IX MR dropped with 18 x 9.5's
 
Other than it being dirty (thats life in the NW, wash it and then it rains 5 minutes later) here is my IX MR after the full H&R treatment, 18x9.5 Stern ST-1's and Toyo Proxes 275-35-18's.

Rubbing is only at full lock. Total effective drop is ALOT. I think its about 2" or so, but I forgot to take measurements before hand. After the fender roll/pull there is LOTS of space in the back. Even at 1.5* camber there is about 5/8's of an inch or so of space to the fender (they were yoinked ALOT). Wheel offset is 25 mm in front and 35mm in rear to clear calipers. Front camber is 1.2*

Look's pretty mean man. Wish your car was a cleaner though, would give me a better idea :p :beer: . Hey man, your running 275's on that thing ? That's frickin crazy! Hahaha. Get us some pics from behind with the tires showing.

JohnBradley Mar 17, 2006 08:51 PM

Its not from behind but it helps give an idea how much tire is under the car:

This is from day before it was dropped.

Looking good man, btw what rims are those?

mr2lover55 Mar 17, 2006 08:53 PM

Looks good, reminds me of my old 18x9.5 fno1rc's. That's a lot of tire under there.

suave! you need wider fenders.

JohnBradley Mar 17, 2006 08:57 PM

Yeah I am gonna put some 10mm Seibons on it I think. Its hard to tell from these pics, but at the camber I have in the front only a small part of the sidewall sticks out at the top of the fender (less than 10mm I am sure). It is on the to do list though.

Do you like how the wheels stick out in the front? It would look better with a wheel and tire combo that was flush with the fenders. And if performance is your motive, that would also be optimal with a tire/rim that is not as wide. Keep in mind that tires weight a lot (even with lightweight wheels).
