I will def pray for you. Which location? Just make sure they use a lot of that gel that make it nice and slick.

Sick Z is going to roll my fenders this weekend. Getting close can't wait.

in ground alignment racks are a must for us slammed guys. Luckily even though I live about a half hour away from chi town....I have to go the opposite way for about a 1/2 in Valparaiso, IN where they have one. The guy knows his **** too. I got lucky after trying 10 different alignment shops/racks in the course of 2 days.

So is it aggressive enough when you can't drive it?
Saturday. Fenders getting rolled.
Sunday Alignment.
Next weekend. Try spacers 10-20mm to see what works. I am thinking 10mm front 15mm rear.

1 block down the street I hand a handfull of rubber on the fender, letters where almost rubbed off



I think next weekend i will def be a true member
I think it'll rub hard. The idea is to run low offset and a skinny tire so that the rim pokes out but the tire is stretched into the fender.. but lets see how yours will look. You could always increase neg camber too.

I know, I just can't give up grip for the stretch but I love a flush fit. We will see how it comes out. i auto-x on these tires so i want grip but I want a nice tight fit on a rolled fender.

So you are saying a 15mm will be too much spacing for me?

yusoslo,

you should just by new wheels for aggressive offset and keep these for the auto-x. Its a win win situation.

15mm will be cutting it close.. you'll be running a +7 with a 275, I'm not saying I haven't seen setups like that, but if you are running the RE050A bridgestones, I doubt it.. RE050A tires are seriously like 10mm wider. Sick *** tire, grips great, but for your aggressive look it might rub. You'll definitely need a fender roll / pull. Allen331 On here is running a 275/35/19 RE050A RFT 19x10.5 +21 and he rubs on dips with a GF210 drop.. so go figure.

What I would've done since you want the aggressive look is go with a tire with rounded sidewalls versus square like the RE050As. Toyo T1-Rs are great for aggressive setups as well as falkens, but from my experience falkens run thin. So if you want a decent track / aggressive street setup, T1-Rs should work well for you. Some people complain of soft sidewalls on the T1-Rs, but I haven't felt that.. just increase the pressure to around 38psi, and you are good to go. Just my 2 cents

thanks, that what I had, Toyo R1's and they are still up front, but I got my RE50A RFT for free so I can't complain. my +22 is def undrivable on my eibach springs. Well I am not gonna pull, just roll the fenders, do a micrometer spec on the gap and go from there. In the future I will try to get free Toyo's or falkens.

Ya, but not with RE050As. They really are a wide tire.

^^^ Truth.

I had those 275/35 REO50's on 15 mm spacers strapped to a +23 10.5 SF Challenge (total offset +8)....with rolled fenders and it was rub....rub ...rub rub all gawt damn day long. The REO's are beefy on the sides.

On the 275/35 Dunlops on 20 MM spacers...yes I said 20MM spacers strapped to a +23 10.5 Work Meiser s1's? (Total offset +4) Quiet like a church...no rub.

I'm sure they're close to Toyo T1-R dimensions too.
You can be borderline aggressive and still have some meat back there. Only thing is you have to be on top of whoever is rolling those fenders. Sometimes rubbing and no rubbing is determined by that extra mm of pressure during a fender roll.
