I've got 9" up front +30 and they could go a little farther I think

That's the same with mine. 9" +30. I kind of want to camber mine a little bit. Make them poke.

I don't think they should stick out much further than 9" +30. Mine might be lower offset but the width is 1/4" less.

i think you could pull off that offset with camber.

do you have adjustable pillowball mounts?

Nope, no adjustable mounts. I've never seen anyone with any kind of gp coils have them, but it would definitely be nice

I'm jelly. I'm starting to drool over wheels and this isn't helping lol. I'm going to get everything out of my Eibachs that I can, if I'm happy with it then no coils, the roads here are bad enough.

Haha thanks! The roads around here aren't too bad, theres a few spots that really shake my car bad, but I think the eibachs look real good on your car.
 
Your gonna need coilover covers and white lithium grease for the front. I got these: Gearheads Online :: HRP :: HRP Coilover Covers for Evo X

You will understand as soon as a few rain showers hit the thrust bearings and you get the poping sound when you turn the wheel. I white lithium greased mine up and worked it in, haven't heard a peep out of them since especially with the covers on. Use the ones marked rear on the front and the ones marked front on the rears, its a tight fit but it works.

Mine don't look like they poke as much as yours, then again I don't have a lip and let my camber fall wherever it is with the Eibachs, I never got any of those camber bolts, you can definitely see it on the rear.

Thanks, I'm going to at least get coils in the front, I'm happy with the rear since the springs sag a little anyways. Plus maybe new wheels by the end of summer if I get this raise.

Okay thanks for showing me these. I already had the popping noise problem and it's pretty loud haha. Part of my problem though was that I didn't pay attention when I got them and they had come assembled with the bearings at the top of the spring between it and the rubber seat. So when I installed them, the rubber made them not sit flat and they bent a little. But I have new ones now and put them at the bottom and I remembered you mentioning the grease so they're nice and quiet :th_biggrin2:
 
In before all the hater comments on the tire size. Should look great when you're done. If you need alignment help or fender knowledge hit me up.

I'm ready to see a legitimately stanced wbody.

And that offset ain't bad at that width. Told you that you shoulda went to the 9.75" ones. ;)
 
actually offset 20 w/ 8.75'' wide rim shouldnt stick out nearly as much as it would with a 9'' rim.
 


Why are there no pix yet???? HURRY UP!

I wanna see how these ACTUALLY fit. Roll the fenders and pull a little and it should be right up there with the "Hella-flush" look.
 
Looks great, can't wait to see those rims on the car.

In a couple pics it looks like the back needs to go down a little bit to match the front

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I'm starting to wonder if I should have gone with the 9.75 ;) But I was worried about the front fenders mainly and I think 9.75 would have been too much. I can always just add some spacers in the back if I need to.
 
its the rear that causes rubbing problems first. ive seen 10'' wide wheels up front before.
 
Thanks everyone! Sorry things are going a bit slow guys, but I made some progress today and got the tires mounted today and I'll start working on the fenders tomorrow and hopefully get them on! Or at least get some pictures for you guys :p
