I'm currently on Tein S springs and stock alignment. If those rims will fit, what tire would be recommended? I'm looking for more of a flush look. Thanks

I have no idea. they do not tell the offset. that being said they seem to be asking full price with little details on fitment. I ordered mine in a custom fitment with the color, bore and spacing of my choice for not much more the the link above. Hit up Rav spec for kick *** customer service.
Old post I know, but Shady you remember the tire specs on those? Assuming a fender roll was required? How were they for rubbing?
Shady's car is at my house We did roll his fenders but rub depends on height, spring stiffness, etc. he really doesn't have an issue with rubbing. But he got rid of the crappy Powertrix (bushings failed after like a year), we are going to rebuild his car and so for now it has stock suspension on it. He will likely go with KW V3's this round, that is what he got for his S4.

Beauty so sounds like your the man to talk to.... What were the tire specs?
You think they would rub with S-Techs on Koni Yellows? That photo of the WB perfect looking IMO. I'm trying to get a few ideas for wheels that I want to buy this winter. Also looking at some SSR GTV01's.
The tires are 265/35-18. It would rub with lowering springs under load, the spring rates are way too soft. The Koni's also tend to sag so it is likely lower than a normal 8 with S techs. You definitely need adjustable coilovers.

This is how it sat.
So that is on Koni's and S-Techs?

That is one sexy photo.... I'm not set on the F14's by any means either, stuck between some TE37's or some SSR GTV01's too. Honestly all three of those will look great I just want to make sure a get as flush as I possibly can with no worries of rubbing... I have enough rubbing to worry about with this bad boy.....
26x10 on 305/30/R26.

No that is on powertrix coilovers. I was just making a general statement as I know from when I had S techs with a 18 x 9.5 +27 with a 245/40-18 tire and I rubbed.
If you want to stay with 18's then a 18 x 10 or 18 x 9.5 in the +25 thru +30 range with a 265/35-18 is a good setup.
This is Houstonrx8er's car, he makes the SARX coilovers and his rims are 18 x 10 +30 (ish) with a 265/35-18 Pilot Sport. he is running 10k springs up front and 7k rear.
This is Hoss-05's 2005 that has a 18 x 10 +42 with a 265/35-18 Nitto NT-05. he is on Fatcat Motorsports coilovers and is more of a function first kind of guy so his car sits a bit higher. his spring rates are custom, I don't recall what rates.

Okay cool thanks for the advice. I'd actually prefer to go with some 19's; would you be able to save a brotha some time and give me a nice little range like that for the same widths in 19"??
Also I literally just bought the Koni's and recieved them last week so I'd like to stick with those and my teins, especially with how roads can get up here making stiff spring rates a nightmare.
Are you able to send me a link for more info on the SARX coilovers so I could take a look at them?
I can't here send me a pm and I will give you his contact info. 19's will look pretty silly with lowering springs to be honest. And it depends on if you want a staggered setup or a squared setup.
