I've been through too many wheels in the past year and would like to find a set I can stick with! I have OEM flared front fenders and plan to install ASM overfenders on the rear. Please help me choose one of the following

1. My current Work Meister 3pc are too aggressive so if I keep them I will have to run 225 on 9.5 and 265 on 10.5 :

2. BBS LM. The offsets will be flush with 225 on 8" and 255 on 9" so the tires won't be stretched. If I get these, I plan to get them refinished into this setup :



3. CCW Classics. I will get these in the same color as above in offsets that will allow me to run decent tire with a 255 on 9.5 and 275 on 10.5. Here is a photoshop of a different colored set on my car without flares:

^It will look like that

 

If you want to be "hella flush" you have to run some stretch up front so that you do not damage your fenders. The type of work you have up front requires bondo, and when your square setup hits the fender from turning, the bondo will not comply. Stretch up fron its important for fitting aggressive fitment wheels on street driven cars. If this was a track only car, then a meatier tire would be much easier to live with because your not experienceing the driveways and weight transfer you get from street environments.

Your current setup is awesome. Your proposed tire fitment sounds about right. I have 265 on my 10.5's. That is a very common size for track cars. Just get the ASM rears and try the setup that you currently have with the 265 on the 10.5.


cyber evo runs a 265 on a 10.5

I voted a tie!

 

Thanks for the heads up. I've already run quite a few flush setups with "square" tire that did not rub the fender. I put painters tape on my fenders to test my wheels... the only problem I have is that it always rubs a chunk off my front bumper lol. The second and third options have are definitely less flush than my SSR setup

tried to pm you but it's not working. thinking of selling your meisters?? PM me!!

 

LM'S!!!

 

Work Meister with stretched tire for me....

 

Since you have the front fenders flared and rear overs you could get the LM's and reverse mount them

 

Hmm. Dont like any of them. But that's because I dont like mesh wheels or lip..although I did like the 3 piece meisters that were redone with gloss black barrel and matte black face...
