Thumbs up Wheels specs - Going concave

Hey

I'm looking for my next setup: TE37's in 18"

looking at the flush S2000, I found 3 setups:

9.5+22
10.5+45

and 9+40

I want concave but drivable... your opinion ?

If I'm right, 10.5+45 is 1" inner the wheels... but also much closer the coils' right ?

The 10.5+45 only sits 5pm closer to the suspension than the 8.5+65 on ap2 wheels..

But they stick out 45mm. That's 19mm more than a 17x9+45 rpf1, and the rpf1 already requires that you roll the fender, trim the bumper tab and relocate the bumper screw.

Can a 10.5+45 work? Yes, is it practical for daily driving, no. It would require an245 tire, lots of camber and lots of rolling.

.Here's w1ngt ride.

As he said:
Mine are 18x10.5 +45 offset with 255s all around.








And Danio's ride, 9.5+22





None of these two look like MexiFlush... Do they ?

Looks good! I'm guessing a little bodywork?

Front's are Flared and pulled, the rears would require Flare, shave and hell of a lot of negative camber. IMO, not worth the trouble. Function>form all day..
