JustPaus_88TSi Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Nice.. Throw some pics up and list the offsets you went with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Say, Just paus, can you take a picture or just tell me how much space you've got between the spring or spring perch and the wheel/tire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I have 15mm from my inside tire sidewall to the coilover's adjustment perches on the front. I have roughly 24-26mm clearance from the inside tire sidewall to the coilover's adjustment perches in the rear. I've got about 5 or 6mm from the tire/rim lip to the inside fender lips that are rolled. No spring perches front or rear.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 so, what you're saying is that I will need 12" wide rims. I alwasy knew they'd fit. Nice, and the front can go up to at least 10". thanks for the info. Here's what I've come up with, and I was thinking this before too, but we: Can fit 19x12 with -5 offset in the back. it would be very tight. Might be able to go with 295/30/19.Can fit 19x10 with +5 offset in the front. also very tight. 265/35/19 might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's going to take some serious work to make fit, unless you don't plan to go very low at all.. 10's with a +5mm offset will extend 29mm further outward than my 8.5" fronts.. That's outside of the fender. If attempted, i'd try and get some 265/30's or even 255/30's.. 12's in the back with a -5mm offset just simply won't work at all, unless you don't tuck the tire and can make sure they never do under turning or even going over curbs while angled.. They'd stick out 21mm further than my 10.5's, again outside of the fenders. Might need 25 series tires and run massive camber like a VIP car.. With my rears, I wouldn't even be able to run 285's unless I went to a 25 series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcyone Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 since you bring up vip cars... who would I look up as a user name to see some SQs with massive onicam? just for Ss and Gs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Onicam? What? To date, this is the widest set i've ever heard of on a SQ.. Front: 18*11.5 265/45/ZR18 Rear: 18*13.5 285/45ZR18 The original thread didn't have the pics up anymore, but I have them on my other computers HD somewhere. The rims were Weds Kranze something or other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcyone Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 it's a street drifter VIP slang for negative camber.. didn't you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 LOL.. I'm afraid not.. "Street drifting"? That's probably why.. We've always tried to fight negative camber for the most part, so I don't think anyone's taken pictures of how much negative camber they could achieve.. I could probably get to 3 or 4* negative on my rears though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was loaded I'd buy cmaber plates just to neg it out for photos. negative camber looks cool. the starion racer dave got all the pics of has a good bit of negative camber.

JustPaus_88TSi Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Ok, I gotcha.. LOL Yeah, I know a couple of those types.. But mainly hang out with AzDrift.com guys, who go to actual events.. My rear camber plates were like $50 dude. :wink: Nothing special, no spherical bearing like my front Cusco plates..

Technology Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Your rears are 19x10.5 with a 22mm offset and a 25mm spacer for a grand total of -3mm offset. with 25mm of space on the inside and 5mm on the outside, that's over an inch of extra space. so, maybe 12" is pushing it, but you could get 11.5's in there.

JustPaus_88TSi Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Keep in mind, I didn't measure with the car jacked up and me under it or anything.. I used a straight edge and marked it the best that I could while being behind the tires and reaching up etc.. Plus, I never measured lock to lock clearance for the fronts.. The strut rods might interfere with wider rims with low offsets.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
