So flush = the wheel sticking out nearly an inch past the fender. I guess I don't understand the meaning of FLUSH then.

 

Here rynberg ill help you out then http://hellaflush.com/

 

Somebody should pull 'em off alright. Then flush 'em.

 

^^^Wha Whaa Whhaaaaaaa. Not funny

 

where is the photo taken? The houses along the side are so colourful~

 

actually omochi has 17x9 +35 ish or sumin with 245s and he just had to roll the front fenders cause too much tire
he still has fender liners and u look at it and u cant see anythign different, one of the tabs got caught and started to pull on it

his rears are SUPER sunk in
its depressing
+20 is a solid bet for 9 rears 255/40
and a +25 is solid bet for 9 fronts run a 235/40

u want more tire, lose 5 offset points for each size u wanna go up
hows that?

 

I have the same question except my question is on 18x8, 18x9 wheels.

Would a +25 front, +30 be fine for an FD?

Lets say 225/45 tires in the front and like 265/35 rear?

 

areu looking for flush or are u worried about hitting stuff?
if u hit stuff u smash it out the way

for an 8 wide wheel id go 235/40 and a 9 255/40

unless ur into fat wheels?
then i cant help u as i dont know what fits and clears
but i know what size tires fit on what size rims

tell us what u want and out of all of ur we can help you out homie

 

since i cant seem to find a edit button:

enough tire for you?



edit: well well why does the edit button only come on whe ni juts post... turkeys
oh well i love the smileys on this forum <3

 

Omochi has 17x9 +45 actually..

 

See, here's the way it works...

Drifters are typically immature teens who want a deep dish on their wheel instead of a properly fitting wheel, so they buy rims with very little positive offset. The added advantage is that wheels with very little positive offset are typically cheaper because they're made in high volume for psuedo-sports cars like Honda Civics.

Then, because they can't run a tire of proper width after slamming the suspension to the ground (because drifting isn't about having a properly functioning suspension), they run tires too narrow for the wheels so that they don't rub on the fenders. Well, that and because narrower tires are usually cheaper too.

Then they end up with a wheel where the entire lip is exposed so that if they hit a curb, it won't damage their cheap tires. It'll only chew up the more expensive rim.

 

Lol

 

Do you care about proper fitment and performance or do you just want your car to look like a lowrider like some of the pics in this thread?

Best performance/fitment would be 225/40 or 235/40 front, 255/35 or 265/35 rear with offsets in the +40 to +50 range. If you could get the right offsets (+43 to +50) you could run 18x9 all around with 255/35s and have the ability to rotate tires.

 

I care for both but i have seen people, even track guys have the perfect setup that i want.

Their wheel is flush with the fender so it gives the car a good stance.

I found a 9 inch rear with a perfect 50 offset. Can i fit a 275 tire on there with no problem? Like a 275/40?

 

immature teens...

umm wide wheels with low offset arent mass produced, they are all custom order
run of the mill rims as u say are actually your +40 offset rims in genaric wheels and sizes, hence why u can order your **** from tire rack

i have 215/45 tires on my 9 and have yet to damage anything
theres no reason u cant run this and not have a nice and clean lip all the time
only ppl who worry about curbing their wheels are those who cant drive and only know they have parked the car when they rub against the curb, hence damaging your rims

we have some really bad roads here and my rims dont have a scratch on them since i got them and i dailied my car for some timetil i took the car off the road to do a motor swap.

good try though, way to give it 100%

oh and a 9 with a +50 offset with a 275 wont fit for a 'proper stance'
if u mean its close to the lip
get a +35 with ur 275s
and if u want that clsoe fit with big tires u have to roll anyways

since omochis are +45 he needed another 20mm to get it to sit proper like with his larger tires

but hell get ur +50 and tell us how u like it
just givin u opinions here for what your asking

 

I run a +43 offset with 275s all around. No fitment problems here. Heck, I have enough wheel and room to fit 295's in the back.

+50 offsets would have been nice to find but those are virtually impossible to find for a 10" wheel.

 

Yeah i just want the wheel to fill up the wheel well better. Previously I had 18x9 +45 with 255/35 tires and it looked tacky from an angle. Didnt even fill up the wheel well.

So i figure with a +50 offset, i can get an extra 20mm of tire width, maybe that will fill out better than the other wheel i had?

My question really was can a 275 tire fit on a 9 inch wheel with no problems.

 

^ There are autocrossers who put 285's on a 8 inch wheel, but I would also say that is not optimal.

So the answer of your question depends on what you are trying to do.

If you're trying to get a clean fit, get a 9.5" or 10" wheel for 275's. Some 275 tires are spec'd to fit on 9" wheels, but it varies by manufacturer.

 

And morons from Canada. Sorry.

 

ummm... ur the one who fucked up in ur lil story
not me
what does canada have to do with anything?
to me thats disciminatory and if the ****** mods were any good at anything other than being closed minded, **** like that wouldnt fly cause it seems me having an opinion is cause enough for a warning to ban me

**** germany was even more acceptable to "opinions"

 

Did I miss something?

 

ummm... r u sure, dood?

for realz?!?

 

Honestly honestly. I just want my car to have a "mean" stance as you want to call it.

I could care less about performance cause lets say if i wanna go to the track, ill swap in my stockers for that.

I just want something nice looking for the street when i drive.

I just want something that fits flush with the fender. I dont want it drifiting style where the tire is literally 2mm away from scrapping but i have seen some guys here (ill try to search for pics) where the wheels look perfect yet they have no rubbing issues.

 

I can tell you that, if you want a "mean" stance, but still want a functional car, your offsets should be as I list, and I'll qualify these to say, i've ACTUALLY OWNED most of them:

FRONT:
8-8.5" width: +36 to +38, (WITH FENDER ROLL), 235 to 245 width.

9 to 9.5" width: +40 to +42, (WITH FENDER ROLL), 255 to 275 width

10 to 10.5" width: +48 to +50, (WITH FENDER ROLL), 285 width.

REAR:

9" width: +36 to +38, 255 width

9.5" width : +38 to +42, 255 to 275 width.

10" width: +42, 265 to 285 width

10.5" width: +43, (WITH FENDER ROLL), 285 to 295 width

11" width: +48, (WITH FENDER TRIM), 295 to 305 width (depending on brand)

Anything more agressive might look nice on a web page with your car sitting still, but if you're going to drive it and want it to work right and not look foolish, there are where you want to be. PARTICULARLY with the front of these cars, "fitting perfectly flush" and "not rubbing" IS NOT POSSIBLE the way it is on some other cars. Trust me, and trust others who've owned them for years and have tried.

 

i hink on the rear u should add 275 wthe 255 for 9 inch rim
