What, if any fender mods will I need for an 18x9.5 with a 265 35 18 tire.

 

^ why do people forget to mention the offset?

 

Is this your car? Looks very similar....

 

^Damn they do look similar!

 

I don't know why, I can't explain and I know better too. 18x9.5 +20 on a 265 35 18. It was one of those days yesterday sorry fellas.

 

If you pull, shave/hammer the rear tab, and remove the fender liner, it'll fit easily. But just to inform you there is another section just for this.

 

Should "pull, shave/hammer, remove liner" and "easily fit" really belong in the same sentence though?

I've always liked this FC though I can't see myself ever going that route with the 8 exactly...

 

I know of the other thread but you guys know better of what is needed to do to fit aggressive wheels. Would I just be better off with a 30 offset then?

 

^dude it took me like 40min to do all 4 sides, not hard at all.

I've seen that FC Before tilt it's badass: these two from RD are some of my favorite ones

 

My car would be that low in a heartbeat if my roads didn't completely suck ***.

 

Bose, how much fender work are you comfortable with doing? Keep in mind, there will be kinks that need sorted out if you go very aggressive (I don't recall what specs you were shooting for).

Truth be told it will take you much longer than 10 minutes per corner to get the work done unless you are capable of working faster than jesus himself.

Madmike's car before the kit, maybe ABP. I wish that guy wasn't standing in front of the rear wheel!

 

I'm sure their roads suck too

I'm down for a roll and a pull for sure, I have some friends who did it to their fd's so that's no issue, I can cut fender liner and what not. I'm looking at 18x9.5 +20 on 265 35's, maybe do 255's but don't want much more of a stretch than that.

Yah its my car and its the same car also

 

Quick post, because I'm going crazy trying to pick out a set of rims
I have Hancook 265/35 18 tires that will be here any day, Trying to pick a nice set of rims that will look flush but not stick out much if any. I'm considering:
RPF1 18x9.5 +45
5Zigen FN01R 18x9.5 +35 or +45
5Zigen ZR Proracer 18x9.5 +37
maybe 5Zigen Proracer GN +38 or +43
I think for looks I like the 5Zigen ZR, but they're kinda heavy and I don't know how good the fitment would be.
I'm posting in here because I don't know **** about wheels and I'm not going to pretend I do, thought I'd ask the guys that try all different kinds and sizes
I'm open to wheel suggestions too, I'm sure there's some great wheels out there that I haven't noticed yet, looking to spend between $1,000 and $1,500.

 

[QUOTE=07rx-8;3225654]Damn that's pretty sick. Hook it up with some cheap Nitto's? lol

[QUOTE=07rx-8;3225654]No wonder your car looks so familiar... I seen it on the back cover of a couple modified mag sponsored by nitto or something...

 

Yah i collected all those mags like 6 or 7 total but didn't check the new issues yet

 

^ oh ok now

 

LOL! As this point in time I have way too much respect for my car to be actually ripping the bumper off. I've got multiple places on my road that are WAY worse than that in the first couple miles towards town unfortunately. Gonna be moving to the city in < 1 yr though. No more country bumpkin style.
