Default Insane offset help (and I mean Insane...) PICTURES WANTED!!!

Hey there fellas,

So I'm definitely going with the motto "make the car fit the wheels" with the Work wheels I got shipped over from the land of the rising sun.

My rears are 18x12J +0 offset.

Ikeya camber (+ others) arms are on there way, so I'll be able to dial in enough camber to attempt the fit - most likely with a fender pull + roll.

So my question is anyone else running numbers like that without a widebody? I'd prefer not to get the wheels machined, so if anyone has these sorts of numbers throw in your pictures!

Peace out.

That shouldn't be a big problem. You need a good amount of fender pull.
If you go low enough, maybe your natural camber should be enough! Soarer's/SC's can eat a lot of wheel and they have a lot of camber when lowered ^^

I forgot the members name in here but he/she was running like 18x11 front and 18x12 rear. I know for sure the rear were 0 offset and I think the front was like 6 offset. You can make it work with some roll and pull and some camber.

I really think too that, with a 1 inch pull and a good camber, you can make them fit! What tires are you going to put on?

I think you would need at least a one inch pull. I recall CamberSC had some crazy low offset Work Equips on his SC back in the day. You might want to look at one of his old threads.

I have 18x10.5" -2 and 18x12 -3 wheels with "stock" fenders. Front rolled and max oem camber, rear pulled with a lot of camber (adjustable upper control arm). I'm going to pull rear more to minimize the camber. So it's possible to put 18x12 but you need stretched tires and camber or crazy pulled fenders.

That's perfect!

It's been difficult to find pictures of cars running the same numbers I'm about to stick on the car. I too, want to know the brand of kit you're running... Vertex skirts??

Like others said you need about an inch pull in the rear. Much more than what just a fender roller can do. My friend here had 18x12 +0 in the rear and it was still rubbing after an aggressive pull. And that was stretching 255/35s on a 12 and negative camber.
