Cool 18x10 Kinesis K58's on an FD

Im looking to buy this asap.

Still not 100% sure of the EXACT offset I need to get.

I want to do 285 tires, but Im worried about needing to roll the fenders? (What exactly does this mean? Anyone have a picture of non rolled vs rolled so I can see?, Is it a bad thing?)

If you sell these rims, quote me some prices.

Contact Wael (wael.eldasher@aya.yale.edu) of www.efini.net fame. He's got the lowest price Kinesis I've seen.

Rolling the fender lip means just that...if u go look at your fender, there's a lip that extends towards the wheel well. Rolling it means bending it in to increase clearance between tire and fender.

*You will want to run a +50 to +51 offset to be able to rotate all four wheels.

*You will need aftermarket coil-overs using 2-1/2 diameter springs to fit 18x10 up front.

*You will need a stiff suspension with upgraded sway bars to avoid rubbing in the front. You may still have to roll your fenders.

*Or you can just run 17x9 or 18x9 wheels at +45 to +50 offset with 255/40 17 or 255/35 18 tires and have no rubbing or fitment issues.

Or you can run go 9.5 x 17 all around with 45 to 50 offset with 38 to 40 mm pad heights and 255/40-17 tire size.

We've got some pretty incredible pricing on The cooper fitment for the club guys. WE done about 7 sets of this fitment already and Kinesis knows what we order.

Let me know what kind of pricing you got and I'll see what we can do for you.

I have a friend selling his wheels but don't think they are 58's. That would be a good deal though with tires and everything.
