I have an oppertunity tomorrow to get some tenzo wheels. They are 18x8 +25 and the tire size is 235...I know the offset is low and tire size is to big so I am going to have to roll my fenders. My question is will I need coilovers or can I stay with the KYB AGX/Eibach or tein setup. I already ordered my AGX's so I am hoping these wheels fit. Thanks guys!
What's the height on the tires? You'll need to roll your tires and run some camber it should clear the agx up front if you get the proper aspect ratio on the tire
235/40/18 and how much camber do you think? I really dont feel like eating through tires like crazy
u will have to roll your rear fenders. i have 19x8.5 +48mm 235/35zr19 on coilovers. so for 18x8 +25mm 235/40r18 your wheels will have 29mm more clearance from the the suspension but will stick out 17mm more from the car. you should be fine on the suspension side. i had to roll/cut fenders w/ my setup because i am camber corrected (which pushes the tops of the tires out). getting 225/40r18 will give you a little more room for fender clearance as well.
I'm rocking 2.5 degrees of camber in the rear, without any appreciable tire wear.
As for the fenders, best with a heat gun, and a 4lb rubber mallet. Worked wonders on my fenders.
i will switch to 225 once those tires run out or right away if I can sell those tires. I will check them out tomorrow and if they look good and are not all scratched up I will probably get them. Any idea how much a shop would charge to roll fenders?
How much are you paying? Unless you're getting an amazing deal....I wouldn't bother trying
usually its $50 a fender to roll but it all depends on the shopQuote:

if similar, id say 18x8+32 and a 225 tyre, plus moderate lowering and a rear guard role
(i run 17x9+30)
damn tires are worth more than that.Quote:

The front will have a lot of poke but the back will be pretty nice.
I'd keep the tires and sell the wheels lol

That could be accommodated for by .5 degrees camber in the front.Quote:

.5 isn't anything that isn't already ordinary on every car on the road today. You'd barely notice .5 degrees. Either way, a 8" +25mm wheel won't poke much, trust me.Quote:

It is at most about 1" poked. But when a tire is on it it appears a lot less. Plus my fender and bumper are a little pushed in on that corner as you may be able to see.
And all that with just a .5 degree front camber. Running a 18x8 +25 even if it poked more (which it doesn't) you could run .75-1.00 degree camber and tuck all of it.
I will have to run camber out back...and probably front but not sure how much yet. I am still considering which springs to go with (eibach or tein) with KYB AGX's. I love on a half paved/half dirt road thats really shitty so I dont want to be too low.
