well, I would try the ghetto ways if I had my integra still, but I don't want to risk my s2k looking like a piece of crap. The other question is anyone with experience going to be there to prevent us from ruining our paint or fenders?
the rears you just gotta worry about buckling it

the fronts though, the only person i seen it who rolled it SUPER SUPER nice and almost perfect was abe at sonic. that thing came out super nice... easy fit 9+22 255 tyre in the front. thats how much it was flared out.

well I am looking into purchasing new wheels for the STR class coming out for auto-x. I am probably going to run the max width (8.5) all around in a non staggered setup. The fronts will probably the only ones that I need to roll, and most of the wheels I am looking at are 17x8.5 +50 so I will probably be doing a very slight fender roll......

Anyone know what offset I should get an 8.5 rear so that it doesn't get dwarfed inside the fender and look retarded?

+50 will be like sunken battleships.

it wont be that bad its probably like stock. so you wont have to roll at all
if 9 +40 is the standard meaning max offset and width without having to do alot of work then you can get away on an 8.5 width then +34 wll get you to the same place on the outside. so realistacaly you need a 8.5 +35~+40
or you can figure it out your self using this:

Sweet, they just changed the rules to allow 9 in wheels and 255 tire width so that means all I gotta do now is get my new suspension and get to rolling my fenders!

Who's down for a fender roll meet at my place August 8th?
