Wheel Fitment Thread

Anyone have pics of an 18 x 9 +35 setup?

Trying to get an idea as to how that would sit with a fairly aggressive drop.

18x9 +33 w/ 1/8" spacer in fr to clear the brakes

Do you have a shot from the F/R showing how far the wheels stick out?

What size tires are you running?

Derek, what's your fender-to-ground? Running any camber kits?

Funny, on Friday, when the alternator went, I was going to measure it while I was witing for the tow truck. I thought it would look weird, me in the middle of the road with a tape measure....lol

I actually have no idea. No camber kit(s) at the moment, I would say I am in the 24" range. I do plan on lowering about an inch all around, though.

I figured with the 18x9 +35 setup, I could get away with 225 40 18. Fenders are rolled/pulled, but I would probably get them pulled a bit more as well.

I do have a Wicked Tuning kit collecting dust that was for the rear, if/when necessary.

I guess I'll snag a pic.

Tires are 215/45-18 car should be 215/40-18, I was makin the speedo right. It was ~66mph indicated at ~60 actual (now 62@60). Also maybe opening up 1st gear for auto-x. Last track needed a shift AT each corner entry.

215....seems a little skinny for a 9" tire.

Have you had any issues with that?

 

[xci.ed6]

It is, a little bit! Tire shop might fit 205/40, which would be iffy!

No problems yet!

Nice, I am thinking I would go with 225 40, just to keep it reasonable given the road conditions up here at any time.

Appreciate the pics, thank you.

Finally got a chance to measure the ride height this morning....sitting at 24" all around.

Will be dropping that down to 23" all around, eventually, when the new setup is on there.
