car looks nice man, well done. whats all over your front fenders, vinyl wrap? and why do you think you "need" a wide body? I mean, hell if i could afford it I would too! but right now your car sits well and assuming your fenders are rolled/chopped you should be good to go! keep us posted

I'm gonna play devils advocate....

I like Battles, but they don't fit. Get rid of em, looks like *** sticking out like that, and it is so non-functional that I think baby-evo-jesus just **** a turbo.


Really though, you need a fully adjustable suspension to even consider those.

gotcha. cammo is bada$$ but looks a little out of place on your car (maybe jus bc its white) but still a nice car. how bad do you rub in the front and wat camber you running? once you get coils you can adjust a little more.

im running 265s but on 17s. but my car is slammed. I just had the rears chopped off. didnt want to mess with the rolling and end up still rubbing. cant even notice from the outside and is super clean. PLENTY of room. but since yours are already rolled Its gona be hard to cut em.

if you go widebody you'll need to get some 275s or bigger wheels to make it look beefy! or jus go straight super jdm tight hella flush style haha

Really is a worthless offset unless you do plan on running a widebody. If not I'd do some pulling of the rear fender and dial in atleast -2* of camber in the rear and probably about -3* in the front. +22 is about the most you can go on stock fenders with 265's. Evodave mod in the front will help for the front fenders...rear is just gonna need some serious work. Btw fmic is bit crooked

I have +22 on mine, and I wouldn't recommend even that. I have 245's, fenders rolled, unknown amount of camber, and they still rub lol.

Well for tracking +28 is about it on 9.5in. Usually a good roll and a decent amount of camber works fine. My 255's NT05's clear pretty easily with +28. +15 is like offsets for the X.

The wheels are too wide for the car. Makes it look like a 4-wheeler.

Put your other wheels back on, those arent going to work on the dyno at that low of ride height. It needs a widebody...but not much. We had 18x10.5 + 15 with very few fender mods on this car-







Front have the EvoDave fender mod is all, the rears were heavily rolled and re contoured.
