There's an odd prevalence of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas references here. Great book and movie. Sorry, I have nothing to add relevant to the thread.

haha true!

I mean, do those honestly not touch the fenders under compression?

This is a basic outline of my build plans:

I think you should do it and report your findings here Nate.

Look at those clown wheel setups! I bet they're slow on the track.

Lol yea it's Beau's car (BBR Tuning) and mine, that's why I posted it.

yea see those cars look good as track builds to me, and they both have lots of camber and low ride height to make it work.

I have some 18x10 ET25s with 275s on them in my garage lol.

Proper. As a fellow e46 track guy myself, it sounds like I'd catch a lot of shit for the 18x9.5 275/35 I am running on -3.3 camber. I don't care however, as I'm quite sure I'll be quicker around WSIR.

Don't you guys rub the inner wheel well liner up front when you have a good amount of steering input?

Pretty sure they trim that to make fitment better.

I rub slightly at the rear of the front wheel well under certain steering angles. I plan on going slightly lower at my next alignment which should solve that. Plenty of people with fender liners intact with similar set ups don't rub, but you can also trim the fender liners too.

There's something to be said about the "old head" forum mentality--so many people are ultra conservative when it comes to wheel and tire fitment, it appears as though we're stuck in 2006.

most people wouldn't consider running a 9.5" front wheel to be ultra conservative lol, more like u guys running 10"+ front wheels are bleeding edge

Ya'll getting squirrely over some wide 18's.

When I start talking about wide 17's that's when folks lose their minds.

it doesn't rub, definitely.

but each person would see what he want.
