Proper Setup to be Flush with Fender

[Todd15Fastback]

That's what I said in my first sentence.....

And I was also mainly referring to the 315 +30 setups. Poke poke poke.

Ahhhhh, gotcha

i run 10.5 et30 and its 2-4mm poke front and 4-6mm rear lowered on sportlines without alignment. use http://www.willtheyfit.com/ to determine how wide you can go. vossen TUCKS x12 et50 on air ride.

a 12" rim is not the key, it's what tire size are they running on it. Probably a tire that is too skinny given it's an "air ride" car. So let's say they stretch a 305 on the 12 then it's still a 305 +50 offset, which only sits 10mm out from stock, not aggressive, that would be actually what I would run (but not a 12" rim for no reason).

if they are running a 325 +50 then it's 20mm out from stock, which is still less than the 25mm spacer guys, but with negative camber and lowering on air ride, which typically causes even more camber the lower you get, I am sure that wheel folds sideways right into the wheel well just like a Transformer (although I never saw the movie).

What tire size are you running on the 10.5? A 305 +30 is going to push out 30mm from stock (wheel straight up and down) and these cars lowered without an alignment are typically what, -1.5 to -2.0 camber? That's a lot for a street car not to mention if you have no alignment your toe is probably jacked..... anyways, -1.5 camber and still poking.....

first off, im aware of how air ride and lowering affects camber. thanks for the lesson tho. if you want to get so technical, how about analyzing and calculating actual section width of tires between brands to achieve the "flush" look because a 305 is never the same across the board. the simple appearance of a car being "flush" has some to do with wheel and tire choice, but just as much to do with alignment. the final product is determined by how much you compromise on each to get the desired look.

as for me, ive already been flamed to death on here for being the first guy to attempt my wheels on my car with 255s for test fitment(which are stretched alot, too much for my taste to be honest), and i will be running 275s shortly with no issues. i see no point in throwing massive tires under a car that doesnt need them because you didnt setup the car properly(and even funnier when the same people worry about wheel weights). i have a car that runs 8s on a 275, and hooks on the street. so im always entertained when people say the need more tire because they have traction issues

yes my setup pokes a few mm, which is what i wanted. im at about 1.7* camber which is plenty fine by my standards, and the toe was fine when we checked it. clearly im not as hyper-analytical as most of these forum-tards, i know what fits, how i want my car to look, and what works for my needs, and thats all i give a shit about.

So, if I am reading this correctly, I could run 19x10, 48 offset with 275/40 19 tires on all four corners with no issues.

Does that sound correct?

My car is a DD, but want bigger tires that I can rotate.

Thanks!

You can, but they'll be tucked a bit. For a 10" wide wheel you should aim for 30-40mm offset to be flush.

no need to cry, this isn't a fight. i can't read your post when it starts off like I am arguing with you with, "First off....."

Uh oh, he's about to correct everything and save the world. Not reading anything emotionally charged, sorry.

Get off your high horse, bro.

I have a 2015 PP GT and recently ordered a set of Eibach Pro Kit Springs. Once that is complete I am looking for a wheel and tire setup that will sit flush with the fenders.

Not a fan of running spacers, so I am curious to get some feedback on what others have done to accomplish this width, offset wise.

Thanks

For the best fitment I recommend a custom set of Vossen Forged Wheels. Based on your feedback on how you will lower/use the car with our vehicle optimization program, we can get as flush to the fender as possible with various widths since we can custom engineer the wheels.

Otherwise some good suggestions in here in regards to fitment.

Wish we could see some pics with these wheel/tire setups.

If it makes you feel better to throw out a cliche then I hope you feel better. Do you?

Higgs, Could you post a couple pics of your car specifically wheels/tires? For a fellow Texan?

 

[Need4SpeedMotors]

Seems that I came in a bit late, anyway care to update me on whats going on here lol ?

I just have 20" Foundrys, lowered with Steeda linears in the back and BMR drag springs up front, and everything steeda makes all over and around the IRS along with Viking Crusaders..... rear alignment set to -.5 camber and 0 toe....

I can post a picture if you want but I haven't chosen my wheel and tire setup yet.....probably will be some Welds on a drag radial around 27-28 inches out back between 285 and 315 wide....

 

[sigintel]

My 20x11+45 with 305's running -1.5 camber doesn't poke out and is flush.

Thats on the front?
You run square same front rear or?
What are alignment settings all four corners?
