didnt have time to read thru the whole thread. anyone ever try to fit any 305's on the rear of a mkiii? what modifications had to be done? also 295/30/18 is really close to stock in overall diameter right? i forget what stock size is.
Kristian_Wraae;1259865 said:So you suggest using 265 instead of 255 to stretch the tire? Can you explain how using tires that are 1 cm wider can result in more stretch?
Are you sure about your sizes? +12 on a 10 inch wheel can't be flush, when +14 on a 10 inch wheel isn't.

- shit you can go ahead and put a 195/50/17
mk3concepts;1262475 said:pretty sure you can fit 305 on a mk3..i mean if you can fit 10inch in the back..pretty sure you can..

JERX88;1263532 said:I have seen 18X10 F+R with an offset of +19. Will 19X10 F+R with and offset of +20 fit? I have no problems with rolling fenders. Am i able to lower the car at all? Would a set of tein flex's bring the car too low and cause rubbing?
Thank you for the help
Island_Yota;1265139 said:What would you guys recommend for wheels from this site: www.1010tires.com, looking for 17's for under $200 per wheel, what would you guys suggest would look the best on a midnight blue Mk3? im not really into chrome or black, I feel silver or bronze would look much better on my car.
Reason for 1010tires is because they are local and the best prices.
So far I like the bronze falken hanabi's for $165/wheel, seen them mounted "backwards" on a 240 before and they looked sweet, but hmm.. 42mm offset? would that be alright?
Sawbladz;1265587 said:That website seems to have a terrible selection widths for the wheels they offer. They have some good looking ones but 17x7 is useless. I would go elsewhere. There are more important things than price and convenience. lol

maybe you should do some research or flush fitments then..hey thats what this thread is for anyway :dunno:
HIDPLANET;1266227 said:I am replacing my rear 18x10+30 wheels with 18x10+24 ones.
Currently the rears have 245/40/18 and have a slight stretch to prevent rubbing, but with the new rears, the lip of the wheel is flush with the fender and it needs a roll, but im going to get the wheels lips refinished and get new tires mounted on them before they get mounted on the car.
Question is, does anyone have experience with this offset? And will the 245s work still or do I need to get a smaller profile tire to tuck the sidewalls in tighter? I tested out the new wheels without tires and its right there at the fender so the sidewall has to be sucked in a bit, so im thinking I might have to use a 245/35/18 although I prefer a slightly taller side profile.
Just dont want to get tires to find out they still wont fit in there.
Oh and I want to see if I can fit the old rears up front. Anyone know of any issues with a low pad (concave face) GT-C 18x10 up front?
