Default SSR Professor 18"

Hi all !

I found a nice set of SSR SP1 in 18 ... I'd like to know if they'll fit on my S.

Size are :

18x8.5 +30
18x9.5 +43

What do you think ???

I also got an AP racing BBK in the front and I'd like to get your point of view about the fitment ?

thanks

They will not fit without modification.

If you are going with the right tire sizes you will need a pull/flare in front and maybe in the rear also. Camber will also be necessary.

They will fit, you will need to do some work to the fenders. Roll/Flare and relocated tab in the rear. Also depends on ride height.

This is 18x8.5 +29 (225/40) and 18x9.5 +41 (255/35)


How low you are is the depending factor on how much camber you'll need to run. Also tire size. I personally would recommend a 245 or 235 rear with a 215 Front. This will take decidedly less fender work and a small amount less camber to clear. The car above was daily driven never rubbed unless it was at full lock on the front.

thanks all for your answers !

I've got some works already done on the fenders and I'm a little low too



Do you think that they will clear with the brakes ?
