Beating a dead horse, but this is why you need toe rods. This is after dailying/drifting while lowered on stock suspension arms.

Truth.

This is just dailying and the occasional clutch kick on stock arms.

Haha the funny thing is the outsides of the tires would still pass inspection.

Say what its not what your expecting? Your response to my post doesnt make much sense when you relate the two together.

And i have driven on New Orleans roads.

Kinda does if you look at a typical street here and streets else where. If you live here and go out to another city/state every other road is as smooth as glass. I used to live in Dunedin, close to clearwater, so i know what to expect. A road that doesnt look like a bomb exploded under it.

ok i have an issue and instead of making a new thread i figured i could just bring it up on this one---i ordered xxr 006 in 17x9+20-but they are back order EVERYWHERE!so if i cant get any in the next week i might have to settle for the 962's which i really dont care for but they are the same size and in my same price range.

-my question-they have them in 17x9+35(35?! wtf) which was original size i was planning to get all around-but they also have 18x9.5+35 pretty cheap and was considering getting those on the backs. would i have any issues in doing this???i have stock fenders & brakes, no spacers, dropped on coilovers with adjustable RUCA's, toe arms, and tension rods

I don't think you will have a problem, I couldn't get 18x7+32 on my front with z brakes but your on stock brakes, so you should be good all around, because they fit my rear with z brakes and full sus arms.

also used to run 18x9+15, fit under them with 225/40/18s fine with some neg camber. yours will most likely fit under with no neg camber just a fender roll

thanks alot man! ima roll and flair them a little anyways im sure..im just really worried about the clearance on the front because of the larger offset...i dont know the minimal size of spacers i would need if i would at all..this guy on zilvia had the exact same setup im looking to get and his specs are on the bottom http://www.rimtuck.com/setup.php?id=798 he used some bigA spacers but i dont want it if i dont NEED to
