LOL I posted up the actual offsets on IG... just the first image. But my specs are now effecting and Im sure as I had to run spacers to clear the calipers.


Today I went to a smaller 265/30 rear tire as the Mayruns ran wider than these new Nankang NS20's

^Sad to say but I much prefer the previous setup-these new ones look way too wide for my taste.

They are only a 1/4" more aggressive. I highly doubt you can truly see that in pictures. I just wanted my stance to be on point and to not be tucking when I air out. That is like being sunk. The only wheel to change size was the rears by a 1/2".

Anyone know if a 18x10 +20 to +30 offset w/ 235's would work on a first gen? Car is quite low on BC's (tucking 1/3 of the tire on factory wheels) and fenders will be rolled, -4 degrees camber.


I'd image it would be very similar to OKSTANCE's awesome setup on this page, but with a bit more wheel on the inside. Basically wondering how much inner clearance there would be between the spring/collar to the wheel .

you should be fine depending on the face of the wheels
i ran a 30 somthing offset on my 19x10 rays all around with no rubbing and -4 camber on 235/35 tires
barley cleared the tiny stock brakes but i only had to shave the rears and had the front fender liners til i got 18s
which my current setup is much more aggressive but not as wide as them

You probably won't have a problem but they will be kind of sunk looking in the 30et range in the rear.

The tires on the other hand could be an issue depending on the brand. My 235 fk453 barely stretch at all, and considerably less than my 245 FK452s did on the same wheel.


Where abouts in BC are you from?
