scarslett: for the offset you can go any where between +35 to +45 w/no problem. I'm currently running +35 on 18x8.5 all around w/245/40 w/no fender modification on a lowered application. Pic's are floating around some where on this site.
mazdarx8_04: Both will fit w/265/30's (tight tho depending on drop). w/a roll and some camber. I prefer the 18's though because they're more practical and inexpensive when it comes to tires. Apparently there's a pretty noticable price difference. That is unless you really wanna go for looks n' have the cash to burn then the 19's would be my choice.

ha ha...cant wait for all the brake dust from the carbotechs...lols
Thanks man...I really really really like them too...always wanted these...but they are toooooo expensive for my taste...finally pulled a trigger on a deal i couldn't refuse....
yes I will be test fitting them shortly. Deciding on tires. but pretty sure that I will go with a 255/40/17.
265/40/17 is hard to find...and i am still not sure how it will work with racing.
yeah his stuff is insane...but running those setups on race tracks/autoxs may kill the sidewalls fast.
god damn hes got some beautiful setups......

Also, though i am not 100% sure yet, I may run R compounds, or something with that kind of grip.
Decisions, decisions....

I'm on 18x9.5 +45 and I did not have to roll fenders at all. With the +22 up front, you'll have some fender problems as well as some scrub radius problems, the centerline of the wheel will be too far out from the shock. If you were looking for a dedicated track wheel, should have looked for a +48 offset instead.

I will do some measurements with a 275 wide tire...its tempting. Just not sure if its worth the trouble in butchering up the fenders in my case.

reason being after i spend huge $$$ for light rims and nice meat to put on them i dont want to pay for body mods and have weird handling problems

so TopGear if we get 18x9.5 +45 front and back, what tires would look good / perform well on those, without having to do crazy cambering or roll fenders, etc.?

Tires that look good/perform well would be the Nitto NT05, which is what i'm currently running now. If you don't heavily track and just use them for more street, the Falken Azenis RT-615 will be fine for you. Also check out the Kumho XS, and the Dunlop Direzza Star Spec's.
With some negative camber you shouldnt have to roll fenders in the front, but you will in the back. Over big bumps on the road you will rub.

I'm getting a used package so the 225s are already on there.. So thejew runs 18x10 with 30 offset and doesn't rub? I'm just a newby on the negative camber process, I was hoping they would sqeeze in with maybe some fender liner trimming.... I am at stock ride height

yeah w/stock ride height you can fit damn near anything unless you're in full load (at which point i'm uncertain of because i can't remember what oem spring rates are or what it was like having stock ride height)
but cheah, 18x10 +30 w/225's work w/space to spare. You can get a roll just to be on the safe side to ensure your tire doesn't grab the fender for whatever reason.
