Aggressive Wheel Fitment Thread

Alright ya'll remember this quote?
Since I'm still on the Spring Springs(2" Drop), but will soon be getting Stance's, I'm tryin to see if the tire size is still going to be good to go. I've already removed the fender wells, will be borrowing a friends roller, and I'm prepared to shave the rear bumper mount thingy.
Going to try them just by themselves in the +18, then try them with my +5mm spacers I have, and a buddy is letting me borrow his +15mm and +20mm spacers.
I've also decided to go with an all flat black wheel in the same style.
And don't worry, the CCW setup will happen, just have to see what is going on with Panspeed.
So I'm thinking about selling my current wheels/tires, and going with the same wheels I have now but in a different color scheme and offset.
Figuring 18x10 +18 w/ the same 245/40s and in a Black face w/ Polished lip theme.
I know I'm going to have to remove the fender wells for these. With the -3* camber up front and -3.5* out back, am I going to need much in the way of a roll/pull? I'm figuring a roll is gona be the minimum I'll need, but not totally sure.

It'll fit and with out going that aggressive camber in the front too.. Spacer will be pushing it, the wheels will already be pretty much poking at the size/offset you are going with.
Shaving the rear bumper mount isn't an option, it will have to be done.
Your biggest issues is with springs you wont have the stiffness offered from coilovers so just be careful in the turns. If you at least have sways it will help.

Had never seen this flare before, I guess its a result of them fxcking the fenders in the first place...

c41250n, you really outdid yourself. it's a sweet look. the only thing that i'd recommend for your car in terms of the exterior is changing the sideskirts. for some reason, the veildside sideskirts do not seem to flow well with your car. i think the ings or the autobahn sides would look nasty on your car.
