midnight blue you got a PM

ok that doesn't help your situation. tenzos are made horribly. they're cast wheels which is much weaker than a forged wheel.

^ no..eww....

Personally if you're going to get new wheels you might as well go a step up from what you have..otherwise I think the setup you currently have is fine

Do you want to run 17s or 18s?

Tenzo's are crap. Get wider wheels, spacers are never 100% safe.

is there any way to mold on the flares to allow a wider wheel to not rub in the front...like if i mold it and cut out the bottom?

gerardo_tx

i think u should do 18x9
im running on 18x8


just get the right tire! aha maybe 215/35

gerardo_tx

lol they look weird, maybe those could go with the xb2 ...

Im thinking 19 would look great. I have a 19 x 8.5 front and a 19 x 9.5 rear and love the look. Got mine at monarch-wheels.com




midnight blue can you post some more pics of your tC during the day with the fender flares I would like to see thoes a bit more better or just PM me with them.

That depends on what type of wheel spacers you have and if they are properly setup. If you torque them down regularly you should be fine. I personally run 25mm Ichiba Hub centric spacers in the front, and 15mm Goldline Hubcentrics in the back. They are the adapter kind and I have done about 4 autocross events on them so far. I run the stockies on 225/45 615's and I occasionally rub during harsh bumps or very hard turns.

But to the op, if you plan on keeping your wheels I would do spacers, if you do them right you should have no problems with them and they would save you a ton of money rather than buying new wider wheels and tires.

sorry for the late post but imma get some pics up as soon as i can get the camera and time lol (school and work)

tc-guy

if you do spacers, just change out your wheel studs to match the size of the spacer and it should be ok. for example the stock studs are 30mm in length i believe so if you get a 50mm extended stud you should be able to run 20mm spacers and be safe as long as you torque the wheel down.

i'm thinking of doing this to my work vs-xx's. they have a high offset from a subaru and i want to flush them out a lil.

whorok305

can u put up pics of the back side? ive been thinkin of getting these. It does need wider wheels though

i must say, those fenders do not look as bad as i thought they would. dont use spacers, just get the wider rims lol. too complicated with spacers of extending studs and how much mm spacer you want etc...

rosedaleny806

fenders look pretty good i wonder howd they look with the GFX kit
