TSW help

[deaner17]

I know you guys are probably annoyed with all the tire threads, but i know about one thing about wheels and i know they go on the car. But could someone please give me some help with this?

i was wondering if at all possible to get these wheels without cutting/rollings my fenders, or drag bags?

or would i have to go with the 18x8's all the way around?

Roll them and go staggered FTW!

This was one of those wheels that I was looking into as well.. If i was going to go with this wheel I would want the staggered set up.. With have the lip it looks much better when there staggered.. I would say if you like those wells roll your fenders and get staggered.. Dont go with these wheels if your going to go 18X8 all around..


If you go 18X8 you wont have to roll or anything..

do the staggered! looks better anyways! and you will kick yourself if you dont. and shave them 3mm....and put a 265 on, get a cradle alignment and you will be setting fine as wine! i did and i havent rubbed a single time since i have had the wheels on my car!

VQ WILL GIVE YOU THE OPTION TO SHAVE THE REARS AND EXTRA 3MM TO INCREASE THE OFFSET TO 38+ FROM +35. (TAKE IT FOR WHAT ITS WORTH) THEN YOU CAN GO GET THE WHEELS PUT ON, TAKE THE CAR TO A SHOP THAT CAN ROLL THE FENDERS FOR YOU....AFTER THAT, TAKE IT TO A PLACE THAT CAN DO REAR CRADLE ALIGNMENTS. jUST ASK THEM AND THEY WILL KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. (KEEPS YOUR CAR FROM GOING DOWN THE ROAD COCKIDE). MIGHT AS WELL GET THE FRONT END ALIGNED ALSO WHILE YOUR AT IT!

AND THEN YOU WILL BE ALL SET.

i just got some tsw thruxtons and they are the same 18x8/9.5 staggered set up. the rear ones are a +48 et (were milled 3mm to a better offset) and still needed to do very minor work to the back

If you get 5/16" drag springs you won't have to worry about the 9.5" fitting :) that's if your not looking to lower the car. Just did it this past weekend, no issues whatsoever.

That That Is What I Ment! +48 On The Rear, Not 38. Sorry

If this whole offset things doesn't make sense to you, check out the TSW website and they have a video that is excellent at explaining what exactly it is and means
