Wanted to get some opinions from all you crazy guys running insane fitments.. lol I'm looking to run some new R comps and wheels next year. Right now I'm running RPF1 18x9 +35 with 255/35 Hoosiers.. Next year, I'm debating on running 18x10.5 +15 with 295/30... I'm not slammed like a house hit by a tornado, but I'm relatively low. Picture below to give ideas. (it seems that's as low as the Ohlin coilovers want to go...?)

Think it'll be possible, or should I try for the 18x10 +38 instead with the 295/30? I prefer the 295/30 over the 285/30 because the 295 is only .1" wider, but it's slightly taller, which appeals to me for the gearing advantage...Not much, but it's something. Camber is -2.8 in the front and -2 in the rear. Anyways, thanks for the help!

lol, it doesn't look that low

the 295 is what I'd use, but you will need to flare or cut the fenders for +15 for sure and then still have issues.
I wouldn't go any further out than +38 because you won't want to run that much more rear camber ... even with
those goofy spring rates Remember I ran 10.5+ 45 with 265s in STU and the wheel lips just cleared in and
out without any fender changes. As you go further out and taller the tire will hit the back of the front wheel well
before full lock and also have interference issues with the rear bumper locating tab in the back.

I am extremely jealous of you, i had just barely dropped my sII and working on a new set of wheels for my car. did you have to pull the fenders to fit those?

*edit* i can't get over the fact on how sick it looks god...i hate you.

They're not that goofy spring rates :P And I didn't know what you ran in STU, that was pretty much before I knew you. So recommending the 18x10 +38 RPF1 with 295/30, eh? Alright, thanks man. I'll just have to roll some more love into the fenders, eh?

lol did you miss the part where I said that's as low as the Ohlin's go? Yeah, as baller/gangsta the 18x10.5 +15 would look, while being HELLA FUNCTIONAL... I'll just probably play it safe with the 18x10 +38. Thanks for the help guys. :D

Zelse, to put it bluntly, the 295's won't fit with 10.5 +15 on our car. It would be a squeeze even with wider fenders. Go for the +38... you will still have your hands full getting that to fit without rubbing

And those are actually 295 or what? I don't know how those fit compared to the same size street tire.

J's right, it will take a lot of work. If you can find a 18x10 +45 or something that would help even more.

I forget who it was who had 18x10 +30 with 245/40 but I know it took some work to fit well.

And they probably didn't take it to the track and get full compression of the suspension + turn. I will be impressed if it is done on stock fenders.
