So, i'm trying to get my car HellaFlush before summer starts.
I am only briefly familiar with offset, tire sizes, n rims sizes.
What's the biggest set of rims, with a lip, and stretch tired can I buy?

can you please search the site. Not just type some meaningless garbage in the box and click enter, but really look.

look at SHGeasye's car. He has awesome stance and its functional

if you don't like that style look at Ghettotech's car

if you don't look at the member rides section i could tell you to put anything on your car and you will think its 'Hellaflush' and it will be garbage

I'm sorry for the things I have yet to learn.
I've looked throughout this site and clubep3.

"rolling on Fn01r-c’s, 18x8.5 +30 and 18x9.5 +22 in the rear. "
okay, so WTF does THIS mean...in english?
The measurements confuse the fuck out of me. 18x....so i know it's 18 in rims....and the +22 is the offset?
but i don't understand how all that combines with the car's measurements, etc....
Which is what I'd like to know. Haven't found a single post that explains part-by-part what the measurements are,
and how they take place in cambering//and slammin//fender rolling.

im not gonna bash you

18=18inch diameter rims
8.5=rim width
and your right about the + being offset

in the ep3 id avoid +0 its hard to tuck

many guys are running 16x8 +15 xxr rims, as am i, not super flush but they fit alright

How do you think they Work Meisters S1 R would fit?? I want to have as much lip as i can, but still look good. Since my EP doesn't have much, I want my stance to stand out....in a good way.

18x8.5 +30
18 in wheels

8.5in wide

offset is explained by the distance from the centerline of the wheel (expressed in mm)
so those wheels would be 30mm closer to the outside of the wheel, measured from the centerline.

camber is a measurement of the "lean" that the top of your wheel makes. it is a tool that is used to counteract suspension geometry changes when under compression.


slammin is the slang refrence for lowering the ride height of a vehicle by cutting your springs

fender rolling is when your friends come over with a baseball bat and roll the arches of your wheel wells so your tires will not rub on you fenders/fender liners


Serisously though, please do some research before you respond to my post.

just fyi. 18x8.5 is extremely hard to pull off. try out 16x8 +15 offset. research and go to www.wrongfitmentcrew.com/forum/index.php

grippy is super helpful

Dude the internet is full of knowledge. If you need to figure something out or need to search something use Google. You would be surprised how many ways it will tell you what an offset means or what the width of a wheel is. All you have to do is put the time into research.
And if you want a big lip wheel you bought the wrong car.

Ok lets see I'll set my personal opinion aside and try to answer this in a way you'll understand.

Get some 17x8 or If you wana 17x8.5 with around +20 some 205/50 or 205/45 tires :D

Now we move on to getting coilovers and don't even think about preload

Now we go get an alignment along the lines of -3 front and -5.5 in the back

Roll those fenders now

Hella flush plate frame

Stickers angled all the way down the left side of the back of the window.

Have a ton of money put away for tires and oil pans

and finish with this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-BGIcRBPHM

now the first 4 suggestions were serious that would be how you start if you wanted to go the hella flush route

lol I had to look at it again to notice the photoshoped cop car xD funny thing about this though. I got pulled over the other day and the cop asked me "I couldn't help but notice but I think there's something wrong with your suspension, it looks like your back wheels are off."

I gave the cop a dumb found face and was like huh what do you mean.

I mean come on my back wheels aren't that bad right?

8.5 wide +35-30 is definitely a good look. minimal camber in the rear needed with stretched tires and a good fender roll.

i leave the diameter alone because thats for you to decide but i like stanced cars with 40 profile tires, so i would go with 17x8.5 with a 205/40 stretched.
16s with 45s stretched don't look nearly as proper as 40s.


and 16s with stretched 40s on our cars mean low.... real, real, real low.
i know from personal experience... its not even fun to drive the car anymore. it gives me anxiety. lol

hope thats helpful?
