here's our aggressive wheel thread. Mostly making it because I want some help figuring out how to get past a 17x8 wheel.

Basically if you've fit 235 tires on your GC or bigger post up pics i wanna see what everyone has done. I know most you guys run some kinda OEM substitute from another car (hehehe) but lets see some aggressive shit!

I'll post up my 17x8 235s in a bit. But i'd like to see bigger.


POST UP EVERY SPEC YOU CAN THINK OF THAT COULD EFFECT THE FITMENT
Camber
Suspension
Alignment
Spacers
Offsets
Width of wheels
tire sizes

GC's only (except for me, I can post my orange evo that I will get sometime in the future)

WEAK!!!!! you can go wider


come on u know that widebody is asking for some 275 or 295s.

heres mine:
sizing: 17x9 +45 Front(with WRX control arms)/+45(but with 8mm spacer, so +38) Rear with 255/40/17 Neovas
camber settings: -3.0F, -1.5R, 0 toe all around
suspension: Stance GR+ Pro with 12k/12 custom setup
rubbing: on FULL soft i get minimal rub when i hit a hard drip while cornering, on medium to full stiff(not recommended on the street at all), im rub-free
fender rolling: fronts are rolled, rears are rolled and pulled

ey vince, how do you think 17x9 +30's would fit all around? Judging by your setup i'm gonna guess it's a no go on stock fenders. but BUT what if i put on some fender flares?!?!? I really want to find some that fit my car or make some fit.

17x9 +30 would looks really good with some fender flares. im not sure +30 is low enough to fill the flares. you might even have to go down to +25 or so.

but a +38 will fit if you pulled the rear fenders.

if i didnt have WRX control arms in the front 17x9.5 +35 would fit, ive tried :)

never been much of a fan for the stretched tire look.

but be careful of ur bearings. 5x100 bearings arent as robust as the 5x114

Lets not turn this into a stretch debate. Some love it, some hate it and no matter what you say you will not change anyones mind on it.

Is the conversion to 5X114 a difficult/expensive one? I would love to do it to run some lower offsets but if it requires different control arms I don't know if I would want to do it. I love the functionality but don't like the way super pulled fenders look (makes the sheet metal look uber thin).

I have 17x8 +48 and 235s but I dont know if they are an aggresive wheel fitment compared to some of these. Ill take it down if its not aggresive enough.

Wheels: 17x8 +48 OZ Ultraleggeras
Tires: 235/40/17 Falken Azenis RT-615s
Camber settings: -0.25F, -1.1R, 0 toe all around (stock settings :( )
Suspension: KYB AGX w/ 5Zigen springs and washers in rear to elimnate ass sag (switching to SPTs, see below)
Rubbing: Im riding on full stiff (4/8) and I get a little rubbing on hard bumps in front (chewed up a little fenderlining), rears seem to get a very tiny bit on high speed bumps while cornering like exit ramps and such.
Fender Rolling: Fronts are stock and rears are cut/rolled
Notes: Switching to SPT springs to keep higher spring rate and increase ride height to eliminate some rubbing especially on the fronts so I can soften the dampening on my AGXs.
