What's up Fanatics, this is the official: "Post Your [AGGRESSIVE SQUARE WHEEL SETUP] Thread." :excited:

Post up specs/discuss/contemplate your past/current/future square wheel setups with an aggressive width/offset/tire combo! :woot:

Rules: Variety is the spice of life, so to make this interesting,

POST A MAX OF THREE (3) IMAGES THEN YOU MAY POST ANOTHER MAX OF (3) IMAGES ONCE AFTER A FANATIC HAS POSTED HIS/HER IMAGE(S). :thumbup:

That way, we can keep the ball rolling on in this thread because I'm sure we have tons of pics to share! :rofl:

Thanks, waiting for your pics. Actually I've searched for 9-9/5, but when I saw this wheels my brain switched off :D I'll play a little bit with the camber in order to put top of the wheel as close as possible to the fender.

Finally I've got good pics ;) Ride it about 2hours today. Rears rub a little bit on a serious humps and hard turns. Ride comfort not much worse (presure 36psi). On Monday I'm going to change the camber, if it wouldn't help, I'll have to roll rear fenders, but not much.
Hope you like my setup.

I like the setup, but the reason you rarely rub is because you aren't lowered. The fitment is nice and once you add camber it will look even better.

so what that means is 20mm on each side of the front, and 25mm on each side of the back? making the 40mm and 50mm that the original poster stated right?
Yes, I got that from the guy a few posts up. Spacers are never referenced like that which is why I was confused.

yes, 10" all around. and yes, I'll lower it, coz I made mistake....tires are 45% not 40, that's why
they rub and car became higher, I've determinate it when I didn't scrap where usually do ;)
in general it looks sick people turning their necks whereever I pass by :D

borislunov... It looks a bit goofy at the moment. A good drop plus smaller tires will help turn it awesome :thumbup:

(This isn't directed to you but it did spawn off of my advice, it's geared more towards a lot of people trying to get into this ""hellaflush" "trend"" and don't know what they're doing, they just think running low offset wheels or throwing spacers on their car will magically make it look great)

The reason behind stretched tires/wheels poking past the fenders is to be able to run wider & lower offset wheels and still be LOW. If you don't plan on going low, there really is no point. If you're trying to do it with an 8" wide wheel it's just dumb, just get it as flush as possible because you don't NEED to stretch/poke to go low with an 8" wheel. And there's no performance-point in extremely stretched tires on a wider wheel that doesn't fit your car, it's simply for looking wide & low... Okay end rant :p

Bry you will need a good bit of work to may that fit. Camber and Fenders pulled and rolled maybe even Cut.

I have my wheels and they are 18 x 9.5 et 40 im gonna run 5mm spacers all around so et 35. and i need fenders rolled in the back. and a little camber up front. and thats with 255/35/18s all around.

so yea your set up could work. but be prepared to do the work it will take to get it to look good.

Gunmoto's set up in that pic is 18 x 9.5 et35 on 255/35/18s all around as well. His car is what inspired me to go the route im going.

im dropped on megan racing springs its about a 1.5 inch drop all around. a 265 might fit in the rear with the right roll. but im not sure about up front.... im pretty sure with the right amount of roll you might could get away with it. but idk. tight squeeze for sure.

I know the front bumper paint is off. It's rattle canned because I wasnt sure if I was going to like this bumper or not. Going to a paint shop next week!

19x9.5 +33 with 235/35/19 all around with 8mm spacers up front since the rims were touching the coilovers

This looks great! Very nice fitment. What coilovers are you running?
