I was refering to rodriguezGD when he said " lol replace camber" then you called him an "a$$hole. You give a bunch of different sizes and expect for others to do the legwork for you. Like some people have been saying. It gets expensive and if you don't do it right then you will probably spend more than you want.

But slug was informative. You took Direct, straight forward INFORMATION and replied with immature defensiveness. Uncalled for. It's true. If you don't know enough about wheel/tire/suspension then don't do it.

I just started getting into wider wheels, lower offsets, etc. The difference between you and I is READING and RESEARCH. That giant red button (top center) works wonders. Even more so on NASIOC, don't get me wrong, they're meaner than we are, but the breadth of knowledge and info there is unreal. After a few months of reading, contacting credible shops, etc I knew exactly what to do and who to have do it. Build with passion, and take time to savor the work that goes into your car. You'll appreciate it a lot more.

As a disclaimer: Don't always believe what you read. For every 1 correct fact there's 5 that are wrong that pop up first. RESEARCH, and find credible sources.

guess i could have said it nicer, but there is so much information on here and even on nasioc...find a picture of a car with the setup you want, pm the owner and ask him his setup...

i might be running 17x9+30s, and on nasioc i was able to find a thread with just pictures and specs of people with 17x9s...all sorts of tire sizes, suspension info, alignment settings, tire sizes etc..

heres the "stanced subaru thread" the first page has someone with 18x9.5+35 wheels

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2226730

and check out the WFC forums cuz its full of people with wide low offset wheels
