dont get me wrong, the z's are killing the fitment game right now. buuuut.

its to the point where all you need, is flush fitment on any car and any rim/tire setup to be "cool"...cause flush is cool, but to me, badass cars are cool, not flushed out altimas...

aggressive fitment wasnt labeled flush/aggressive fitment when it was created, it was having a badass car with a mean stance. its watered down now to the point where taste/style/look/quality is out the window in favor of stance...

im sorry but some of the cars lately and a couple z's in this thread are hideous..but allowed a "pass" cause theyre on stretched tires and "flush" fitment, ill grade on fitment but a z on knockoffs/ stance coils with a lip is still wack...

people buying 101 stance books and it says..

coilovers/wheels/small tires and lip and your good, 40,000 illest stickers are good too lol..

sorry for the rant...the eurolines look great! nice picture.

Glad i could be of help..

Honestly almost any shop could do it, it is just the fact that it is insane to put such a small tire on such a big rim, that is what almost every shop will say. Untill you tell them to do it and see if for themselves. lol. Some will just say no.

And no you should'nt have any trouble. That is the same exhaust "Tire" size i am running on my 18x12-5.

I see where you are coming from and you say this because you know what you are doing, you are not asking all the time little questions that have been answered countless of time in this thread. People are coming with new sets thinking they know what are the ups and downs of this style and at the end don't know anything and end up messing up and asking questions. I am not bashing on anyone on here but go couple pages back and you will see what i am trying to say.

I agree with you...very well said...

That is the same fluid my shop i have uses it to mount my tires. The 265/35 specially Nankangs did not get to mount all the way out to where the tire is right against the rim so i just left it with one inch off from the edge of the rim's lip and i put them on, roll with them down the street. Stopped 5 minutes after and it was dead on the lip after that.. lol that is how it is done sometimes... little things bro you gotta learn here and there ahah. hope that helps

I have 19" x 9.5 (front) / 19" x 10.5 (rear) with +12 offsett all around. Dropped on Tokiko d-spec shocks + Tanabe GF210 springs.

Tires: 255/35/19 (front) and 275/35/19 (rear)

Apparently the aggressive offset and 1" drop from tanabe springs are too low and causing rubbing issue, eating up fenders/tires!!

Coilover + camber kits should resolve this issue?? Any other way around it w/o getting expensive coilover + camber kits??

Thanks!

You shouldnt be having any issue with that offset and gf210 are a VERY mild drop...are your fenders rolled? That should be all you need. I ran that setup with natural camber and a mild fender roll without issue.

The shop used that on my tire, no luck...although I can tell they weren't trying very hard to help me out. Im determined to get these on and prove to all the locals it's possible. The scene in Michigan is weak and noone does anything out of the ordinary. :/

for a 12 wide Id run a min. of 275/35....I think somewhere you said you were trying to fit a 265??i maybe wrong tho, or for a badass set up 295/30 what what!!

you guys know whats funny, is if you go to thru the first 1-15 pages of this thread people were hating on it...now the same people that were hating on it are into it now, I think most follow the masses just like street racing then drifting now hella flush,I wonder whats next??not much left now lol, I think the set up looks great but as another member said it seems to be getting watered down : (

I didn't need the cheetah for my wheels, i saw that if you cover the valve stem with the inside of the tire it will catch the air trying to go in as long as the beads are lubed and sealed correctly, my tires took 10 minutes tops for my rears and im running a 265/35 on a 18x12 -20

that's not even that bad. I hate when people don't try and help you correctly. Is there a discount tire in the area?

Yes yes yes yes yes! You put it much better than i could have. I hate when people go crazy over a shitty car just because it has an insane stance.

Hrm. I dunno if any of those knocks were made at me but I will say my part. I do what I want for my vehicle. I did research for my wheels and I was a few mm off on what my measurements should be due lack of consideration for the amount the wheel would travel toward the midline of the vehicle when the springs depress. I don't want the same setup as anyone else or the common 10 or 10.5 negative offset wheels that people are doing. I had wheels modified to my best knowledge and capabilities. I have gone through a lot of extra work on my vehicle to make sure that it was something that no one else has. I have contacted several companies that have produced the parts and worked with them to get items that no one else has or hasn't been done. I never claimed to be a wheel, tire or suspension guru. In fact, I have asked many times several questions on what would work/ fit. With much *suprise* all people get is smart a$% answers on the boards. If people see vehicles that they like and ask the opinions of people with " respected " vehicles and are trying to do their own swerve on a trend why knock it? I rock 3 spoke wheels, I had them customized for my application, I will need more tire on the ground when my engine swap gets done. I not a fan boi of the trends that everyone else does. But then again, it's not like I got cheap wheels and spacers and tried to claim to be swang n bang.

My rant. Sorry if you guys think it's not deserved.

Yea, they turned me away for safety reasons. Auto europe "lotus elise" dealer tried on their cheetah enabled machine with no luck, though the guy flat out said he never stretched more than a 245 on a 10 inch rim. Its frustrating having to keep explaining to these people what I want done...ill keep at it tomorow and hopefully find a place.

Thanks for the input. It's still like that after I've gotten the fenders rolled. I can barely fit my index finger between the fender and tire. I only have this issue in the front.. Rears are perfectly fine. Would running 245's in the front resolve this issue? I've even thought about getting another set of springs with less drop range but thought all springs will eventually sag and cause same rubbing issue again. Is getting coilover + camber kits for sure get rid of issue? Any other way to resolve this?? Can you think of any other reason why it's rubbing and low like that in the front??

Thanks!!

Beading on a steplip is a *****. There's two cheetahs. There's a big one and a little one. The little one won't work you need the big one, and a good tire shop. Try a whel shop that monts a lot of retarded big wheels. They usually can get it done.

not being able to fit your finger between your fender and tire is what this thread is all about. rubbing just means you're doing it right.

but seriously, yes, 245's would at least decrease rubbing issues, but i can't say it would completely eliminate them.

getting some coilovers, camber arms, 10-15mm spacers all around, and 235/35f, 255/35r would definitely make it more awesome though
