Earlier in this thread I mentioned that ordered a set of 6112's to level my ORP equipped vehicle. Now I'm thinking wheels (20x10) and tires ~(35x12). My concern is am I going to create too much rubbing. Looking through the Custom Offset site there doesn't seem to be any consistency with leveled suspensions and rubbing. I was thinking that the more negative (-) offset the less rubbing there would be but maybe I'm misunderstanding what's going on here. Will high negative offset (-44 or greater) create rubbing issues on outside of the wheel well whereas too much positive (+18 etc) will create the possibility of rubbing on the inside of the wheel well?

Perhaps I'm pushing it with 35x12" tires but I just seem to like the look. There aren't many who seem to have 35" tires and only at a leveled ride height. There may be a good reason for that.

Thanks,
More positive offset (sucking wheel into the car) you'll likely rub on the steering knuckle/control arm. More negative offset (pushing wheel out) you'll likely to rub on front/rear of wheel well. It's hard to gauge if you will/how much rubbing you'll encounter based off other people's set ups unless you do the identical set up (and hope they're not lying). Amount of lift, wheel size/offset, and tire selection are huge. Not all brands/tires of the same spec size will have the same real world dimensions.

They went quick. They only had a quantity of 4 so I think I got really lucky getting a set..
I didn’t even get an email.... and I’m on the wait list. 😢

I didn't get the email either. I just saw the post above that said the full kit was in stock so I immediately went to their site and ordered them. Who knows if the order will go through.. i hope it does and they didn't over sell them or anything.

Yeah I’m just going to fork up the extra money and get the 6112’s now I’m debating 34 or 35 inch tires. Either will fit but I’m thinking about ride and fuel mileage and looks. So many choices. Either way I’m pulling the trigger in the next couple of weeks and ordering all the goodies

Anybody found some 5100s or 5160s and put them on the rear of their 2021 yet? I'd like some for my 2021 Rebel (that I'm currently running 1" lift in rear with stock shocks), but Bilstein says they've yet to certify anything for 2021 models... due to Covid. I can't imagine the 2021s are any different than 2020, but who knows.

I’ve had a couple shops in my area put the 6112s on the 21s. I have my appointment in a couple days. I’ll post the results

Eibach’s set at 1.8 w/ ORG and Zone UCAs. 275/65’s (34x11) on stock rims. Perfectly level. Adding Timbrens to the back in the future.

How are the ride of the new shocks over the stock Hitachi shocks? Thinking of going Eilbsch in the front and 5160s in the rear.

Rides like a caddy still.
