Mate of mine is running 18x8.5 et +35, his car is quite low and they fit perfectly with a very slight roll on the rears.

most of the wheels have a 9j rear the offsett is 38 i wonder would i get away with it ,my car wont be slammed but i dont want them sticking out either

Mine a barely out with 9.5J so you should be fine. 8.5 work equips going on the front and they are the same. Mines lowered 40mm at that

They works rezax, even if only 17s would look fantasic. Mine are 18s alright but with 17s it could get a mean drop if you even want to.

Here is mine with the 40mm drop but without the equips on the front 18x9.5j et35 :







Thats just with the standard camber

thats 9.5 j on the front f*** me thats wide ha , thats what i dont want lol , my coilovers dont have camber adjustment dont ask me why id expect hks to have this

surely id get away with a 9 j on the back so there is 8j all round on mine now with +42 offsett so the front is not an issue its just the rear for me

[tomo]

Just spoke to my mate, his are 8.5j et30. He said that you can fit 9.5 on with et35 too. (he's done a lot of research on it). I would go for the 18 x 8 + 35 on the front and 18x 9 +38 on the rear myself.
Either the weds kranze (top ones) or the works rezax (bottom ones) in the wide rim would look cool even as 17's.

Hope you're gonna post up pics afterwards.

Altezzas have a lower and upper wishbone that's why the coil-over can't adjust camber

Altezzas do have camber adjusters on the lower arm but these were designed for normal ride height, if you go too low you will end up with a lot of negative camber and inner tyre wear... if this is a problem you can get adjustable upper arms but be sure they allow for POSITIVE adjustment as the Cusco type ones are designed for track use where extra negative camber is more desirable than tyre life

Noel hit the nail on the head there...
i like the rims in the first pic would look good on the car

oh right learn something new every day ha ha i dont plan on lowering the car anymore anyway there is to many speed ramps around and i already catch the underbrace on some

will let ye know what i pick

[a2pen]

never saw a pic of the front but there was a guy on drift works running 18x9.5j et 30 rota grids, I think that may be to much poke on the front without serious arch and camber work.
