Arrow **10.5** Front wheel test fit 2gen TSX...

Decided to test fit my rear 10.5 wheel up front, and the results are good with very minimum fender work. Remember this test fit is a 10.5 with a 275/30 tire all needed is to have stretch tire and like I said before just a minimum fender modification.

No tire stretch with current set up......

Hmm... How low are you as well and how would it be driving/full locking? Pretty sure when I tried my 9.5 +22 on the front of mine, they were pretty much sticking out like that too but I didn't lower it and see properly. I'll try again the next time I have to remove all my wheels. I think driving will be a real killer.

Working on it, but I also need to sell my current set up. No camber kit running in the front and running adjustable ball joints and been low have chances of joints hitting the upper strut tower, unless you modified the tower.

it gets to a point where it's sticking out too far, even with a little stretch, the extra inch doesn't do anything extra for the look. I thought you nailed the stance with your current setup though...

I thought I did but there's always room for improvement lol... Wheel sticking out sum yes "poke" were I will need to do a slight pull so I won't have to much poke and just try to make it very close to been flush with the body.

Well the grill paint is peeling , Headlights L/R are like stain and its the inside part and the dash has like three bubbled right above the radio screen. So dealer will be replacing all this by next week.

So, it's pretty safe to assume that the heeltoe setup with the 949 racing wheels 9.5" all the way around with like 255 or 245 tires all the way around will fit with no problems?

I want a wider rim/wheel not so much worried about rim diameter 17 is great, would only do 18 if I absolutely had to...

Well remember that the offset plays a big factor, You need to see total wheel specs .

949 racing doesn't list the 17" wheel anymore... scratch that...

O.K., please help me know what kind of an offset I would need to run a 17 or 18 x 9 or possibly 9.5 so I can roll 245 or 255 tire...?

If I could avoid fender work that would be fine. However, the place that's going to do the S/C or T/C tuning also does rolling and all of that, so if needed I would have them complete this task.

My front end is down only like 1" and 1.2" in the back, so it's not super aggressive. Camber/toe corrected in the back. Toe corrected in front, within factory spec for camber.
