optimal rims for aggressive stance..?

Post by randerzz »

Hi!

just wondering, what is the optimal set of rims?

not just make and model, but what specs look the best?

I am wanting a real aggressive stance (lowering maybe about 40-60mm and a hefty camber angle, particularly in the back)
also, how do I change my camber angle? (total newbie over here! :lol: )

height?
width?
ET?

my personal believes; 15x7,5 ET 25-30

personal favorite rims; ats cup, rh cup, schmidt TH-line and revolution.
any other suggestions?

It depends on what look you're going for.

Euro look will have a set of 13" - 15" deep dish rims with stretched rubber, whilst some go for a set of painted cavalier rims.

It all depends on what you like the best!

ok, time to specify :lol:

want the thing to look euro, I mean, it is a European car !
going for 15", mad camber all around, low and wide, stretched tires etc.

what ET would look the best?

how wide can I go without everything rubbing itself too pieces?
(keeping in mind that I am thinking about lowering it about 50mm)

how do i change my camber angle?

cheers

Not very. My car's not lowered at all and I get rubbing with people in the back on my alloys. you'll probably need to roll the arches.

You'll most likely need adjustable suspension.
