Okay I just ordered varrstoen 17x9 with the plus 22 mm offsets 4 of them for front and rear. The question is I wanna lower my Si from factory but I don't want lots of negative in the front and the rear. But I want a clean meaty aggressive look. Is that possible?

 

[JaydiemTRAN]

It is possible Matt, it depends how low you're going. Regardless you're required to roll and pull front fenders, and roll quarters. If you want to tuck 17x9+22 with 245/40 you're gonna rub in the rear inner wheel well and front you may rub on hard turns

 

[JaydiemTRAN]

You're also required to run negative camber as well.

No I don't wanna tuck the rear wheels. I want both front and back reasonably straight with about an inch wheel gap for both.

 

[webby]

I'd wager you're going to be poking out of the fenders by almost an inch without the camber the others have had to run to get the wheels to tuck

 

[Matt3CivicSi]

I know I have to run neg camber just trying to avoid making my car look like a triangle lol. To much is -4. Put it this way I want my tires wearing evenly. I like "Trackedfb6" setup that's what I'm looking for I even think he's running just a tad to much negative camber in the back but I can live with that and I know he has +27 offsets on his.

 

[JaydiemTRAN]

You're not gonna clear in the rear dude

 

[Matt3CivicSi]

Trackedfb6 cleared and he's running +27 offset with 245s and his is exactly what I'm looking for. 5mm can't make that much of a difference. I wish I new more about his build like how much camber he is running.

 

[JaydiemTRAN]

The front will clear but rear's won't cause your you'll rub against your gas fill up neck on hard turning/cornering...that can be hazardous

 

[Matt3CivicSi]

Is it because I'll have to roll my rear fenders? Cuz if so I'll just buy a fender roller they are only like 65$

 

[JaydiemTRAN]

Well I'm not gonna argue I'm just giving you a word of advice. You will not clear with 17x9+22 with 245/40 in the rear with minor camber lol. You'll rub. Usually the ideal. Square set up I've seen many 9th owners run are 17x9+35 with 245/40 or with 235/40. I wouldn't recommend running x9+22 rear with 245/40 thats gonna chew up the inner rear wheel well and quarters if you hit a nasty dip or hard turns

 

[Matt3CivicSi]

But what's minor camber to you? And you don't think I can obtain .511 of an inch in rolling my fenders? Cuz that's the difference in offset.

 

[JaydiemTRAN]

Honestly bro you can try it see if the set up works for you. Trial and error man.

 

[Matt3CivicSi]

Did you have your fenders rolled when you had your 17x9 +22?

 

[webby]

He's rolled and pulled his fenders.

 

[webby]

Could always do the phone book pull
