i have a set of xxr 962's +35, (i will be replacing them when i get some extra cash) i dont have any experience in the suspension department, but i want the car to have a nice stance. i still need to buy spacers, extended studs, front fenders and a few other things. i want to make sure i don't order the wrong parts and waste $ i dont have.

Here is what suspension parts i have on the car :

XXR 962 - Front 18x8.5 - 235/40 +35
Rear 18x9.5 - 255/35 +35

BC Racing BR Type Coilovers

Adjustable Suspension Parts
-Front & Rear Control Arms
-RUCA
-Tension Rods
-Traction Rods
-Toe Arm
i think the sway bars are the only stock suspension on the car


i need 10mm spacers on the front to clear the coilovers. should i put the same size spacers on the rear to even them out? or should i go bigger/smaller on the rear?
(spacers i have available are a set of 3mm, 5mm, 25mm)

my front fenders need to be replaced, and im going with the origin streamline bodykit, i can get a set of origin 20mm over fenders cheaper then stock fenders. if i go with front overs only, would that make the rear look sunken in? or do you have to go with rear overs as well to make it look normal?

if i go with stock fenders, would a roll and pull be enough so the tires sit flush?

i know the car needs to be lowered, but the greddy ti-c catback has only 1" of clearance at the resinator. i have to weld up some new hangers before i go any lower.

should the camber be -3F/-2R?

anything im overlooking or any tips at all would be helpful.

these pics i have 8mm spacers on the front and no spacers in the rear. just did this to pull it out of the garage. with 8mm spacers the tire was just barely rubbing

there really is no evening out the front and rear wheels. the front is always wider unless you go over fenders in rear. those sizes should fit fine under the stock metal. def need a roll and a small pull. go to www.rimtuck.com those offsets are alittle high tho for running sizes like that.

ok thanks man. that actually cleared up alot. rimtuck helped.

i'll buy stock fenders and go with a 10mm on the front, i should be alright with 5mm on the rear.

when i bought these wheels i loved the flat back red lip look, im not a big fan of them on the car tho.

i do my own powdercoating work, any suggestions on color change? car is staying black.

sweet! glad i could help!

color.... do what you want too. good thing your powder coating them, imo i hate black wheels. they look like steelies when driving. bright colors and obnoxious colors look girly,funny,wannabe drifter,honda owner etc etc cant go wrong with white even with the red stripe.
