i'm not going over the top, ive researched enough to make sure everything is correct, please correct me if i've messed something up with my setup, and if your referring to my style of setup this is my own opinion of what looks good to me, and you have your own and i respect that.

If you want to help then please give advice/help, don't come in and be sarcastic and judge right off the bat. I've seen your threads and stickys and you know a lot. Why not give some advice geez.

You say that you've seen that what you want will fit. Please show one place that says negative offsets fit.

If you ultimately think that with no amount of modications this won't work then please tell me as you're the expert, but if as you say in your threads that you refuse to help on projects that do not appeal to you, then just say so.
I'm here because i need advice not sarcasm.

lol what look are you going for? show me a picture please

Normal people would fit the wheels without spacers first to see if they actually need spacers, and if they did "need" spacers, they would measure how big of spacers they need.

My only request is that you post up pictures of your setup and allow me to show everyone else how not to do it.

At those measurements (25mm and 30mm), I'd just buy some Ichiba V2 spacers with the built in studs and hub lip.

Your life will be a million times easier.

I agree with J8635621 to a point, but do what you want to do. Just be prepared!

I went off and bought wheels and spacers, then had the stud problem, then had fender problems, then had to stiffen my suspension, and yada yada...

I could have just gotten the wheels in +15 offset instead of +25 and adding spacers and just dealt with a lot of fender issues only lol

Tires will be a big factor as well. You may want to go with a stretch to fit, but then there's guys like tiltmode43 that manage with square tires.

There's a guy in Montreal running 9.5 -10 in front... Doesn't look so hot though.

He is asking for the equivalent of 305s (ish) on your wheels in the back.

245's lol

I have NO IDEA how tilt manages 265s or 275s on 11.5 +27. In my situation, I'd have no more rear fender.

OH WOW that is bad, how do he do that to an rx8 that looks so horrible, ugh and the exhaust shroud and front lip, ugh just put it out of its misery.

But yeah im probably gonna get all my stuff put on and lowered and rolled and such and see what the overall look is gonna be and then decide on spacers or not.
With that being said,
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ARP-100-7708/ is the extended ARP Studs for people with spacers, but what model would be stock sized for people without spacers?
the only other one with similair sizes from ARP are these
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ARP-100-7713/
or does ARP not sell standard size? :S
I got quoted for $50 per tire for full stud replacement when i supply the studs. seems reasonable. my studs are god-aweful. but im just trying to figure out which studs to use now that im not gonna get spacers right off the bat.

Good luck getting them to stick to that price when they see the work involved in the rear.
