No rubbing at all and plenty of room on the rear for the 275 which will also filled the wheel better , as for the ride height in not really sure the car came set up like that 👍🏼9️⃣9️⃣3️⃣

I can't for the life of me, understand how a WB offset on a 10" rear wheel fits a NB car?

Rudified magic?

Pretty simple.

10" 47et has the same outside lip placement as an 11" et60... which fit... with a 285/30-18...

I suspect you'd probably also need a smidge of negative camber and tire shoulders that were somewhat rounded. Maybe even suspension with less-to-little travel. So, yeah maybe a little magic, maybe a little massaging, who knows!

18x10" et 47 isn't really a WB offset. Wheels will tuck way too much. On my factory 18x10 et 40 WB twists, I added 15 mm spacers for a final ET 25. Looks 10x better and no rubbing.

Exactly this. I run like neg 2.3 in rear and I run KW V1's pretty low but with less travel and an H&R swaybar in rear.

I can't believe this simple thread has spawned two for sale replies for two incredible iris blue NB examples. Rich and Rudy, just wow!!

I'm in your camp Rich. Like Rudy, I run 18x10 ET 47 on my NB. I've got some fun and slight (but not obnoxious) negative camber setting, aligned and corner balanced on a schedule, but I'm not as low as you. Running the same Techarts as you too -- sacrifices must be made for some rear lip on a NB!

Sorry Davie for derailing your WTB thread!
