What color did you go with?

 

I'm doing the Blast Bronze. I feel like most other colors don't go well with Chicane Silver, and black is boring to me. I do like the pressed graphite, but I feel like it might be a bit too close to the color of the car. Can't go wrong with bronze.

 

Actually just bought a set from Idleboost and it was a very smooth transaction. Getting the wheels tomorrow (racing green) highly recommend him if you havent pulled the trigger already.

Side note, what tire size did you have planned if you were getting the TEs? I dont track, just DD my car, wanted to go 255 square and was told that 255 wont fit. they recommend going 245/40/17 but my fenders are rolled (not pulled) and tabs relocated though. Anyone have experience and would like to throw some knowledge my way haha.

 

For best fitment you will need to do front upper offset bushings to bring the top of the wheel in 7mm. You can run 245 or 255s but you'll need around -3 degrees of camber front and rear.
I had lower offset balljoints but they don't help with getting the tire to fender fitment right at around -3 camber. You could add more camber with the lower BJs but my TEs are on the street car.

 

I also purchased them through him, he has plenty in stock if any of you want to get some too!

As for tire size, I’m gonna try and fit 255s all round. I already have 255s on my rears so it only makes sense to just buy two more for the fronts. My car is lowered on Öhlins and I have the Origin offset bushings for the upper control arms ready to go. Just waiting on my tires to arrive, so we’ll see how it goes.

 

255’s will fit no problem. I track my car and don’t experience any rubbing. Just make sure to roll your fenders and do the typical tab relocate for the rear. For the fronts you will need either offset bushings or lower ball joints, I personally run J’s offset joints with -3.6 degrees of camber. The rears should fit fine. Here’s a picture of my front for reference

 

I was going to purchase offset bushings but my shop told me that won't fix my rubbing issue. However, it seems it helped you. I went to cheworks and Rob was able to give me -3.3 of camber all around. I'm running ohlins with 17x9.5 +46 TE37 255 square with evasive lower camber ball joints.

When I finally took out my car for an autocross event, I noticed a massive amount of rubbing on tight turns and slightly bent my driver side fender. I was able to minimize some rubbing since I lifted the car about half an inch. However, I still can't drive like I normally do since I'm still rubbing on full load.

What offset bushings did you purchase? I was thinking of purchasing origin fabrication delrin offset bushings from evasive (https://shorturl.at/ltyM3) ( Does anyone here have any experience with these bushings?) I really don't want to flare my fender and honestly I'm getting a bit frustrated with this issue since I've been missing autocross events.

IDK how active the stock is for the origin fab is since evasive tends to drop ship but Baero is another option. Sorry to hear that you smashed a fender and it definitely is frustrating. Somewhat disappointing that cheworks lead you astray. I’m not local to them but aren’t they supposed to be fairly reputable? It’s fairly well known that +45 is a very borderline fitment that will need lots of camber and will vary depending on the exact amount of pull that gets added to the fender roll, ride height, and alignment. I’ve seen it smash plenty of fenders. I’m running 255+50 with -3.5 front camber and I barely have 5 mm space between the fender lip and tire. TBH at the track I still do rub the inside trailing edge of the fender a little bit still during heavy cornering.

 

Why don't you guys just use upper adjustable arms/joints or bushings?

Pull the top of the tire in. Not push the bottom of the tire out.
