I made it work.







-2.4* camber front
-2.6* camber rear

Rolling rears tomorrow to see if that eliminates rubbing... right now it's undriveable over small bumps... if rolling doesn't work then we're pulling.

 

fitment looks perfect, now just drop it another 2". it'll look badass

 

Can we get some pics from farther away, and of the whole car?

 

That's the plan...

S-techs just don't cut it... I've never liked them... they're softer than stock... blah.

Looking into coil-overs in the next couple of months... I'll probably need tires first though.

 

looks sick man, get some pics of the whole car

 

thats a lot of stretch on those tyres

 

Lol... ?

 

agree with pics of the whole car

 

sweet!!! they're 5zigen's right?

 

yup.

 

5Zigen fn01r-C 18x9.5 +35 with a 15MM Ichiba spacer...

I will post more pics when I take them tomorrow.

Rolled rears and that got rid of the major rubbing... rubs a bit on the front corner of the plastic cover that attaches to the rear bumper (where the bumper and fender meet... the little corner there)... eventually it will wear through it and I'll be good... front rubs on rear of fender liner at 80%-100% turn either direction... will be eliminated by removing and modifying liners...

Once I get coilovers with stiffer springs and struts I will definitely have nothing to worry about with this setup... also the Z1 runs really wide... I'm going to be switching to either Goodyear Eagle GT or Dunlop Sport Signatures for these wheels pretty soon here (Z1s are at 3/32 and will need to be changed within the next 1000 miles or so, especially with the aggressive camber I'm running).

I am very pleased with the results. Can't wait for my new wheel setup!!!

18x10 +35

 

That's hardly any stretch...

This is nice stretch: 235/40R18 on an 18x9.5 +35



and THIS is a lot of stretch: 255/35R18 on an 11.5


Or... 225/40R18 on a 10 and 265/35R18 on a 12

 

take a pic of the whole car

 

Ok ok I took some nice pics a little while ago...


.....ok done uploading, here you go:

 

nice and flush!

 

I have decided that I'm never going to track my car (at least not any time soon)... so I've gone back to stretch... pics later.

 

what's the point of stretching tires...is there an advantage?

 

stiffer sidewalls

 

wheels look sick man! I plan on getting the same ones as you pretty soon, but I'm keeping it at +35 offset.

 

i want same wheel in 17x10 +25

 

wow,

great looking wheels. great tires. great looking car. but you ruined it with a stretch? i dont get it..

if you dont plan to track. why the really good tires. i guess i dont get the stretch thing. yo yo out.

beers

 

nice shinka

 

werd up.. peace, love , and apple juice!

im getting 615 falkens and i never track 255 on 9.5 though...

 

Why not just get the +40ish offsets and have them perfect...with no BS

I don't get trying to make the wrong offset fit with the wrong tire size is a good thing

Maybe I'm too old and practical

 

^ +1 It doesn't look good, it just looks like they don't fit. Take off the spacers and put a correctly fitting 265 width tire on there. Leave the tire stretching and improper offsets to the VW crowd.
