to get them hella flush, you'll need about a 35mm spacer, flush........ you'll need about a 25mm spacer

well admiting is the first step to fixing the problem. lol jk but if u lower the car and use spacers u will have to roll your fenders however if u dont u can slam the car without rubbing at all i had these wheels at one pint with the 20 x 10 in the rear fit fine as for spacers ichiba is probably the best set of spacers u can get u can usually fine someone who sells them on ebay hope this helps

you can test it and see if it rubs then decide if you need to roll the fenders. mine didnt and i had 20s with a 3.5" drop. and if you need coilovers or want some im selling mine and they are still very new. i just sold my car rather unexpectedly and took them off.

it has nothign to do with the drop, and the size of the rims, it has to do with the offset of rims. my offset is lower than that, and if i were to run 0 camber, and actually do an allingment after lowering it almost 4" then i would rub like no tomorrow.


put them on, lower the car, and you'll be fine.
to run hellaflush is nice, yes, i admit that, but pointless, unless your on air.

for hte size of tire you'll need to get that to run hellaflush, would be really small, and cause your exhaust to be really low off the ground, just like mine

Hey thanks. I am thinking of nixing the idea of hella flush anywhys, I hear you go through tires really fast. So I will most likly just drop it on the srings i'm getting and keep the natrual camber. I might get some small spacers, depending on how sunk it looks. I like those wheel but I don't like the gold to much. My car is white and silver so I don't think it will look great on it. I would like to paint the centers white so something they have the same wheel in gloss black that I'm looking at to. IDK at this point it will be a bit before I get any wheels I have alot more to do before that.
