I sort of tried that in the rear and it didn't go too well, so I just cut the inner lip and called it good, if you can pull it off more power to ya.
Predator- those should fit super easy no problem, I'm running a wheel that's the same width with a 10mm lower offset, you should have no problems with your galant due to all the custom body work you have done.

Not mad, I could care less what you say because Im doing what I want no matter what anyone says, I was just asking if anyones had anything like that before to get ideas for tire sizes. Also, I think that VW has too much poke, and the galant with the wheel sizing previoiusly stated did not poke that much, I test fit the wheels and saw where I would be at, untill you physically put them on your car and lower it off the jack and calculate it in your head than you can come talk to me about it, all this number calculating without looking at anything is just a general idea. I was also considering a ZG flare setup, which im sure you would hate on that too.
If youd like I will ask the guy politely to put test fit them again just to prove a point to you, untill than, im still on the lookout for wheels that "wont fit" my Galant

lol @ you thinking I'm pissed. I just didn't feel like typing a legit response. Why bother with an idiot like this:

Would you please explain to me what having flush wheels has to do with effecting the performance?
My 240 was "hellaflush" and drifted just fine, competed in a few autox's, had proper suspension with all the arms AND got mad bitches.
Functional LS1 drift car...
Functional Competition drift car...(the poke, I admit, is ridiculous, but just showing its still 100%functional)
HOLY SHIT WORLDS GONNA IMPLODE CARs DRIFTING WITH GOOD FITMENT!
My galant was solely a daily driver, I threw some HID's in it, did little dumb stuff like black housed headlights, and I hated driving it, no fun. I picked up a set of coilovers for it for CHEAP, and im slowly starting to enjoy the car more and more, My 240 was sold, im picking up a Miata shortly for autocross/drift use, I do things right, atleast in my eyes, and to me the "fitment" looks good, so thats what im going towards, I want to have a nice daily driver that turns heads, and thats whats happening.

i did all my calculating b4 i even bought the wheels. i did all my calculations off a set of 18x7.5 +45 racing harts. i even calculated rickys wheels for him too.
and i dont claim this to be dope at all. galant lines r great, but to truly pull the car off it needs a rear flare and radius.
this is my daily. no sacers, its all math
ur 8s will be fine. but it will look kind of dumb like my galant, too narrow to be cambered that much. 8s r great straight up. but cambered it looks funny. ud need to rock this same camber

oh and dont forget about how much youre gonna have to drop the car to sit it flush. look at this pic.
i basically had to drop it almost 3" to get it to this
to get that fit with 16s ur gonna have to go down another full inch. and where my car sits, it aint the greatest of ride. i hope youre gonna be able to find some custom spring rates.
i would luv to see it done though. i just think its gonna be a lot of work man
Thanks man! I'd love to do it if I had the money for new tires, spacers, and extended studs I'd do it, and the way the car is now my rear coils are maxed out but I can't go lower in the front due to my steelies having 70 series sidewalls so I cut my fender liners and wire tucked. So I'm ready to go much lower, and have no problem doing so.
As for springs between my friends there's a few sets of different rate coilover springs from our schassis, I could always scoop up a set for cheapski
Btw I loveee your daily, sexy, any more pics of that?

thanks
in order to go low in the front u need full coilovers or shortened bodied struts. i have mine dropped 3" and the struts bottom out very easily
Hi, I am new.This is my frist thread ...lol.
say hi to everybody.
order placed
Nobody built like u, u desighn ur self.
5spd swap
full custom body conversion
18x9 Works VS
Big 16g evo3T next project
On full coils:)
Some drifters stretch tires in order to spin them easier because it's much easier to break loose a smaller tire with a stretched sidewall that won't flex, and also much cheaper to afford/easier to find behind dealerships or tire shops for free.
And depending on the car some people do fitment without stretch to fit the maximum rubber under a car, ex: my 240 had 275s out back, no stretch, and sat flush to the fender after rolling a bit.
As for pics of the bitches I'll see if I can grab some of teh bitchez when I'm not posting from my iPhone.
