[RaiderKID]

[jrock824]

What offset did you get those in?

[louiebgt]

yes sir! I will be at the meet in July.Now That I actually have someMODs on my ride, I am stoked to go!

and for jrock824..... The offset is 30 i believe, but get this...they were actually going to order a 40 offset,turns out they ordered the wrong onesbut i am SO glad that they did! haha

[bravey_z12]

any side shot pics they r dammn good look wheelperfect match with ur ride

[desertdragon]

so, I guess you've decided not to use the center cap after all.

Looking good.

[louiebgt]

No side shots yet man. ive been meaningto go out to the beach or canyon to take some but dont have time.And ya no Center caps gives it that RAWlook!

BUT I NEED SOME ADVICE YALL!!!!!!!!!Thanks for the compliments I agree thatshe looks quite sexy, and I got lucky cuz the colors match...BUT the offset is a 30and unfortunately I've experienced someslight rubbing when I hit dips at fast speeds...so I thought about rolling myfenders a tiny bit, and doing so the right way will cost me a fortune. So I might check if i can switch the wheelfor a 40 offset and just get a 5 to 8 mlspacer. Any other suggestions fellas! Thanks!

what size of tires are you using?

[louiebgt]

what size of tires are you using?

245/45/18i know a bit meaty...but I think its too lateto switch the tires

does the rubbing happen at the front or rear?

I am using the exact size of tire as you and no rubbing at all.My wheels are 18x8 with 44 offset and 15MM spacers.

[Blackmobile]

he's only got a 30 offset which is why he's rubbin on the inside. i'd say get a set of spacers and that should eliminate the rubbing

The rubbing happens in the rear, ive only heard it on the right side though.Thats without any weight in the back on a dip on the freeway...

but if i get spacers the tires would stick out MORE wouldnt they?which will cause MORE rubbing!?

By the way, its rubbing the outter shoulder of the tire on theinside 'lip' of the fender...

do you even know what are you talking about? Adding spacers would make the tire stick out even more, hence more rubbing.

It is strange. My wheels offset is 44mm -15mm (spacer)=29mm offset, but mine does not rub.

Do you carry passenger on the back when it rubs?

First time it rubbed i just had one passenger in the front seat,and 2nd time no passengers. and since you have about a 29mm offset im just ONE freakin MM from clearance!!! so you can just imagine with 3 passengers and stuff in the trunk

Dont like to be a show off, but i agree with u 100% dude!! THANKS!

[desertdragon]

No, you got it backwards. Mine tires should stick out 1mm more that yours.In theory, you should have more clearance.

But the only difference is, I almost always drive by myself.

Really, your setup is not that aggressive.

Take dips slower man.

Take a look at Loops A/C. Advans with BC coilovers and he's doing fine
