Default Blitz 01 refinish and mount project

Sorry for the semi long read, its my first time refinishing and installing aggressive offset wheels

Rims are 17x8 front, 17x9 rear, +35 all the way around. They came mounted with 235/45/17 up front, and a 255/40 in the back.

from my research I have found that I really need 225/45 up front, and a 245/40 in the back
running -2 degrees of camber in the front, and -2.5 in the back, my car is lowered on eibach pro kit springs

I will also need to roll my fenders, however I am unsure how to actually roll the fronts?

does that all sound correct?


for the wheel details I am curious as to how the wheels came apart once all of the bolts were removed, was there any kind of "glue" or adhesive holding the two pieces together? Also I believe I found in a thread that when putting them back together they require 26lbs or torque and need to be inserted one by one going from opposite corner to corner.

as far as color goes, my car is BB with red interior, I plan on doing the rim barrel in a gloss black powdercoat, the rim face in a matte black, and then painting my calipers red to top it off. I plan on leaving the bolts silver and just polishing them up.

any insight, recommendations, or shared experiences would be awesome, I want to do this safe and right the first time. I will have pics of the wheels up this weekend, as I only have three of them now and one is at my brothers.

You roll the front fenders the same as you would the rear fender. I suggest taking it to a shop that rolls fender to get it done if you dont have experience doing it. They will know what to do and how to do it right.
