Hey guys, Im lookin to switch it up a little bit and rock some AME Circlar Spec R's in blue or gold but Im curious about the offsets I will be able to run, with/ with out rolling fenders...

Sizes are 18x9 +15, 18x10 +15


Im currently running 2.25 degrees neg. camber. And I would like to run a 295/35






Thanks for the help.

 

go for it. worst case ya gotta roll your fenders. Go big or go home. (you said it not me)
go with the blues while your at it

 

Roll your fenders.

 

mmmm lipage is worthy of fender rolling....

 

Nice wheels.

First of all, what kind of drop do you have? I ask because the drop might make a big difference with the smaller 18" wheels with 35 sidewalls.

It would be VERY close even with fender rolling. I think with that camber you would get it to fit, but you should really consider getting some rear camber arms as bad negative camber will negate the postiives of having a wider and stickier tire.

If you're dead set on these, I'd suggest rolling the fenders and putting the wheels on with a camber kit, then adjusting the camber out until you reach the limit without rubbing.

I personally prefer higher offset wheels that allow to adjust the offset via wheel spacers. I just don't really care about a big lip.

 

mmmm lip. I love it. I need to find the wheel with the largest lip

 

+1 on the lip, big is good but really if you have to give up half an inch on the lip to get a more reasonable offset, i wouldnt give a flip.

 

count on rolling your fenders

 

wow, with a +15 you guys think he could run a 295 on a 10 inch wide? is this with a super low profile or a standard '35' series sidewall?

 

If you get the blue and dont like them I will trade for my Advan RGs

Goodluck

 

I think it would be VERY close depending on how low the car is and the rear camber. I personally wouldn't do it, but it might work. Just make sure you get the tires from somewhere that can exchange them if they don't fit. You'll also want to do a VERY aggressive fender roll, meaning flattening out the fender lip almost flat against the fender well.

As far as offsets are concerned, I've seen people run 295/35's on a 19x10.5" +22 wheel and a little fender rolling. It was close, but camber was an issue. These wheels are lower diameter and slightly narrower so that would help a little...

Also, because it's .5" narrower than the average volk wheel, that outer lip would sit about the same place a +21 to +22 10.5" wide wheel would be.

In the end, I'd say that you'd be better off going with a +20 to +25 offset so you could level out that camber and get the best traction out of the wide tires.

 

What's going on Guys,

Forgive me for piggybacking, but I have the same question... Volk GTF's 19x9.5 F +1 19x10.5 R +5 in order to maximize the lip size again....

No drop yet but I do plan on it what would be the best ride height to combo well with this setup in mind....

 

if you are doing any sort of decent sized tire, you are going to need lots of body work to make that look proper, or ungodly amounts of camber (to the detriment of handling)

 

It should fit if you roll/cut your fenders. I have 19x10 +14 of the same wheel with a 285/35 Falken and it clears with room to spare even lowered ~1.5 inches.

 

Thanks DJK,

Do you have anymore pics at different angles?

Also what's your overall setup as far as width/offset front/rear and the tires you used front and rear? also what springs did you use for your drop? How low?

 

but what you guys are not taking into consideration is that every tire is different - tire sizes are a meaningless number, like boost pressure is a meaningless number - it's only relative to that same tire, of another size. Tires are like shirts - a large from one store is not the same as a large from another. A 285/35 from one company can be vastly different from another, and as such, what works on one guys car, might completely rub on another.

One wouldn't think a 9.5 +20 with a 275/40 tire would never come close to rubbing - but on my own car, with even upwards of 4 degrees of camber (not that I'd ever run that but just tried it for ****s and giggles) it rubbed over any bump that caused even the slightest compression of suspension. The previous tire I ran (same size, different brand on the same wheel) never rubbed

 

Yeah, I know how that goes. I had huge issues going from Falken FK-451's to BFG KDW 2's. The KDW's and FK-452's are big tires. Others such as the FK-451's, Toyos, etc, are a bit narrower. You can find the exact specs concerning diameter, sidewall, and actual tire width on the manufacturer's site .

As far as the OP, I know he was referring to BFG Drag Radials because he told everyone what he was buying in another thread.
