Stumbled upon these 3pc Racing Hart C5's. Seems like a good deal to me.

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/pts/1469564902.html

Would 17x8 +35 in the rear sit nearly "flushed" with the fenders? I'm running about -2.7 camber in the rear.
Lowered on Tein SS coilovers.. I'm probably gonna have to roll my fenders to make it fit huh? On a side note, I rub a bit in the front when I make a full turn and I'm running 17x7 +40 right now so I know I'll need some fender work in the front for sure.

Fr. 17x7.5 +35
Rr. 17x8 +35


I know I won't be up to par with them guys from "hellaflush" with this particular setup but I just want some wheels that'll line up with the fenders. Anyone running this same type of setup?

you're probably gona be not exactly flush like the hellaflush guys, but you'll be close. i think those guys are running more negative offsets like +25, etc. your camber's gona change with these wheels cause of the offset. and yeah, you might wana get your fenders rolled + pulled.

wow and im thinking about running 18x9 +30 >< hahahha i think your front is just rubbing the upper A arm and not the fender much. unless there is some rubbing there. you can see it.

im 18x7.5, +38 all around lowered on omni coilovers

the front is lined up with the fender, but the back is a little tucked
i had to roll the fenders in the back and i relocated the bumper tab
i only rubbed on the plastic liner in the front
i thnk your x8 in the back will fill it out nicely

but imo, if youre gonna have all this fender work done, forget these and look for a wider setup :thumbup:

In what ways is my camber gonna change? More to the positive side?

While I was turning into a parking spot one day.. my friend from the outside told me that I was rubbing when I was turning into the spot. It's minor though.

if i remember correctly, the offset also affects the camber. is that right henry?
