You mean like these Volk SE37W's I just picked up? (They came off of a damaged Nissan Skyline).

Those are definitely unique, I meant more like a rounded concave, like Advan RS or Work CR Kai. I like those, but expensive. The 5Zigen ZR+520's are more affordable but they're 29 lbs.... I may just go with the black Enkei's because they're aggressive and lightweight, although not my favorite look.

i am looking at some sprint springs with a 2" drop in the front and rear. i am running:

255/35/18x8.5 +35 in the front.
265/35/18x9.5 +35 in the rear.

Will these fit/rub. I know i will prob need a roll but what about camber? anybody have this set up? any input would be greatly appreciated.

^With a roll and a bit of negative camber(somewhere around -1.3 to -1.6) Which will still give you pretty even tire wear. You'll be fine.

Set up as in suspension? I'm on Stance GR+ coilovers and Racing Beat Sway bars.

Side note, If you autox you should come to the NCAC (North Carolina Autox Championships) in Greensboro October 10-11th

Hey TopGear, you probably saw me asking in my other thread, but here goes:
265/35 18x9.5 +38 all around
or
265/35 18x9 +40
I will probably do a few auto-x events next year and I don't want a setup that makes me run too much negative camber to ruin my tires right away. I also want them to look good, trying to get the best of both worlds, lol.
I found a really good price on a set of RP03's... $1180 shipped.
I haven't given up on the RPF1's yet, but this would save me $320 and I wanna get some sways by spring

^Both will look good. Obiviously the 18x9's will fit much easier and will not require a roll no matter how low you go. But they will not stick as far out as the 18x9.5. So really you just need to decide what your looking for.

18x9.5 +38 - Wider, More responsive because you wont have as much sidewall flex as you will putting a 265 on a 9" wheel. Would have to run a bit more camber to get them to fit without a roll.

18x9 +40. Wont require any change in camber, You'll be able to run STX when you AutoX, Will not be "as" aggressive as the other, but none the less it will still be aggressive. Check out BRODA, i'm pretty sure hes on 18x9 +40 and his wheels look good.

Some people run 265/35 on 9.5+38 and didn't have to roll. I have some pics of the 9.5 +38 in my album on 245s (supposed to go on stock rims).

Not too bad actually. I don't like it, but it's within the specs of the tire.

I might be able to get my hands on a set of Veilside Turbine alloys in
2 off 8.5 x 19 et 35 tyres 235/35
2 off 9,5 x 19 et 35 tyres 265/30
Will they fit or do I need to mess around rolling the archs and screwing with the camber
