+33 offset.....

i am thinking of adding spacers to my current wheel setup (19X8 +48et/225's) up to make them more flush. was thinkin of going with a 15mm spacer to make it down to 33 offset. has anyone ran this low of an offset WITHOUT running out of spec camber. Im lowered to about 1 finger gaps all around on TIEN SS. im aware ill have to roll fenders and cut tabs, i just dont want to run negative camber b/c this is my daily driver and i dont want to be wearing down tires all the time. Oh and my tires are Falken 452's which have sort of a rounded shoulder design. Thanks in advance!

P.S. post pics if you are running fairly low offset on 8inch wides

I've ran a x9 with a 33 offset before and I had no problems with it. It will probably sit flush and camber wont ruin your tires. what ruins your tires is the amount of toe you have. If that is adjusted correctly you can run as much camber as you want. ( this only goes to a certain extent ).

that looks great man, so no rubbing issues at all with this setup after you rolled the fenders? also you didnt need to run any negative camber?

youll be fine esp if you run with same specs as above mentioned. as long as youre aware of tabs and fender rolling. p.s. fronts are gonna fit easier than rears and front fenders are gonna roll easier also... you may wanna consider staggered spacers and/or just dont forget theres work involved in this process( seems you got that figured out though so props)

oh i didnt mean you'll necessarily have to roll the fronts... they may fit, ive never tried the size you got. i meant its good you know that fender rolling is gonna be part of the process, and if you do have to do the fronts, they're easier. post pics when done !

i think it'd look better w/ 10's front and 15's rear honestly... wheels that push limits towards their fenders look better this way IMO, i dunno why exactly though...

doooo it
