Cyan,

Glad you worked them out, but yea 265's would work a whole lot better.

Oh and yea it looks funny without the spacers.

And you did not answer my question are you on bags? Just cause in some pics your rear sat lower then others, just was wondering.

alrite guys....need your opinions on hear:

20x10.5 -5(F) 20x10.5 -15(R) wrapped with Toyos Proxes 265/30/20 all around

Will it fit? I will probably need a fender roll? Do I need camber work? If I do then I prob wont purchase them. I drive daily so I dont want to be rolling around with -5' camber. I have stock suspension right now, I know I'll get coilovers soon. I can get a real good deal on these so I am heavily considering the buy.

Is anybody running the same setup? If so what did you do to make it fit? Pics and Replies are greatly appreciated.

I am curious, what do you mean by -7? I am running the standard setup **STOCK** which sucks. I am getting ready to get some new rims next week. Depending on how it looks via the offset I will be deciding as to what spacers I will run if at all.

-7?

The rear you can fit with a fender rool, slight pull and a pretty decent amount of negative camber. The front on the other hand could be done but i wouldnt suggest it if you wanna drive it alot. With that fitment you will have to pull the front fenders and run close to if not more than -3 degrees camber. Which wont be very ideal for a car you plan to drive very much. Change the front to something like a 9.5 -5 to -10 at the most or a 10.5 +5 to +10 at the most. Good luck!!

No, I'm on A'PEXi N1 coilovers. some of the pics are from a few weeks ago. I just dropped it some more last week before I took it in for the alignment. Also, the one pic where its really low (the one where I'm in the car) is because it was taken while I was in the middle of a 25mph slide and all the weight was on the right rear corner.

-7 is the offset of the wheel with the spacer installed on it.
Take the spacer off the wheel and the offset changes to +18. (It's a 25mm spacer: +18-25= -7).

^ how about a 15mm spacer instead of the 25mm? I know the stance looks killer but what is the point if you can't enjoy your Z?

Ahh okay so the more positive the offset is the further in the well the rim is. The less the offset and the further out the rim is in the well?

Stock Rim offset is?

My current rim offset is 15mm fronts and 25mm rears. They still need to come out more in my opinion.

IIRC, it is around +30 in front and +2 or 3 more in the back.

Question for everyone here:

I bought a set of Work VS-XX. 19x10 -4 and 19x11 +0.

What size tires would you guys recommend? 245 in front and 265 in back?

I don't mind a slight pull in the back and they're already rolled.

I keep hearing people say they are going to pull their fenders. How are you guys doing this. Is this something your taking to a shop or is this something your doing yourself. The starter of this thread obviously went to a shop for that but a slight pull how would you accomplish this?

Does anyone have any pics of what 225 on 9J rims looks like? I found what 245's would look like on 10.5J Straight hawtness! I just dont know if 225's would give me the same look. I know that my 245's dont.

You could pull yourself or have a shop do it. I've seen people do it by hand or use the fender roller to do it.

Regardless, this debate does not belong here. If you truly feel +18 is aggressive, you are in the wrong thread.

This picture speaks volumes:

-7 is the offset of the wheel with the spacer installed on it.
Take the spacer off the wheel and the offset changes to +18. (It's a 25mm spacer: +18-25= -7).
That pic of that rear wheel without the spacer doesn't look like +18. I have +19 in the rear on my car and the wheels are not tucked in at all like the picture you posted. That pic looks like +25 if not more. Also, why does is look like there is 0 camber in that pic? The wheel looks straight up and down.

Here's a quick Blackberry pic of my +26 front 19x9.5 and +19 rear 19x10.5 (RH Evolution J5 Pro) with no spacers

EDIT: I probably should go snap a pic of my car the same angle for a better comparison.

^^Dudes plus 18 offset looks weak just because his car is super slammed and has a good bit of negative camber. Also the tires are smaller than most other 275's.

Yes and plus his quarters seem to be rolled and pulled pretty good. You can gain like 10mm of space on a pretty simple fender roll and pull. The more you roll it flat the more it pulls the fender out.
