That stretch is ridiculous. One day that bead is going to slip off and then it kinda goes downhill from there

Hi again

as before i mentioned new to Z land , i read quiet a lot on F 18x10 -3 R 18x12 - 20 and there is no way i am going to make it work as i need without heavy mods to fenders flares painting and all that stuff. so i'll have to sell Meisters

Now i have two options and would like to know your opinion on these ones

option 1

SSR AGLE Premium (sp1 look like) , specs are F - 18x10 + 19 , R - 18x10 + 11 , how flush they will sit ? planing to run 265/35 all around ? or i will need some 10MM spacers to fill up fenders ? front lip is kinda small for me



option 2

SSR SP1 , specs are : 18x9.5 + 5 , 18x11 - 1

i know fronts will fit just nice , but what about rears? i've seen u guys run 18x10.5 + 15 with 15mm spacers that makes 0 offset , so 18x11-1 with rolled fenders and really little campber play should be ok for me?



sp1-s are 1300$ more expensive than AGLE premiums , both are forged , but sp1 looks more aggressive and wait time is going to be 3-4 months from Japan , and this is the worst part for me

or i just should order knock of varrstoen es6 18x10.5 + 15 all around and get them in 2 weeks time and will cost me 1350$ landed to my door which is same price as SSR AGLE as mentioned and pictured up in the post

forgot to mention car has factory brembo calipers

Default Is this stupid? 18x11 +16 (all around)

So...

I bought these enkei rs05rr's

They're 18x11 +16 all the way around

I'm running 265/35 up front
And 285/35 in the rear

There's no way I could get enough front camber with stock camber arms for these to sit right ?
I had to put a 5/16 spacer up front because it was barely rubbing on the upper control arm.

Would a 18x10 +22 on a 265/35 fit a lot better?

Or should I go down to a 9.5?

with stock camber arms i doubt you'll be able to run enough camber to "fix" that. it looks pretty mexiflush at the moment.

18x10+22 gets my vote.

Judging by my coilover height, would that be a problem with a 265 tire ?

18x10 +22 would work.

No way you're getting that to with with stock FUCA's.

I am running 18x10.5 +15 fronts on 265 35's on stock arms and they fit perfectly.

Just to help put into perspective...

After making the investment on your wheels why not just spend a bit more on FUCA's and add some camber to fit your current setup?

I guess we should ask what your main objective with the car is first though.

Are spc's good? I don't want to be running ridiculous camber up front and having the rears straight, I feel like that would look dumb. How hard is a Fuca install?

Why don't guys just buy the right parts in the first place, instead of trying to adapt/rig the wrong ones? I just don't get it.

because i bought these off my friend and got a good deal, they seemed like they fit fine when i tested them, but they were stretched on a 235 tire.. im running 265's now

Should i just purchase new fronts or just buy FUCA's

Are FUCA's the only part i'll need to run these?

how much negative camber would that be?
