how do you relocate a bolt? do you have to weld a new bracket or JB weld some brackets on?

why didnt you go 275s? would that have been too much?

I am sure a 275 street tire will fit no problem. I picked a 265 so I can swap the tires on to my other wheels with out being too large for a 9.5 wheel.

I plan to try a set of 275 slicks on it this summer.

Trimmed the fender seam just past where the bolt is and just drilled a new hole through the fender and bumper seam. It's now held together with a zip tie

. Has worked great for the past 4 years.

I was hoping to see some 17/18x11's in here! Such disappoint.

How wide are the evo's that there is no poke going on?

^ I believe you are looking for the stance thread sir.

You won't find much "poke" in this thread. Sorry for such dissappoint.

Hmmm to fit them? They're on currently and I have no rubbing issues with my slight roll. The tire doesn't rub that rear bolt either. I can fit my finger between them.

theyre talking about once you get coilovers on there lol.
im running 17x9.5 +15 and have a slight pull in the rears plus roll/slight pull in the fronts and my rears just rub on bumps or decent articulation. gonna have to shave and relocate the bumper seem bolt for sure

Just like someone said "onces you get coilovers". I've had 3 sets of these wheels of course different color but yeah they r a pain to fit.

18x9 +30 is good. thats what i run, with coilovers. just have the rear rolled. i'm considering doing a bolt relocate, but where I sit, its perfect in my eyes.
