+35 wont even be close to being flush. You'd still need at least +25 spacers in the rear for flush. Front's will need +10 spacers for flush. I have 17x8 +35 and they weren't even close to flush. Even the 15mm Ichiba spacers I had in the rear didn't make it quite flush. BTW, not to be an ass but starting with +42 will be an even worse start.

I suppose everyone else has a different opinion though, clearly. Bonzaicelica has the same motegi ff7's and better camera angles which show the fitment. But like I said, everyone has a different opinion. |

QUOTE (babi_boi @ Dec 12, 2011 - 11:19 AM) I posted a picture on the first page of this thread of some volks wheels. If you copy and past the link I am about to post, It should take you to the page the volk wheels are on. The wheels are 17 x 9. How close will the wheel be to flush. or even hellaflush. Does anybody think these wheels will work good. Or will they just plain be to wide. please let me know. Sorry for the lack of knowledge on my part. Link: http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/volk-ce...11V-CE28N-GEN-5 Just copy and paste in your search box, Thank You 5x114.3? find the correct bolt pattern and offset. -------------------- |

If stock is +35 and width doesn't have an effect, then why are my stock steelies a LOT less flush than my +42s? Clearly width plays an important part. if width doesn't matter then where does all the extra width go? in backspacing? clearly not so therefore width does matter. +35 on a 4 inch rim and +35 on a 10 inch rim will be completely different fitting (flushwise). EDIT that should have quoted block not babi_boi sorry This post has been edited by my94st: Dec 13, 2011 - 4:23 PM |
