What to consider to achieve arch to lip fitment
Fender to lip or hellaflush, is a term used to describe a specific style of wheel fitment on a car, characterised by the wheels being pushed as far out as possible towards the fenders. Achieving this look typically requires using a combination of different wheel fitment parameters, such as using a low offset, wide wheels and tyres, and potentially using suspension modifications to allow for more clearance.
Here are the steps to work out hellaflush wheel fitment:
-
Determine the bolt pattern of your car's wheels. This will ensure you select wheels that will fit onto your car's hub.
-
Choose wheels with a low offset. This will push the wheels out further towards the fenders, giving the hellaflush look.
-
Choose wider wheels than your car's original specs. This will give a more aggressive stance and make the tire to fit better with the fender.
-
Make sure the wheels clear your car's suspension and brake components. This is especially important when using a low offset, as it can cause clearance issues.
-
Choose a tyre with the right size, it's important to make sure that the tire width and diameter match the wheel size and offset.
-
Check the tyre-to-fender clearance, you'll want to make sure there is enough clearance between the tire and the fender to avoid rubbing or other issues.
