I Need Help

Thadragon · 01-11-2015, 01:00 AM

I know it's not that very good of a wheel but I think it will do the job. I'll just use it for daily driving, and maybe get a better wheels when I go to track. Lol

Well, As long as you know what your getting.

Enjoy!

Your offsets are fine. I would run the 245 or 255 up front and 305 in the rear. You will need to run some camber in the front.

Merv · 01-11-2015, 09:33 AM

Ya,but how much camber can he run without it driving poorly. Rolling the fenders is an option. I guess it depends on what op's looking for

Thadragon · 01-11-2015, 09:50 AM

My car is lowered, is that gonna be an issue? Do I have to lift it a lil more?

I'll chime in...
I'm running ES1's same offsets and widths, and yes the front will poke A Lot.
I'm on Michelin PSS 245/40 and 285/35 and they do not look stretched (PSS are notoriously wider than others in identical sizes)

But with investing in some quality front upper arms and rear camber arms you will be able to dial in these numbers for camber:
Front -2.0
Rear: -1.8
With this set up and camber setting front to back looks almost flush to the fender.

And as for the pothole yes vars' are replicas for 1/4 of the price you get what you pay for. I daily my Z 140 miles round trip from the IE to the OC across some BS construction on the 15/91/55/22 and the 74 for fun on Friday and have hit a ton of potholes and haven had anything close to that link happen.

So in conclusion: DONT BE THAT F-ING POSER THAT PUTS CENTER CAPS OFF AMAZING WHEELS ON YOUR SH!t YOU BOUGHT ON A BUDGET.

Live your truth. Any questions?

Ther you go,someone with the same offsets and already dialed in. Can't get any easier than that!

OTW-boy did you do a fender roll on your set up?

Nope a little more negative camber solves everything.

Thadragon · 01-17-2015, 01:34 AM

Merv is absolutely correct no spacers needed with those offsets. And on the topic of milling down the wheel, I would strongly advise against it. It will compromise the integrity and potentially the ability of the wheel to sit flush when bolted on.

Also in your case with the varrs I don't think you will clear your sport calipers any way with milling.
