Re: Hellaflush
I love the look, but in the end I didn't know all that is entailed to get the true hellaflush look. I think I'd have to upgrade to an adjustable suspension first of all.

Understand. So what I gather I would need...
1. Adjustable suspension - I currently have an Eibach set up (shocks and springs no adjustable, so I am already behind the curve.
2. Low offset tires - I had +15 Drag DR-27s that I returned because I didn't want to roll/pull fenders. Having said that, what would a recommended tire size be to pull this off? I was told that 195/50/15 was the lowest recommended because anything lower would be dangerous. Thoughts?
3. Negative camber - which I suppose can be done by installing a camber kit? Can anyone confirm this?
Anyhow, I wasn't prepared to commit to the level of modifications required to complete the vision. I'd still like to pursue it in the future, but not sure if I'd shell out to pay for a new suspension set up. I would pay for lower offset wheels, rolling fenders and possibly lots of camber.

1.) Adjustable coulovers would be the best because you can fine tune the height adjustment.
2.) the +15 offset was too much. You need to measure to see how far out you need to come to meet the edge of the fender. It has to do with rim width and offset not the tire size.
3.) Yes you need a camber kit front and back. One with a lot of adjustment (I don't know specifically with your car how much).
You will probably have to roll the fenders in the rear to keep the tires from rubbing unless you get a different offset in the rear, but then you can't rotate the tires.

-14 degrees of camber or so...
This is maxed out vms camber with shorter locking rings. Camber is about -14 or -15
This is with aftermarket trailing arm, and modified camber arms. Around -18 to -20 camber.
Car now has 10 inch wide wheels in the rear. Changed to vms camber kit because they have more camber adjustment. 2 inch wider wheel on the rear, thus the top of my wheel is angled 2 more inches to keep the fender to lip fitment. Now the car has aftermarket trailing arm and modified camber arms to have even more camber. Added 1 inch spacer to keep fender to lip fitment.
