Spirits Vientray
20x8.5 et 34
20x9.5 et 34

Falken 452
235/30/20 Front
255/30/20 Rear


dropped with tein cs v2, no current fender mods-can have the fenders shaved/rolled.


this is just a shot in the dark...one more option before placing an order and having to wait till right before fall for rims to show up from japan...

Hmmm maybe shave it since they're 20's. They should work fine though.

Shave the fenders and you'll be golden. Those tires should still work. Gonna look sick!

The front is fine as is. You may have to roll the rear if you don't do some negative camber.

dont have a problem doing that with the camber just not sure how low itll go and how much of a difference itll make since ive got the tein cs v2's... i hear they dont crank down as low as some of the other coilovers...the cars going to be in the bodyshop next week to have some stuff painted anyway so ill probably just have them take care of the fenders too... im assuming shaving the fender is less of a pain then rolling with less chance of screwing up the paint? or am i wrong...

A very slight shave on the back is all you should need sir!

I think if your already gonna be in the shop just have them cut the fender lips off.

that way you'll be ready.

also, I think you should run some spacers.
I'm no expert in 20's for clearance, but I would think 10 to 15mm for rear and 5 to 10mm for front should be alright

I agree with GATO. Shave the lip off just in case you want to mod some more or drop it more in the future, the fender is already set up. I shaved a little on my rear fender and now I want to drop the car a little more, I have to shave it again. Twice the labor, twice the $$$.

im pretty sure shaving the fenders will take care of it. I have 20x8.5Front +45offset and 20x10Rear +42 offset with 245/35/20, 275/30/20 and shaved my fenders and am perfectly fine with my drop. only rubs in the front here & there depedning on speed and freeway dip.

It'll definately clear. I was running 275/30/20 on a 20x10 +37 offset and it was fine even with no shaving. I had slight camber though.

I've got slight camber and running +20mm less front and rear than you're planning to. My tires are smaller though running 225/35 front and 245/35 rear
