Whats up all.
Yeah no doubt, I am out of the country, when I get back soon I will have new wheels, (Getting Jonnys Works for now), a new fender pull and a few moar pictures. I will even get some pics of jonny's new fly BMW to post up lol. SWP you can run 18x9.5 38 very easily, you just have to run a for example 225/40 federal or falken 512 in some of the older rolling shots you will see that is what Jonny runs, he also ran I think 5mm spacers in the back because the rim would sometimes bang against the inside of the wheel well. I was running +35 with 5mm spacers on all 4 wheels for those pictures above.

i'm on 18x9.5 +30 with 235/40/18 and with 3 people total, the ride is NOT bad. (front rolled+slight pull, rears shaved)
i'm actually thinking of selling my set and running something a tad bit smaller on 225/40's... so if anyone wants a mint set of privat akzent wrapped in almost brand new ziex 912's... let me know :P |

^ yeah true, if your not trying to go super low you can run 235 or maybe 245 before it starts to look mexi flush, because of these damn stupid narrow bodies lol. Also depends on tire brand.
How did you pull your fenders clipse, I talked to BC and I am going to order a new set of coils that will let me drop more, basically trying to put this car 1 inch off the ground lol, gonna need to pull. |

I think you should hop over to 3gwrx n pick up the last set of 18x9.5 Rpf1s in sbc from the dezod motorsport group buy... They might be a little over your budget but they would look sexy!! Also idk if they will make other colors but the Xxr 530 coming soon would be on my list if I were u 2 |

ahhh you're getting the 'extreme low' BC's. **** they asked me if i wanted to get that version with the shorter spring but i opted for the normal BC BRs... now the bottom of my shock is almost sitting on my cv boot and im barely tucking tire on 235/40. should've got the extreme low bc coils when i had the chance sigh the guy who did my fenders (he's actually pretty famous here in socal and rolls everyones fenders, he did sosowrx's. AWDalbert here on nasioc), instead of just rolling the fender lip flat, heated up the fender so it was malleable and pulled them slightly more in the front where all the turning is done. very happy, i dont rub at ALL in the fronts even on full lock. rears... are another story edit: here's the post on my fender roll on his blog. http://awdfitted.blogspot.com/2011/0...sh-wheels.html you can see the slight pull on the fender where it meets the front bumper. |

I just wish I could find the exact wheel just more aggressive
If I bought the same wheel but in a 35 offset instead of 42 would that increase lip size and give me a more aggressive stance? Last edited by Gregor91; 11-20-2011 at 04:36 PM. |

CLIPSE,
I already have the BC extreme drop kit. I am talking to them about building something shorter for more low. If it is a whole set of coils and not components I will sell you those ^^^^, they have less than 400 miles on them lol. Also, when you rolled and pulled your fronts what did you do about your fender liners, they seem to want to fall out of my car as it is right now. SWP, Yeah true, if you have that same size rim with a different offset or even those wheels with spacers it will still most likely look sunk in at the top of the wheels and not have that same flush look as wider wheels. Just do what you want to do and feel like you need to do, stance your car, you won't regret it even when you are banging frame and shooting sparks from your exhaust like I do. |

lol might as well get xxr 527's at nearly half the cost pretty similar wheel, only things rota has goin for them is the better sizing (the xxr 527 in 18x9.75 +20 look fking absurd on our narrow body 08-10's) and the option for titanium chrome
rota t2r 18x9.5 +38 vs. xxr 527 18x8.5 +35/+20 you be the judge |
