5throw Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Just picked up a set of wagon specific swift springs, and have 18x8 rota p1's right now. Will the fenders need to be rolled at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 how wide are your tires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noswad Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I was running +45 offset 19x8 OZ Ultraleggeras with 225 tires. I removed the rear inner fender liner (rubber strip that jus pulls off with usually some road debris) and no rubbing problems at all. Front was fine as is. Dont know the offset of the P1's but if you go wider than 235 and more that +45 offset (ie + 38, 35) your likely to run into problems with the fenders. Hope that helps a lil Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac? -George Carlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KartRacerBoy Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I have an 05 LGT wagon on wagon Swifts. Neither my 18x8 +48 offset OZ Superleggeras (225 tires) nor my 17x8 +48 Rotas with 235 have a tire rub issue. No mods to fenderwells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteyjr Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I no longer have swifts on my wagon but I used to get a rub on the fronts with 225/45/18's but only when the suspension was fully compressed. Damn plastic wheel arch cover got ground down a bit. Fender lip also bent in but it wasn't noticable and I was able to rebend to normal. I gained 1/2 to 3/4" height with a change to Ions (miss the look of the swifts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noswad Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 (miss the look of the swifts) They def got the stance right for the wagon... 5throw- post up some pics when you got the time Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac? -George Carlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noswad Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 5throw- wagon looks sick. IMO getta front lip and that will really set it off. Jus be careful when pulling up to the cement parking blocks, some are higher than others and dont really like front lips.

5throw Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Yeah front lip is next on the list. I also just put on my stockers which I painted gold, just to change things up alittl ebit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteyjr Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Definitely be carefull of parking barriors with the swifts and a lip. I had quite a few interesting encounters . Lip is currently off my Leggy undergoing surgery and repair and a new paint job . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
