over the last year ive had a ap1. running some 17x9 +40 with 255/40's. the car was on some type of super low blue springs. with rolled lips in the rear and some cutting of the front plastic all was ok as long as you were super careful. i wouldnt say streetable though if you had to drive somewhere you didnt know very well.

i have since sold off my ap1 for a very nice ap2. i want to carry over the ce28's with out doing any damage to my new car.

in the near future ill be installing some 12k f and r coilovers with some higher then normal camber.

what do you guys think about taking the wheels to a machine shop and having the hubs milled down a couple mm's? making them +48ish or even more. this car will be in 6 track events next year. i just hate the idea of rolling fenders, cutting etc on a new car.

any ideas.

Rolling the fender is actually a much simpler task then getting the wheels machined down to a lower mm as it is only a 20 minute process to roll both sides of the fender. You CAN however carry over the the 17x9 +40 over but it is way to aggressive for the car with stock body unless you bust a 240 style and run some 215/40-17's all around.

If you really do want to run these wheels, then getting them milled down would be your best bet

 

I would not recommend shaving material off the wheel to change the offset. You would lower the load capacity of the tire and the structural integrity of the wheel. This is never a good idea.

 

wide front fenders, rolled rears, negative camber, stiffer suspension and you're set

 

roll fenders ftw. its only the plastic part.. not the actual car =]. i've always loved aggresive offsets. just roll them! a lot cheaper too!

 

actually its metal, and is part of the fender.
