hi everyone, I just have a deal on a set of used weds SA90
but i'm not too sure if they are going to fit my car

rims: weds SA90
size: 17x8 offset 42 (of coz they are 5x100)
tires: 225/45/17

planning to lower my car for an inch after I buy the rims
anyone has the same setup ? any rubbing issue ??

by the way, the spec of stock rims are 16x6.5 offset 50
and tires are 205/55/16

plz help
thanks

 

They should fit, I would recommend rolling your fenders before the drop.

 

those will fit just fine

 

Does anyone have experience with tein htech springs? I'm getting a great deal on some volk 18x8 with 44 or 45 offset, and I'm putting them on my wagon. The htechs lower the car almost an inch. Do I need to roll the fenders for something like this?

 

depends on the tire size.

 

18x8.5 +45 with tein h techs on 235/40 nittos ... i rolled just to be safe.. but you can see.. its not that close

 

good times haha

 

Thanks for the pic. I think I will roll just to be safe too. BTW your wagon looks awesome!

 

Shagon, what camber settings were you running with in this pic? I take it this is an old pic? I forgot what my camber was like when the suspension was stock, but since I put my struts and springs on, the rears loog good and the fronts look like it's at a 90 degree(straight up and down). Is this ok, or should I have had a slightly inward camber setting up front?

 

Here's the update of the rims on my car. They are so freakin' sweet!

 

looks good ! i THINK i was at -1.4 back then.. not much camber at all

 

I tok the car in to get aligned and the front passenger camber was at +.4, so they changed everything back to factory settings which is like -.3 in the fronts. 18's just don't seem that big once you've finally got them, but I would not ever go bigger.
