Hello,

After drop i had fitment issue with my old rims (18x7.5 +42), so had to put my really OLD stock 17". Then in few weeks realized that car is "eating" front tires (rotated them with rears for now)



I need your help with selecting camber kit and what better to do asap?
Do I need to check alignment before buying kit?

Now about the wheels, due really bad roads here, i don't want to go more then 18". The question is, is it ok to put bigger wheels on the rear, like 8.5 and 7,5-8 on the front, since our cars are front drive.

I really like that rims:



They have them in:
18x7.5 5x114.3 43
18x7.5 5x114.3 48

18x8.5 5x114.3 35

Will they fit with rolled fenders? How it's better to roll finders? i passed one body shop and they quoted me 100 per side.

And one more question. Is it looks ok? Or rubber cracked?

get an alignment,

could be toe is off.

i have ingalls for the rears.

planning on getting ingalls for the front also since the neg camber look on the front is... not so appealing to me right now. lol

Heya! Can you be a little bit more specific? It's my first time doing any fitments, so trying to understand everything

with ingalls i will be able to fit 8.5 +35? jjashaa, as i remember you have 9 +35?

What about front? +43 or +48?

What does that means?

Should've gotten an alignment a couple weeks after you dropped your car. Most definitely toe is the problem with your tires.

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

you can fit those.

probably do a minor stretch and thats it.

mastini

iTrader: (6)

Thanks! What about front? +43 is better and should i try +48 and ingalls?

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

it'll fit.

mastini

iTrader: (6)

lol, what will fit? +48?

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

all.

give me exact specs you're looking for

mastini

iTrader: (6)

I think it will be quicker to send you links:

http://www.dmlwheels.com/m-classic.html

I still dunno, sport or classic.
classic doesn't have 7.5, but they have 8.5 +20, not sure if 8.5 is good idea in front.

What about tires?

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

you name the specs.

i'll tell you wat needs to be done.

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

or atleast help as much as i can.

mastini

iTrader: (6)

Okey:

M-Sport. Big lip option:
Front: 18x7.50 +43/48 (what u think will be better?)
Rear: 18x8.50 +35

M-Classic. Small lip option:
Or Front: 18x8.50 +20/32 (what u think will be better?)
Rear: 18x8.50 +32

I have no clue what tires specs will be better, so hope you will suggest something.

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

just do 18x8.5 +32 front and rear.

then get 225/40/18

if you get cheapo tires, they won't stretch.

You really should FORGET about wheel fitments first and get an alignment FIRST..

mastini

iTrader: (6)

i want to do all at one time, can i do it with bad tires?

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

you should.

do an alignment with your new tires.

fsttyms1

You should have done an alignment after lowering the car before destroying your tires.

mastini

iTrader: (6)

yaaya! I know! i was hoping to get new rims quickly but it took a while...

vw2tl

let us know which ones you go with and where ya order, looking at the classics myself..

mastini

iTrader: (6)

I have local guy who can get them for very good price, but can't reach him as of now.
ebay has pretty good prices too.

vw2tl

yeah , icant find the classics on ebay, been looking for awhile, lol damnit

mastini

iTrader: (6)

Did an alignment.

Any suggestions what should i buy as alignment kit?
I want to install them myself and then bring to garage to do alignment, so ball joint wont work. Or maybe you think it's better to buy balljoint for the front and ask them to install it?

Thanks!

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

Ingalls front and rear kit

contact our vendors for pricing.

i have the rear..

Did you end up getting these wheels? The sport or classic?

Somone in my area is selling M-Classic 19X8.5 +40 for $700. What type of mods would I need to do to make them fit? Will I have to run neg camber to make them fit?
