Steve-O, any updates!

It's good to see more people running wider than 9" in the rear!

from the looks of you pictures your fronts are pretty flush. You can roll your front fenders and get some hubcentric 10mm spacers for the front and get like 15mm or 20mm for the rear. 15mm and up you will need studs. H&R's come with studs. Just google H&R wheel spacers.

10mm for the front is all I need you think? What If I went 30 all around.. would that look dumb?

Wish I could photochop it.

I personally think that is way to much. 10mm is a bit of 1/4 inch thick 20mm is about an inch thick and 30mm is over an inch thick. of course it all depends on the look your going for. if you go 30mm you will have to roll your fenders all the way around and possibly have to pull them. Like i said from your picture 10mm up front is all you need but its hard to say not in person.

Enkei RP-F1

Front 18X9 +35 with 15mm kics spacer Tires 225/40/18 Rolled fenders
Rear 18X10 +38 with 15mm kics spacer Tires 245/40/18 Rolled fenders

We did not want to pull fenders but we might upgrade to 20mm spacers.

Ok.. I tried to search and couldnt find anything on this set up. No flaming pls.. Im about to pick up some Work vsxx's with the following specs: 19x8 and 19x9 with +38 offset. How will this look on the SC and what tire size should I run with? SC Eibach Tokico blue setup.

I test fitted my 17x9.5 +15 on the fronts today and it looks like this...




Does it seem like i'll need a pull to clear the rims?

I would jack up your wheel, see were it sits now and then make the decision to pull or not.

agreed, you have to mount a tire and drop the car to really see where it sits, the travel makes a big difference.

here's my latest fit, just for Jibbby. . .

19x11-29
