18x10 +32, 18x12 +38. Gonna throw some 15mm spacers in the rear because i'm hitting the strut, so final product will be 18x12 +23. My goal is to do this with slight modifications to quarter panel (I.e. fender roll/pull, no custom fabricating) and natural camber.

Anyways on to pictures.





With a 9ish mm spacer (was using washers), I was ever so slightly hitting the strut. I'll need a 15 mm spacer to make it work. I'm gonna pull the fenders slightly more and wait for tires.

Going to be running 235/40/18's in the front and 265/35/18's in the rear. Time to get herrafrush.

Well, I don't think anyone's done a 12" wide wheel, and with a +23 offset!? Definitely crazy.

Mad props if you can do it.

like everyone said good luck with fitting those with out body work. It can be done but i think it will be mad poke. I know rodney and I have 11's with very low offsets maybe even negative offsets and custom work had to be done. But i cant wait to see the outcome of this project.

yeah... I think that the OP is being unrealistic, if he thinks that he is going to fit those rear wheels without custom bodywork. He's already experiencing the wheels hitting the rear struts. He's adding spacers to eliviate that issue but then is going to add camber to clear the fenders and in essence is bringing the wheel back closer to the strut.

Good luck...

Thanks to everyone telling me good luck. And rodney, where did I say I was going to add more camber? If for some reason I can't do it, then custom fender work will be required, but I'm not gonna add more camber.

I'm stubborn. I'm gonna try to prove you guys wrong!

Of course he knows what he's talking about and I'm comprehending every bit of it. 15mm spacer will clear the strut. I'm not gonna add camber. I'm hoping to compensate for the spacer by pulling my fenders a tad more.

I hoping to buy my spacers and tires either this week or next week, so I'll keep you guys posted.

FYI..... so you can estimate from there, when i had STOCK fenders on my 19x11+17 on 245/13/19 tires, and i had -7 degrees of camber in the rear. sooooooooo 12+23 yea..... natural camber yea that aint happening

edit - unelss you drive at 4x4 height

From test fitting in my garage, it looks very plausible. Hopefully with my tires, I'll get the stretch that I want. Thanks for you input sir . I'll keep it in mind.

245/13/19?

I know you mentioned "natural camber" but in my head I tried to makes sense of it and figured you would "ADD natural camber"... my fault...

I'll keep an eye on this thread... dope wheels...

Thank you sir! SSR Viennas. Your car, vipTL's and Decafe's car were my inspirations for this project.

Gonna look great. You said you put 9mm of washers on there and it hit so u were going to get 15mm, Im pretty sure they 12mm spacers if you are trying to find something in the middle

It's ok. I rather be safe than sorry and run a 15mm spacer. I never heard of 12mm spacers.

This is going to be a beast when done! Wheel choice and size is sick.

Most people on staggered/rolled fenders are on 19s, you'll be able to pull this off I just don't know if it'll be as easy as you predict.
