18"s on a 1G
I know people have put 18s, and bigger, on 1st gen DSMs
Could you fit 18" x 8" rims (assume correct offset) without rubbing on the suspension (shock body/spring perch seem to get really close)? Well I guess with the correct offset, I think it has to be 42mm or more... well the more positive the offest the further the wheel will more away from the shock body, right? |
Re: 18"s on a 1G
Yes, + puts the rim further out, - pulls rim in.

Re: 18"s on a 1G
I have +32 and 17x8's on my 1g. Size should be the same as long as you size the tires correctly. I am running 235/45 tires.

Re: 18"s on a 1G
i went from 17's to 18's on my 2g and my 60 foot times dropped between one and two tenths of a second. just something to consider when thinking 18's.

Uhm, maybe you worded that wrong? But from that I get you improved your 60ft times by switching to 18"s. I'll never be the fastest, so I really don't care how much it'll hurt performance. boo frickin hoo. But thanks! |
Re: 18"s on a 1G
woops yea i meant the 60 foot increased with the 18's. i was doing 1.6 to 1.7 sixty foots with 17's and 1.7 to 1.9's with 18's.
