After reading a bit more, it seems going 275/35 f and 275/40r wouuld more closely keep the stock diameter. Reducing the bump steer issue?

Any pictures floating arund of this setup. Having a hard time imagining what the offset would look like on the vehicle. Would prefer not to have to deal with spacers. Been loking at the Konig Milligram and the sizes offered are 18x9.5 and 18x10, both with +25 only.

 

That is my exact setup on 18x9.5 +15 enkei raijins.

or
275/35 & 275/40

 

Ah, I'm mobile so I couldn't see it in this app


You know I'm running the latter. Do it. You won't regret it

 

Pretty sure Ive had a million business conferences here, is this that whatever hotel on ulmerton? Got a pic of my car there somewhere on a hard drive after a promotion interview.

 

Not sure what road it's on. This was in homestead Florida

 

Zswickliffe, Thanks for the reference pictures. Great looking ride! Ever seen a redline with those on it?

So your running those tires on 18x9.5 +15 all around ya? Spacers in the rear? Or do they just naturally fit nice. I'm really looking at the Konig Milligrams($400 cheaper) and they are offered in 18x10 +25, which according to the calculater, would set them both closer to the struts/suspenion another 16mm(an issue front or rear with your tires?), and onboard from the fenders another 6mm. The setting from the fenders another 6mm doesn't bother me at all, I really don't want to roll the fenders. If i ever lower the car it wont be more than an inch.

 

Yes sir. No spacers whatsoever. I do have the rear fenders rolled a bit and I would like to throw a 10mm spacer on the rear for it to match the front. Mine is lowered 1.3" in the front, 1.1" in the rear (swift spec-r springs) and I really like the setup.

Not sure about how close my wheel is to suspension components. I can try to check it out next time I lift up the car. My fronts are very close to rubbing and under full compression I sometimes hear something scrape (not quite sure what yet lol). There's plenty of room in the back though.

 

Ya that would be cool if you'd check how close next time you have it up. I think I might just pay the extra and go pretty much with your set up when the time comes. I ran across those exact wheels on a redline like mine and it looks glorious! Very curious to know what is rubbing on the front. Your rears fenders are rolled, was that necccesary for this combo, or did you already have it done?

 

Oh yeah I forgot to tell you that I bought my wheels from the only guy I've ever seen with these wheels on a redline here on the forums. The fender rolling is necessary but it's really easy. Maybe 30 min and a little patience. I'm assuming I'm just rubbing on the fender liner because I don't see any wear on the wheel or fender but I will definitely investigate more soon.

 

Also running the latter (on 18x10.5 +15 square) and love it. Will be switching to 285/35 in the rear when these wear out though.

 

^I've done both of that setup before. Even 255f and 275r setup sucked.

I'm now on 275/35 18 on all sides. No difference was felt after I switched from 40 to 35 series at the rear. Best setup I've tried so far, in terms of car handling.

 

^^^ What's the width of your wheels?

 

I had them on my Rota wheels, 9.5. I'm still using the same setup on my new Work wheels, 10.5

 

So i picked the Enkei Raijins, 18x9.5 +15 n all 4's and I have 275/30 up front.... I have to say, I hate the front. They stick out a damn inch from the fenders. Did you adjust your camber when you lowered your and can you see a difference? I'm still at stock ride height.

 

As the car is lowered they will camber in. With your tire size they will require about -0.3 more front camber than the factory arms have to keep from rubbing.

 

Would that little of camber adjustment keep them from poking out like they currently do? I originally had no intention of lowering the car after this mod, just didn't feel the need to. And it seemed like a lot of money for just asthetics(says the guy who just dropped 2g's and wheels/tires for a street car).

Maybe aftermarket arms now and realign. What front alignment are you guys typically running. 90% street use. I guess all the pictures 0f +15 offsets I've seen on here didn't really show them sticking out, I wwas hoping for a flush, not hella flush fit lol.

I can snap a pic of the front if it helps illustrate what I'm seeing.
