Default Are these wheels going to make it?

S1's....11's with +17 offset in the rear and 9.5 with a +24 in the front.

PS2's 305x30x19 (R) and 265'sx35x19 (F)

with rolled fenders and adjusting arms front and rear.

Not sure if its going to fly!

negative camber will be your best friend.

KW Variant 3's going on.

I should qualify this by saying that the car is getting a widebody and these were intended to be interim wheels until that happens. Initially I was thinking that we would go with 12's when that happens, but it looks like we could live with these sizes.

KW's V3 don't really go that low, however check out Zexy's posts with his S1's 11" wide and you will see what camber/lowered will do for you.

I also recommend putting 1 jack under the lower control arm to simulate weight on the car.

Works S1's...............but I think I may have to set aside the rears until the widebody goes on. Camber kit may help, but I don't want to wear out the tires in 8k either. Not at 400+ per tire.

I'll have to re-order 10.5 +24 for the rears to solve the problem for now.

Unless I'm missing something here, chime in if I am.

I've always like the Work S1s. They'll look super clean on the roadster.

Agree, the the wheels will set in some with the weight setting down.

Interesting that you went with an overly aggressive rear wheel fitment (width/offset), then went with a conservative fitment in the front. You could've gone wider, or at least gone with a lower offset to match the rear...

You can try machining down the rear a bit, but you'll probably still be out a little far. It can work, but as sean1967 said, your paint is going to pay the price, especially if you get sticky tires.

Good luck!
