18x9.5 +30 F 18x9.5 +38 R

But in 9.5 they all concave the same, so mine look exactly the same as the +12 does.

I'll be running 255/35 toyo r888 or I might even step up to 265/35 A048. Depends, because keep in mind, I gotta keep my car dumped. It's my signature move.

Depends on the camber, and what Dmoney does to the fenders.

Why isn't it? -3 camber in the front just like you and completely rolled fenders, they should be super flush without a doubt.

Still not "proper" fitment for a subie...its 'agressive'.

I'm not saying our fitments are proper. THey look awsome, sit flush to the fender, and require work to make them fit. Proper fitment should essentially be a wheel/tire combination that needs no body modifications to fit w/out rubbing.

nope, "proper fitment" has nothing to do with body modifications.

it's more of a philosophy of running as wide a wheel and tire possible with proper fitment. Don't worry you'll see some proper fitment here in no time

Adam is part of the PFC and he modified the piss out of his fenders.

"Proper" is the way it should be.

Bill, what he is saying is right, though.

Your wheels as well as Macs and Daves are sick! But they do not optimise the whole fender area seeing as you could have ran a wider wheel/tire combo had you went with a slightly higher offset.

But I love your wheels!

You asked what needed to be done to get the GTR face. And we got it. The new 9" +29mm setups are sick as hell. Proper is more of a stab at the guys running +15mm and 235s

there are no "proper fitment" 18" advans with GTR Faces.

well, when i get the motor built, if I don't sell the car, I'm going to get a set of 18x9.5 +44 somthing or others and run 275s for the track.


Oh, and WOW dave's new wheels are sick as hell!
