Default Te37 saga 18" on s2k - need confirmation (I've done research)

Hi all. I did a tonne of research and just want to confirm a few things. I went through the forums. Google. YouTube for infos on doing 18s on an s2k.

I want to fit 18x9.5 +45 mainly due to the concave face 3.

Based on research I need to roll and cut some inner areas of the bumper to fit that set up. Maybe flaring is needed.

I am trying to avoid camber changes for sure. And hopefully to avoid flaring is possible.

I'm thinking dropping 1.5 to 2". I also want some low profile tires. Like 35 height.

Yes quiet aggressive look in some people's eyes. But nothing compare to some of the rowdy s2ks out there. Photo attached for the looks I am going for.



Anyone have done similar set up without having to do camber and flaring mods?
​​​​

Thanks for the help!

That's pretty much impossible to do without camber and/or flaring. On my old set-up and on stock body I had x10+50 with flaring and tab relocation and needed -2.3 camber in front and rear.

35 sidewall is pretty standard for all s2k owners running 18's so nothing new there. The picture does show some stretch so It's probably a 235 tire. If you're OK with running a 235 tire, which would be stretching, then you'd at least need -2.3 camber and you might get away with just a fender roll but don't be surprised if it starts rubbing.

Since it sounds like you're against camber pretty heavily then you'd need to pull, cut, and relocate tabs and hope that you can get away with less than 2 degree camber.

Also those rowdy s2k owners have massive camber, destroyed frames, butchered fenders, and pretty much a useless piece of junk. Oversized wheels, is oversized wheels, you may not fit this without some sacrifices.
