Get the wheel, put it on the car and find out. I mean seriously what kind of question is that? No one can tell you exactly how much you need to pull. The fact is that it needs a pull, period. Once you put the wheel on you'll know exactly how much. I'm running 11's with a +33 and I only needed to roll the rear or shave and max out my camber are far as my lower arms will allow me.

Shave the rear fender all the way and run a 245/35, it will fit with no pull or 5mm pull. Make sure the car is low so you have enough camber. Put a 225/35 on the fronts and they will fit fine.

Ya I get that, but you still need to get the wheels first. You can't guess at how much you need to pull without having the wheels first to test it. You cant tell me you're going to pull the fenders first and paint the car and then assume if the wheels fit. Get the wheels, pull the fender, test fit. If the pull is not enough, repeat steps. Thats just the way it is.

i was checkin to see if someone else already did it with that same size wheel to see whats kind of work is involved it makes it alot easier. I dont know if uve ever done ur own (((DRIVEWAY))) alignments fender rolling and pulls trying getting a wheel 2 fit it is not fun process especially when ur static so me not wanting to have to go throught that process and guess work again i just ask a question thanks

Aight everyone just chill out. Bowflex you have to see it from yakuzas view, we get a lot of noobies with 4 posts total creating new threads asking the same questions that: A. Have already been asked in another thread, or B. A member already posteed those specs and could have been found on their build thread by using the search function.

You may have to estimate cause i doubt any one will have those exact specs but some one will be close and you should be able to figure out how much to pull by the pictures they posted. Good luck on the search, and remember to post your setup for other noobies to find.

I can appreciate that and no disrespect if you were offended by my last post, I was just saying it would make it easier by getting the wheels first. I come from having 3 S13's and I've gone through my stages of backyard rolling, nowadays I just leave it to the professionals, I got no patience for it anymore . But there are ways test fit the wheels without having to drive on them to see if they clear.
