whats up guys, i have a couple questions that im sure some of you could answer about suspension. i drive an eg coupe with a gsr suspension swap on tokico illumina 5 way adjustables and h&r 2.5" drop coils but it honestly has not satisfied my likings. i need some insight on how to get a more aggressive stance. rims are 16" drag dr-16's but im not sure of the wheel off set. i wanna get stretched tires to round the wall out a bit but do not know how to do these things. im also wondering if a camber kit will give me a more aggressive stance? your opinions are wanted

thanks,

zach

Define what aggressive stance is or means for you...

Wheel size, tire size, camber, offset, and ride height are all going to play a factor in the outcome of whatever stance you're looking for so fully understanding what each is and how it works is crucial.

perfect example, i want this but on my coupe, i just dont know what needs to be done

i love my drags and would love to stick with a 16" wheel, not sure about what kind of tires to get or how to get the tire look that i want. i wanna know how to tuck my wheels the right way, things like that. ive been up and worked my 9 hours today and havent been to sleep so its too hard to find the right way to explain, sorry guys

ok heres another example
how do i achieve this:


im thinkin maybe some new skunk2 adjustable coilovers on some tokico illumina struts??

Koni/ground control setup will get you the right height. As for the "hellaflush" look you'll need some low offset wheels, or spacers for your current wheels. Also front and rear camber kit to get it to look right.

Your going to do that with springs, you'll need coilovers, low offset wide wheels spacers and camber kit.
By the way, all your going to do is hurt your handleing,ride qaulity by doing that.

that much negative camber will make the tires wear faster on the insides and super low offset like that will eat up wheel bearings faster. I don't think it's logical just to get a certain look, but do as you wish.

well is there any way to get a flush, not the full "hellaflush" look but just a more flush stance?

I guess I'll have to break it down for you...

Ride height-Determines how high your car will ride but also determines how much of a wheel gap you'll have with a corresponding rim/tire combo

Offset-Determines how far the wheel will stick out relative to it's center of width and mounting point

Camber-Determines the angle of the wheels

Tire width-Determines tire width obviously but will dictate how much of a stretch will be achieved with a corresponding rim width

Like I had stated above, understanding how these work is crucial and will play a factor in obtaining the stance you want.

yesaCSpencer

NO SPACERS! True offset is achieved WITHOUT spacers.

slimmy502

what offset should i look for?

I belive a lot of people are runing 0 offset or close to it. Someone correct me if im wrong

I wouldnt do this to my car so i am manly guessing based opon what i have sceen.

Use a ruler and measure how much more you want your existing wheel to stick out. Then subtract that number (in millimeters) from your existing offset. This will work as long as the new rims you get are the same width. If you change the width, adjust as necessary.

NocturnalCivic

is the offset the angle at which the tires stand? i havnt seen a clear answer on what the offset means.

FTNW

This is ALOT more simple than OP thinks.

Coilovers+camber kit+stretched tires on 0 or close offset wheels.

And if you want to be "Flush but not the full hellaflush" Than just take away something from that list ???

NACvicSi

The offset is the offset of the wheel. A lower offset wheel will have more of a lip/dish look.

Don't be an idiot and stretch tires either.

1-Old thread
2-Should be in Wheel & Tire.
3-If this were in Wheel and Tire it would be locked.
From the Wheel & Tire FAQ.
10. Do not ask about "stretching" tires onto wheels that are too wide.
All such topics will be locked. Tire manufacturers determine the wheel widths onto which each model and size tire can be mounted safely, and you can find the range of these wheel widths in the specs on their websites as well as those of retailers like the Tire Rack. Mounting tires onto wheels outside this range of approved wheel widths is unsafe because it can, and often does, result in the buildup of excessive stress and heat in the tire sidewalls, which can lead to the tire "popping the bead" and/or tire failure. Make sure your tires are mounted on wheels whose widths are within the approved range.

If they don't allow these kinds of posts neither should a tech forum.

Just don't do this if you want to actually drive your car on any sort of regular basis.
