NICE. That's some aggressive offset, but looks really nice. Does ur suspension come with ajustable pillow mount? If it does, you might want to dial in the front camber.

Nice but you bought the wrong offset.

If you try to change the alignment the tires will wear funny and the handlig will be off.

If you alignment is changed too much the wheels will look coock eyed. (crooked)

the offset is from ings. I guess ings just use them to get more dish.

i think just need to higher the car abit and change harder spring. now my car between the tyres and the car is only 1cm. so maybe a bit higher is ok. and when show lower down.

Thanks XDEEDUBBX. i was about that ask the same question also.

Smashed real soon?? what you mean unreal89??

sorry for going off topic, i have the same offset but different size wheels for my rear and im wondering if putting on 275/35/18 will rub the rear fender? cause right now i have 275/40/18 on the rear and it rubs like hell cause the side wall of the tires are too thick. anyways does 275/35/18 and 275/40/18 make a big difference? or should i just go 265/35/18? thanks

+1.

It looks like you have 0 camber up front, or close to it, just from eyeballing the pics. -1 degree will help handling, have little effect on tread wear and will diminish (probably not solve) the rubbing issue.

ELITE-RX8: What is the width of the front wheels??

Again, what is the wheel width with the +30 o/s??
