I've always liked this FC though I can't see myself ever going that route with the 8 exactly...

Bose, how much fender work are you comfortable with doing? Keep in mind, there will be kinks that need sorted out if you go very aggressive (I don't recall what specs you were shooting for).
Truth be told it will take you much longer than 10 minutes per corner to get the work done unless you are capable of working faster than jesus himself.
Madmike's car before the kit, maybe ABP. I wish that guy wasn't standing in front of the rear wheel!

I'm down for a roll and a pull for sure, I have some friends who did it to their fd's so that's no issue, I can cut fender liner and what not. I'm looking at 18x9.5 +20 on 265 35's, maybe do 255's but don't want much more of a stretch than that.

Quick post, because I'm going crazy trying to pick out a set of rims 
I have Hancook 265/35 18 tires that will be here any day, Trying to pick a nice set of rims that will look flush but not stick out much if any. I'm considering:
RPF1 18x9.5 +45
5Zigen FN01R 18x9.5 +35 or +45
5Zigen ZR Proracer 18x9.5 +37
maybe 5Zigen Proracer GN +38 or +43
I think for looks I like the 5Zigen ZR, but they're kinda heavy and I don't know how good the fitment would be.
I'm posting in here because I don't know **** about wheels and I'm not going to pretend I do, thought I'd ask the guys that try all different kinds and sizes
I'm open to wheel suggestions too, I'm sure there's some great wheels out there that I haven't noticed yet, looking to spend between $1,000 and $1,500.

LOL! As this point in time I have way too much respect for my car to be actually ripping the bumper off. I've got multiple places on my road that are WAY worse than that in the first couple miles towards town unfortunately. Gonna be moving to the city in < 1 yr though. No more country bumpkin style.
