Ron your ride is amazing. It keeps getting better and better and better. Nice work buddy. When you said that the show was cancelled was this the extreme auto fest for 10/02/10???
funny, i have +20 on a 9" wheel for my fronts, and i added a 5mm spacer. could almost use another 2 to 3mm. rears are 10.5 +25, and they are pretty much as flush as i want them. +20 would be awesome, but would require more work to fit. they look good at that offset though!
Geez did not know those were the offsets you were running. Wow +20 with spacers and +25. What size tires are on the wheels?

Same question I have. I put the 15mm spacers on the front and am poking slightly. Here are the pics. +32 w/15mm spacer = +17
Lower it more and the poking will go away. Mine was on point when we did it, but I'm a lot lower.
Also going with stretched tires would definitely help but that is something I have decided not to do. So for now I will just use the spacers when entering car shows. This has definitely helped in determining my next set of wheels, though
yea you will need to stretch the fronts when you go lower. I have some camber arms that will give you more negative camber to help those fit need them out of the garage so I can use the $$ for my new project

Running the proper tire size and lets says a 235/30 would be nice, along with a 275/25 would look great.
Not true...SOME manufacturers make 275/25/20. It seems to be a more rare size. Just google 275/25/20 and you'll see lots of hits.
Yep I was wrong, however it is a rare size and there is only and handful of companies that make it and it will be expensive. They don t make a 275/25-22 cause I was looking for that along with a 225/30-22 that only lexani makes and its been on back order for a year now! part of the reason I abandoned the whole 22 idea cause I can t get them to fit like I want, they were made at 8.5 and 9.5 so i couldn t get a tire to fit like I wanted to sit flush, Oh well!!!
Tires are the more important part of having wheels IMO. Some people go extra cheap on it... falken being almost the lowest. Yes, I am one of those but the next set will be Toyos or Nittos.
Nitto makes a 275/25/20 and from what I've heard from other users, its a quiet and grippy tire.
