jah64 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Well. I have made a decision. Silver Volk GT-C's 18x8 with +48 offset, with 245-35-18 Falken GR Beta FK-451's. I am going to place the order on Saturday. But before I do I have a question. With the 245's should I go with a +50 offset. I am planning on doing pink's or swifts or... and I am wondering if I will be to close to the spring perch. Can 2mm really make a difference? Does anybody have any experience with this combo? I know different tire brands with the same size are well.. different sizes. Boxer2.5GT, I sent you an email, not sure if you have recieved it. If so, I would still love to hear your thoughts.

agctr Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Speak to our resident expert Keefe aka XenonK, he will give you all the low down information on setup etc. All the best with the new ride. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jah64 Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 Sure, No rush! Thanks. --Just heard from a reliable source that 245's won't fit with regular springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Yup that sounds about right too. More rubber = more rub... on stock setup but talk to XenonK and he will get u sorted. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostsr20 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 That size will fit on traditional springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxerGT2.5 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Didn't get the email. Try SteveISU16@hotmail.com You will be fine with that offset and a lowered car with 225/40/18 tires. OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxerGT2.5 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I don't have any with the car lowered at this time that are worth a darn...some crappy ones taken in my garage late at night. Here are the wheels on the car pre-lowered. OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
