was waiting for your car to pop up blags... :(

joeyjoe did your rear wheels go straight on ? whats the size again and you dont have to run any camber?

not bolt on... i refuse to run camber as the car has 323rwkw

i'm runing 18x9.5 +25 w 245/40/18 nitto NT05's

the camber is set to be flat on WOT, cant remember the exact numbers

guards had to be flared

Does anyone here with these "fitments" actually track their cars?

and by track I dont mean drift?

Its all very well bagging out people with safe / conservative offsets..but if you are jumping ripple strips having a bee's dick of clearance to the guards and 10deg neg camber just isnt going to work, nor is having a 215 tyre streched onto a 10" wide rim.

*awaits all the "hella flush" fan boys to say OMFG your car is so shit you have +22 offsets on an 8" rim with 235 tyres, you should get 50mm spacers and 185s!!12131!!ty*

when mines finished i will and not just drift.

17x9.5 225 stretch, having bee's dick clearance on neg1 on rear all the way through suspension travel. and neg2 up front which i believe are realistic numbers.

camber and stretch is not wheel fitment. you have to think realisticly when doing it, running something stupid like neg4 or something on the rears just to tuck em is retarded. however when you look at it / \ is baller lOL, but not practical

wheel fitment is rim size, tyre size, ride height, wheel alignment, guard work. the propper hella flush cars are defiantly not what you have described above, majority are show cars and yes some are impractical, however search up fatlace and see that he drives his s14 hard with fitment.

and one thing fitment isn't is SPACERS.

How is that progressing BTW?

Agreed with Dave, lotsa guys think epic stance is about stretching skinny tyres on dished wheels with camber and suspension height dialled down stupid low.
