Default wheel fitment

should be an easy fit with coilovers, no?
I'm thinking 225/40 front and 235 or 245/40 rear..

wrong sizing!
it was 8Jx18+43 8.5Jx18+62, lol

what are some of the more "extreme" setups running around here?.. now that i look.. this isn't extreme at all, hopefully it wont be sunk?

I'm too lazy to search.

that fitment sounds safe to me. im a little worried about the front, depending on how low you are and fender mods, but if you run that 225/40 your thinking about, you should be ok.

The front is going to need the fenders rolled and probably some extra negative camber dialed in, the rear is fine. Those seem like strange sizes, the front offset is much more aggressive than the rear. You could probably run a 255 in the rear without any problem.

Stock AP2 front is 7 +55. An 8 +43 extends 25mm (about an inch) further out that stock. you may need some sort of fender work or extra camber to make this work.

The rear will be fine without modification.

Ya, i was thinking i'd need camber for the fronts..

hmmm.. rears seem like it'll fit real easy.. maybe a 10 or 15mm spacer with some camber..

Thats a strange setup. Your fronts will stick out 12mm more than your rear wheels.
