Ok so finally mounted these but i think i may run into a few headaches. i went with the 255/285 tire setup and that seems to be not helping me much in the rear as my rear wheels stick out 3/4" on each side. the fronts stick out like almost the same from what you can see in the pics. im hoping with some neg camber i will be ok already have a fender roll. but i dont want it to be crazy camber where u go through tires its a dd so that wont be practical. thinking maybe the 275 might help but i just got the 285 its a brand new tire. anyways heres some pics until i get some nice ones on a nice day. also thinkin of what skirts and rear lip would go good. thinkin amuse sides with vsv1 rear. will be dropping it an inch with coilovers soon.
wheels are 9.5/10.5 +12

UPDATED PICS ON PAGE 3

Def need a drop and at least -1.7 degrees of camber and it will look good

I think a 30-series tire would have looked way better on such an aggressive offset, but nice wheel choice!

Motormouth Apr 12, 2008 04:27 PM

why would you ever get such an aggressive (and expensive) wheel setup without atleast having springs first?

the car is not going to look right until it is lower, and the camber is set.

davidv Apr 12, 2008 04:34 PM

The tires throw mud and rocks at the side of the car but what the heck. It looks cool.

AVmagneticZ Apr 12, 2008 04:40 PM

i have springs just dont want to put them on im gonna just get coilovers

Motormouth Apr 12, 2008 04:45 PM

then stop posting here and get them :)

AVmagneticZ Apr 12, 2008 04:47 PM

lol im already thinkin of maybe trading these for some less offset rims i didnt know it was gonna be this crazy. spent alotta money though.

Dont worry so much, once it is lowered and you dial in some neg. camber it will be fine. Ive thought about spacers for my rear, but may just dial out some camber though... My fronts are right about dead on with the 3mm spacers.

Nice wheels though ;)

JUST THE GUY I WAS LOOKING FOR! i was searching to find u on the forums i forgot ur username! wanted to ask you about your specs and how you coped with the +12 you have much smaller tires then me though dont you?

Tsex On 19s Apr 12, 2008 05:46 PM

crazy offsets.. not sure if i like them, but hey, its ur car. Nice choice of wheels tho.

AVmagneticZ Apr 12, 2008 05:48 PM

not sure if i am happy with them yet either..gonna drop the car and see what happens. if not they will be up for trade/sale for some less offset but some ppl say itll be fine. so. best way to describe it right now is the rear looks like a muscle car with wide ass tires. like a 5.0 mustang or something

.STOP POSTING.

Lower the car and dial in some neg camber. Problem solved.

it isn't worth selling them, unless someone was going to order them and will pay pretty close to what you did (doubtful). just get the camber set and lower the car and you will be amazed at the difference. you might have goofy camber to some, but not ricer camber.

and I would honestly downsize the width on the tires. would look better stretched and tucked IMO.
