IIRC that setup was 18x9.5 +25 with 235/40/18 F and 18x9.5 +30 with 225/40/18 R and he rolled his fenders but did not pull them. That should give you an idea.

Opinions on 17x9.75 +25 with some 215/40-17s all around? would this be a decent amount of poke? its hard to find 225/40s in a 17 inch. Seems like 25 is a good offset.

are you on coils or springs? 215/45 would be pretty good

BC racing coils i was thinking 215 or 205...haha i like the price of 205s better of course but 215 nitto neogens probably. you would go with 45s over 40s?

also what do you guys run for extended studs and for lug nuts?

^ speaking of junky federals, i'll upgrade next year but they will work for now

new wheels are on. I need coils bad though..my ark springs don't show too well with the 215/40 tire.

Regardless, stage 1 of my stance is complete









^btw..terrible cell picts, professional ones coming later this week as well as my varrstoen decals

Ksport guys, whats the rear set up to tuck tire. Cut bump stops on spring and shock? No bump stops? I'm already running no lock rings but I need to go lower still. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm just throwing this out there, but Varrostens are becoming as popular as MSR's Not literally of course, but they are starting to show up a **** ton.

^personally I do not care whats "trending" or not lol.. i have scoured wheel's for the last 2 years trying to find a wheel I think works and with the set up I am going for, I liked these best. It helped that some of you had these on to see what they would look like. But overall, the price, and the look I want to achieve are what drove my decision!

Plus I know some of you run these or are planning to run them on css.net but as far as the thousands of other cobalt ss's in the world, no one that I am aware of has them in my area so i think i'm safe

The only other option for the rims I'm looking at is 18x9 +35 and that won't clear brembos

I've got some Ark ST-P coilovers coming in, and I'm really trying to get some poke from my wheels, just wondering what you guys would recommend. I have an 8inch wheel with a massive +40 offset so I was looking at a 20mm spacer? Anyone got anything even slightly similar (with pics) to give me an idea!?
