    Granted its still just a test fit and i am not entirely sure if im comfortable with them... if weather permits i may try both of them on this weekend..
    Looks good

    I would recommend you dial in more negative rear camber, you can afford to run at least another -.5 to -.75 degree. It should help it tuck up more sufficiently. Are you planning to run fender flares, or no?

    How much fender pulling you think on the front to clear rubbing issues when at full lock?
    Yea, it should fit nice with a little more camber (plenty of room to do so). With or without flares too. Though as it sits they would be beautifully flush with the jdm flares, though I would do a complete rear fender pull.

    Yeah I couldn't agree more and as far as the wheels yeah they're the odd size of 18x9.75 with a 20 offset

    Yeah as well as more prone to damage if not careful...
    No, they should clear fine without flares and just more camber. Just was wondering if you had planned for flares or not ;)

    I have done a lot of extreme fitment on our cars. 19x10 +25 19x9.5 +25 & +40. 20x9.5 +37. Among others...

    How the heck do you do a rear fender pull, and still keep the same contours so that the rear fender flares lines up nicely. I guessyou know what I'm after lol

    i pulled my rear fenders no problem ill get some detailed pics later tonight... the fronts you have to be careful with, because if you go to aggressive you will create a gap between the fender and the door. i will also take pictures of that lol. learned the hard way

    I have pulled lots of those. Needed to be in Simi Valley (2.5hrs away for me) at 8am left shop at 4am to shower up change. Met up with the crew at 5am at gas station and drove away with truck and trailer (with race car on it), so hard to stay awake.

    well next thing i know im getting is a camber kit.. but im assuming the same size wheel would be to much for the front right? there are two options as far as something smaller what do you think would be best to go with....
    there is either a
    18x8.75 with a 20 offset
    or
    18x8.75 with a 35 offset

  16. #2956
    I would suggest 18x8.75 +35 with the same size tires.

    Although thinking about it, depending how much camber you want to run up front you could run the +20 offset wheels. How much camber or how aggressive do you want your wheels?

    I did that for MOD last year. I was literally installing my headliner and door panels at 12am, went to bed at 1am, woke up at 5am and headed out with the car on the trailer. Got a flat on the trailer near my uncles house in NJ, had to unload the G and leave it on the side of the road (a very difficult decision) and then go back for it a half hour later. Then drove the G the rest of the way to MOD
