I'm probably going to be picking up a set of Work VS-XX's tomorrow in gold. The fronts are 9 wide and the rears are 10. Not sure about the offset but I'd imagine in the 20's somewhere.

So how much modifications will it take for these to fit? I'm guessing rolled fenders and negative camber in the rear. Will the fronts work without any modifications?

also I should mention the tire specs as well

fronts: 225/45/18
rears: 245/40/18

are you dropped at all ?
offset has a big thing to do with fitting them ,
a 9" on the front should be okay with a fender roll , if the offset is 25 up
10 on the rear , alil wide , like i said all depends if you're car is dropped or not.
but on the rear , depending on offset , fender roll & pull maybe .
camber is your best friend when fitting wheels

^Not yet, but I will be dropped on coilovers when I put these wheels on for the summer. So the lower I go, the easier it is to fit a wider wheel? or is it the other way around

^yo diddy i think i got the exact same wheels as you. not sure about the offset #'s though since the sticker on the inside is worn out. but yeah these are so nice.

if you don't mind me asking what were your camber specs? and also where did you relocate your bumper tabs?

will 265/35/18 tires fit in the rear with rolled fenders?

gnuts

iTrader: (1)

265?! won't you need a serious stretch in the rear to fit a 10" wide rim? Diddy was running 225/40/18

azeezp13

iTrader: (4)

^yeah that's the thing. i don't wanna stretch the tire too much, what if my tire were to go flat, there's no rubber to protect the lip of my wheels it'd be destroyed so fast. plus the ride quality would be better. what's the widest anyone's gone for tire size in the rear?

gnuts

iTrader: (1)

if you're going with a wide rim like a 10" you're going to have to stretch tire, run camber and roll fenders and shave tabs, relocate bumper tabs. That's the game. I rub in the rear and i'm only running 18x8 +35 with no stretched tires, shaved tabs and rolled fenders.

I think someone has done a 10.5 rear.

Hmm tire size not rim width. The reason I'm asking is because the tires in the rear are actually 265/35/18 and the rubber is still fresh. These wheels I bought came off a GS-430, I guess that's why they're so big.

So does 265 stand any chance of fitting? Or should I just go with new rubber. If so, I'm wondering what's the largest tire width I should go on 10 wide wheels with rolled fenders.

Also shave tabs does that mean the lip of the fender that sticks inside the wheel well, like just cut that off so it's straight down? If that makes any sense lol

gnuts

iTrader: (1)

what are the offsets on the rims? More then likely you'll want the same tire size that diddy was running.

the lip in the wheel well....that's rolling your fenders. They roll that lip up against the inside of the wheel well. There is a bumper tab you'll have to shave down. Tires will rub that first. Or you might have to relocate it. PM diddy.

correct FWD staggered setup...

Blkout19

Can't wait to hellaflush my Cl , offsets wheels make regular ones look like trash

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

the difference with that rsx is that its clearly staggered like that for track usage. myself and others arent trying to gain anything. it purely for looks.

as for tire sizes i ran a 225/40 on my 10. that 265 aint going to work so dont waste your time. you can run 235 depending on the tire company. not all tires sizes fit the same. it varies with each company.

eneffex

school of form over function, I'm from the school of function over form, but like I said this is the correct fwd staggered setup aka reverse staggered

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

depending on what your trying accomplish.

update: I have a chance to swap my wheels for another set of VS-XX in 18x8 & 18x9. Should I do it?

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

thats only a question you can answer. its what you prefer.

azeezp13

iTrader: (4)

If I can run 9's in the rear without having to roll fenders and all that ish, I think I'd rather go with that setup.

gnuts

iTrader: (1)

You'll have to roll the rear fenders with that setup too, but they'll be easier to fit.

greddycl-s01

18x9, 18x10's...i say too much work to fit especially if your not quite sure that u wanna roll your fenders to begin with. go with the smaller set. from my experience im tired of rubbing in the rear. im lowered on tein ss about 2" and have 18x8.5 in the rear on a 225/40.

oh yeah and my fenders are rolled and shaved tabs.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

its not that hard i never rubbed.

nicroc

I wanna c 9 up front plz

Darnell Morris

Thanks to diddy info, it can be done.

I'm running a 18/9.75 all the way around,
215/40/18 rolled front n back + camber kits and u can pull it off

Ur best bet is to run a 215 anything bigger u might have problems

no prob.

[QUOTE=termo001;13851302]lol that cant be a real question.

camber just eats up your tires you really not must drive the car much or have lots of CA$$$H

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

toe is actually what eats your tires up. as long as you have correct toe. your fine. i have logged plenty of miles with camber.

At the end of te day you gotta pay to play, if your not willing to make adjustments and multiple trial and error fits that set up isn't for you.
