Dude, this is the only point of having Megan coilovers, IMO. Buy two of the 17x10+20 and the Megan 25mm extended brackets that I posted on the previous page for you and do a test fit.

If it works, great, buy two more 17x10's. If it doesn't work, buy yourself two 4 lug 17x9+20 XXR 006's for the fronts. The 006's and the 526's look similar enough to pull it off and fool the untrained eye anyway.



Think outside the box, mane! Ain't nuthing wrong with staying 4 lug!

True, I'll probably end up buying a pair to test fit. Why didn't I think of that. haha. I have 25mm spacers on deck so I really wouldn't mind grabbing the +35, but I wanted that fat ass lip all around. Yum.

I don't know why, but it seems like you're not understanding me. You have Megan Track coilovers. Megan makes extanded brackets that replace the ones that are currently on your coilovers. These extended brackets give you 25mm more backspace than normal.

So, in theory, if your Megan's previously barely cleared 17x9.5+12 wheels, with the extra 25mm extended brackets, you would gain an extra 25mm of space between your wheel and coilover without pushing the wheel any closer to/or past the fender. The brackets were created SO YOU DON'T NEED TO USE SPACERS!!!

If you buy the 17x10+20 wheels and use 25mm spacers, that gives you effectively 17x10-5 wheels. That's wide-fender, rubberband tire & rediculous camber territory. If thats what you want... fine. But me? I'm aiming at the same wheels with 245/40 tires fitting under stock fenders. This is the reason those Megan extended brackets exist...

Not sure how, but you completely missed the point I was making. No, I was showing Nismoman that a mixed and matched set of wheels can look good if you put thought into it... Like mixing and matching 17x9+20 006's with 17x10+20 526's. Just showing ppl more options.

Nahhh man, It's nothing but a mutual misunderstanding.

I meant IF I bitch ouot an go for the 17x9 +35, I have a 25mm spacer to make an effective 17x9 +10. No way I'd rock 17x10 -5, lol.
