I'd like a set that barely clear the brakes, something like 15"x10" for slicks. I read what you posted will, wouldnt changing the offset so that more of the wheel is outboard work?

Yeah, it would, but then you run into the fender. stock is +42 on both SC and TC i believe. so 35 would push it out a little. Anything between 45 and 35 is no problemo. After that you're kinda in your own world.

i was thinking 25 with a mean stretch. know what i'm saying? btw has anyone stretched tires on a balt yet?

[ls1fbody]

Remedy1 had a slight stretch when he was running the Rennen RC2's. Nothing like you though haha. i wouldn't recommend +25 to anyone, but i know you have the access and the willingness to roll/pull your fenders, just make sure you use lots of heat, evenly applied etc.

i guesss i mean if i get the wheels and they dont fit ill make em fit whatevs

Assuming your tires would actually touch the fender, I was thinking something more like this, just for the 1/4 and 1/8 mind you

I would like a setup like that just for the strip. always nice to have a set of slicks. i do have the axles for it so why not.

guys i'm still having a bit of trouble choosing the offset. i have decided on a 9 inch wide wheel because it's a nice and modest stretch with the 215/45 tires. i can't figure out what offset to use! i can always use spacers, but if i go too positive i can't use the wheels! the thickest spacer i can get is 25mm. anyone have any advice?

[ff_drift_lol]

anyone? please help i have the money in hand im going to order tomorrow

Try 30 mike. Should clear fine.

Or play it safe and go with 35, you can always space it out.
