it was huy's rims first tuans (azunboy) younger brother, then tristan (s2kpinoy) bought them, if you don't see either of them post lmk ill call them and ask.

as far as i'm concerned it was 225 in the front and 265 in the rear, they rubbed like crazy, huy didn't roll, tristan i think eventually did and no spacers.

wheels were bought for 1140 shipped, waiting was 3months lol. We did roll the fenders and did a little cutting, nothing too harsh. Front plastic wheels wells were retained and the rear had no rubbing after fender rolling. Dropped on tein drop springs which is roughly 1 inch all around. could go lower if we bought smaller tires sizes though.

camber issue was next to factory specs, front were dead on and rear was .9off which isnt bad considering its dropped. Hope that helps and LMK if u need some fender rolling done, we did tristans too

roll and slightly pull the fenders and you can go slammed if you want. Im pretty much slammed on my new set up. Im running a 17x9+45 in the front and 17x9.5 +38 in the rear. Just run 225/40 all around and you will be fine ..and you will need to relocate the rear bumper bolt as well. I did all the fender work for a friend of mine on his s2k and the man is running aggressive offset wheels with no probs

Definitely run smaller tires. 265 was fat on 9 width wheels.
