thanks a bunch! will do all these before i actually go and buy them and stretching tires is already a plan lol.

i was planing on trimming the front even of now, i rub on stock wheels.


but thanks! i hope it comes out looking like i plan.

i am assuming if you are already that low you have coilovers? because for sure you will need coilovers in order to dial in exactly the height and stiffness you need. you will have to be very low to get the amount of camber you need without joints. realistically i think you will have to run closer to -4.5 to -4.7. and i am sure you already prepared for a rough ride and a piggy bank for just tires

Forged rolled my fenders on my old AP1 back in the day and did a good job. No issues I needed just a little roll though, nothing like what you will need.

Good luck with getting the look you want.

will check how much i need pull, my set up is 18x10 +25 all around


very aggressive. many of you will dislike the set up or think it too aggressive but i seen many s pull it off nicely and this is the route i want to go with.

doing what i like :]


if anyone have idea how much it need pull be very helpful, and i need to see if i would need spacers also for this set up. need to prepare before i go and buy them and cant get it to fit. :

I have +55 18x 8.5 and I have thirty mm over wider fenders up front and a very aggressive roll in the rear. So you will have to get pretty extreme

if you dont mind, can you tell me your set up, as far as i seen, your set up look pretty aggressive as well, you are also running negative right? and how often you buy your tires.

18inch with 10 with 25 offset all around with spacers. are you kidding me? our car is not a freaking corvette, bro unless you are planning to put an Amuse GT widebody kit or else your car will look like a cholo and might as well put a wired wheels into them. just my 2 cents.

Forged (john) rolled my fenders last year. The rears and passenger front came out perfect but the driver front side is all chipped up. I did however touched it up with black paint so all good. I knew there was a possibility of the paint cracking so i did not care too much about it. He was up front and honest about what happened. I think he said we pulled about 10mm out for the fronts.
