Additionally, you don't run the 40mm offset on the 10" Sevas why would you GET MORE AGGRESSIVE than that NOW???

FTW! read up & measure...luckily I have my TSV family to help me improve upon their own set-ups...And what we know from my set-up can be passed on to the next "sickest whip"
I ordered my wheels, in a custom finish, sight unseen. I ran offsets based on Rodney's own wheels, not knowing what would happen when I threw them bad boys on...Everyone should go through the 3 months anxiously waiting to see the wheels you labored so hard over getting.
Appreciate that.
edit: it's not about not wanting people to follow...it's more of wanting people to go through the steps...learn a little something about your car...

shit cut me off too...
but as true fitted wheels come... the trick is to get them made to clear brakes... super low disk clearance = bigger lip... high disk clearance is self explanatory

On a side note, I don't understand why you would not want to share your offsets. This is a forum isn't it. I guess I try to help everyone out that I can. I am not bashing; Just my

I am not bashing; Just my I know, it's so hard to understand why someone wouldn't give out the offsets, all I can say is trial and error. No one is willing to go through the trouble or extra work it takes to make something fit...and we are only talking about a few mm's!

I am not bashing; Just my On one hand, maybe not such a big deal to some. Just throw out numbers.
But one the other hand, theres alot of talk on these forums as to what will/will not fit. Some people follow that as law. (like 8.5" wont fit a 2nd Gen, lol)
You gotta respect that some folks go outside the box to figure what WILL work themselves.
If you just start handing out #'s your basically doing the legwork for everyone else.
Jenn, nothing but props on the car.

just to add to what Lou stated above... It's also a liability thing... you grab these offset numbers displayed on your screen... pay your 3 to 5 thousand dollars on your wheels... wait your 2 to 4 months for them to arrive... then go to install them and you have to spend another $500 to $1000 to make them FIT and RIDE right... Who's fault is it??? Alot of poeple don't understand that it's NOT just the OFFSET... there alot more parameters to consider when getting a good fitment achieved...
not even gonna say how rod's rear looks...

I have to agree with the last two posts above.....its not rocket science, but if mamita does not want to share her answers for her hard work, you cant be MAD. Find out for yourself, be a MAN.....lol! jk

Well, I can fully respect that but I still don't agree. AZ to me is all about sharing info. And I have to add that I'm not interested in 20's at all nor do I want your offsets. I am truely satisfied with my set up.
Again, this is just my
Your car is fucking badass, though! I wish my girl rolled like you!

I guess I look at it a bit differently....
I was the second person to do the navi conversion here on the forum. 1st guy diappeared right after he did it (s/n trashcan). I spent tons of hours doing my own research on what was needed and what was not. Part #'s and such. After a successful install; I have answered all the questions as I get. Talked to other members on the phone if needed. I guess I was trying to help the next guy....

I agree Dan, to helping people out...
This information here also helped me when I ordered my rims:
http://www..com/forum/sho...7&postcount=11
This explains disk types (and ultimately what helped me clear the brake calipers in the front) I'll see If I can post some pictures so you can see what it looks like.
