Default WedsSport Fitment

Front: 215/45/17X8.0 +49
Rear: 245/40/17X9.0 +49

Looking at purchasing WedsSport TC105n in those sizes with those size tires. Planning on lowering the car 1.0" - 1.25" as well. I know offset +45 requires a roll so I think I'll be cutting it close. Not interested in rolling my fenders. Could I get away with just camber?

Yes for the rear but not the front. Since you are lowering it you should roll them.

You don't think so w stock tire size? The offset is only 6 mm lower than stock AP2.

I keep saying this. The front wheel turns so the offset and camber doesn't matter because it is when the wheel turns that it can grab your fender. This happens when the suspension is compressed. If it were stock height I would say you could get away with it but it is compounded when the car is lowered. I have seen more damaged front fenders due to the car being lowered than running aggressive wheels and it is a pain to fix and you can always tell something happened unless you have a body shop fix it. I have seen it with oem wheels.

Although the offset is 6mm lower, the wheel is also 1" wider, making it extend an extra 19mm.

Agreed with manga. Its not so much aggressiveness as it is lowering. Mix semi lower with semi agressive and could pull.your fender at full lock

It is everything to do with the wheel turning. Even stock wheels will hit the fender if the suspension can compress enough when the wheel is turned. This is just much more possible with a lowered car. Like I said I have seen it happen with stock wheels and tires just a lowered car numerous times. All it takes is the right set of circumstances and the tire rubs through the liner and grabs the fender.

Very cool wheel, they are at the top of my list also. If I was into fender rolling, the TC105Ns would be it, but I just can't bring myself to roll 'em
