Is this considered flush? New wheels...

[cjldad]

So got a new set of wheels in.. 20x10 +35 front and 20x11 +50 rear...
The fronts sit flush and look great..
I'm running -1.3 camber on the rear. (I know I can add more camber, but I shouldn't have to add another degree to something I was told was going to sit flush already)
The rears look like this..

What tire size is that and what are you lowered on?

 

[cjldad]

Sorry, didn't think about it..
305/30/20 Michelin PS4S's lowered on Steeda ultralite linear with their 1/8" spacer. So a little less than an inch..

That's definitely poke.

 

[cjldad]

Should I have poke with a 11" +50 wheel and -1.3 camber though?

 

[BmacIL]

Is it the same left and right? I wouldn't expect that much.

 

[cjldad]

I have the sunbeams alignment kits on, so it's pretty much dead even on both sides.. :(

 

[Yawnn]

Yeah seems like it’s poking a bit out to me too. I guess you should look into lowering it a bit more and adding some camber. Flush would look something more like these;

 

[cjldad]

Yeah, I would consider those flush.. Any idea what camber they are running? Really upsetting to order custom cut and not have them fit as expected.. Sheesh..

Well they’re running Eibach Sportlines. Rear wheels are 20x11 with a 55mm offset. Tires are 315/35/20. It’s the look I’m planning to go for as well. I’m currently running the same setup as the white one but with 295 so I plan to go with 315’s next.

It's my opinion the offset on your wheels in not in fact +50 as ordered, or they are 11.5" wide w/ +50 offset, which would explain the outcome. I have seen numerous 11" rears w/ +50 offset and none have that much 'poke', seriously.

Well, I thought that as well and tried the fronts that are +35 10" wide... They were right at the same amount of poke. As they should be.. Within a couple MM for sure..

It's really odd.. Here is what my car looked like from the factory with 25mm spacers in the rear..
I feel like everyone was having good luck with the spacers on their cars but mine is still too wide.
Why does my car have such a fat ass?

Your running the same size and offset wheel as I am. I had my car aligned to the Perf Package camber specs and it's flush.

Should you have poke with so little camber and an aggressive offset wheel? Ya a little, considering the Michellins have a pretty beefy rim protector on the sidewall.

Honestly, if you go get a bit more camber it should look a bit better, since you have less rear camber than most.

 

[cjldad]

So the manufacture says they were cut to +45...
They are looking in to a place to get them cut to +50..
I know it's only 5mm, but +50 is already pushing it as it is..

Can I really just have 5mm more cut off and it be just fine? I figured the lug nut depth was all figured in everything when they are originally cut..
