb, my only reasonable option is to wait for springs, if someone will hurry up and make them. i know tanabe is in development for them, but who knows how long that will take. hopefully soon.

i will def post when everything is good to go!!!!
