Default I got new wheels need help with fitment...

So ive had my work rezax with some pretty curbed lips.
i decided to purchase new lips (which i did) but now im worried about fit ment.

after the wheels get the lips i think they would be 18*11.5 +7 all around. im sure the rears would fit with a roll but how the hell do i get the front to go.. roll and flare with the camber arms.. is that enough?

wheels were originally 18*9.5 +32 and 18*8.5 +32. i added 5 inch lips all around.

heres a pic of them after the lip.

Depends on what tires you have on and how much camber you are running.
I have +7 offset on the fronts and they sit flush with no rub.

camber and 245's in the front should work. youll need to replace tires quite frequently.

Use this link http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp and see what the difference is between your +7 offset and his +7. I will bet you really have no clue what your talking about.

Forget flaring the fenders. Make some new fenders.

Last sentence is hard to understand.
I was implying that there are multiple factors that would determine wheel fitment, not just offsets. My example is one that works.

He's trying to tell you that width and offset go hand and hand, and doubts that you have 11.5" +7.

Yup, as mentioned above. Lets say you have a 9.5 inch wide wheel +7 up front, run that thru the link i posted and see the difference. If you did this you would notice his wheel will extend 25mm more in each direction.

BTW crunching numbers off wheels i've tried. He will clear on the inside by about 5mm.

the wheels will be the same size.

the lips on the 9.5 are 3 inches +32
the lips on the 8.5 are 2 inches +32

now im removing the lips and adding 5 inch lips to all four
after doing the math i got 11.5 width and +7

wheels and offsets are confusing ahaha

You have 11.5" wide +7 wheels? It does matter.

A 245 tire is 9.6" wide, which is almost 2" more narrow than the wheel. Something is wrong here.
