they look better in silver or bronze to me

 

hey bud what color is your S? loving that shade of grey.

 

Looks to be Moonrock. An OEM color that was never offered in the states.

 

 

The stretch is pretty minimal, the tires still look substantial on the wheels, and not like rubberbands.
I also have 17x9 43 FN01R's with 255 NT05's, and both sets fit the fenders just about the same.
Because of my driveway, I had to roll my front fenders completely flat and flare them out to about a 45deg. angle. The paint cracked pretty bad, so I just finished them off with a hammer and dolly, sanded the cracked paint off, and wrapped them with a red Hexis HX20000 vinyl, It's a close enough match to the OEM NFR for me. You can kind of see the borders of the wrap on the fenders and hood, I also did the emblems, 3rd brake light and the endplates on the wing.
In the rear it's just your standard roll, with a Eastwood fender roller. It turned out good, and didn't need any paintwork, and none of the paint is cracking.
As far as Camber goes, right now I have -3deg. in the front, and -2.5deg. back. I'm mostly concerned with enjoying this car on racetracks, so my camber numbers are about performance and not necessary for fitment. I could probably get away with less than 2 degrees all around without rubbing issues.

Looks awesome sweetdill

How low is your car? No issues on track?

 

Awesome.
Your ride height is more or less what I am after myself as well. About a 0 finger gap all the way around. I have an Eastwood roller I just bought from Eastwood and a heat gun so Im all set there. Thats good to hear about the camber too, I was worried I would need more than -3 all the way around, but if you can stuff a tire that runs wide on there and not have any issues or possibly even run less camber that makes me happy. I LOVE that fat tire look with the concave, definitely has "All Business" written all over it.

 

I had no issues on track that weren't related to my inexperience.
My car looks a little lower somehow in the pictures than in person, I'm not quite at a zero gap,
maybe a pinky finger all around, but the front fenders being flared out with that gap mean the car is at a slight rake.
I have Tein SRC on the car now with J's RCA's all around, and a Hardrace Front Bumpsteer kit. I set the ride height so that the lower control arms are more or less flat, and the shocks have plenty of travel (both of which are helped by the RCA's). Also, having plenty of ground clearance is a good thing if you put two off on corner exit over the curbing.

Hey all, I'm looking to pick up some TE 37 SL's very soon.
Just need some advice on the best offset to get that will not require so much fender work.
Most I'd want to do is roll the fenders and that's about it.

My size options are :

17x9.5 +49
17x9.5 +35
18x9.5 +40

I would like to run a 255 tire all around.
Any suggestions on what the best option would be? Also which tire would fit best?
Also are there any pictures of cars with these offsets anywhere?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 

Best bet is 17x9.5 +49
