^ exactly, but still sweet none the less.

Whoa.. I see a Replica!!!

Are you on coilovers?

spacers would be good but it looks a bit lower in the rear and with spacers that would be rubbing a bit.

definitely shave the rears and push those bad boys out a little....you'll be sooooo glad you did. I sure was!

Thanks for all the tips guys.

What size spacer would you guys recommend after i shave the rear?

^D, I'd say 20mm, but that's just me trying to get somewhat aggressive. I'm currently at +27 (+37 with a 10mm Ichiba spacer) out back on an 8" wheel & 225/40 rubber, but I'd want to try and push the specs closer to +17, and hopefully with the new staggered spring setup, I'll be somewhat closer to being KINDAFLUSH (Since only Milt & Richard can truly be HELLAFLUSH).

I wouls suggest rollin' the fenders.
Looks like a twin from Damon's car. lol.
That's awesome.
I don't know what i would do if i found a DWP Solara just like mine.

you can get pretty agressive in the rear if you chamber it right and get the right tiring sizing..

I am running 17x8.5 with a +15 offset with 215/45 tires... but I rub when fully loading since I sit about 5 to 8mm outside the fender well..

if you go 8.5" wide you should be able to run +25 offset if you have your fendres rolled without any problems.

However for the front 8.5" with +40 offset or +37 offest is good. I've ran both and for the front and they look good.

I have my cut and pulled.
Right now I am only on teins and tokico.. however I have JIC Coilovers that I should be installing in a couple of weeks. After that both front and rear will be almost tucking.. NO GAP at all.

^^ Hey Kenny were you the one that posted about rolling fending for people? If so I will go to you for my fender roll.

by **Toy1mzfe** » Mon Apr 06, 2009 9:06 pm

^^^really.. +25 huh... good to kno.

I suggest you to roll your fender wells instead of cutting them. You get a better fold with it and be able to squeeze a larger size.

For those running 8.5 +35 watch out for your camber, If there is too much camber on my setup, my wheels would touch my JICS.

^ they are discontinued. Your best bet would be to find a used set on a forum.
