That doesn't sound to bad to me.... I would say either 245/40 f&r or 225/45 front and 245/40 rear. You're going to need to work the fenders a bit more if you are lowered very much in order to track it.

edit* Just saw your car isn't lowered yet... yea thats gonna look kinda goofy

Thankyou for your replys, I'm willing to do everything that I need to get a nice fit and look. Its not my daily anymore but I definitely agree it will look dumb as hell if its not dropped. I'm hoping to get some coilovers instead of springs, I was just trying to get something to get it on the road quicker that I can resell when I order some coilovers. Anyways thanks a lot for the replys again, sorry for not searching, I was just looking for best fit for my application.

I would say go with the +22 offset on the 10.5's. Thats almost a perfect size/offset combo for our 8's. After that is just about tire size and camber.
If you're running 10.5's, I would say got with 245/35/19.
Alright, cool. Thank you for the advice, as well as the patience. Cheers!

Would 18x7.5 5x114.3 offset +43 be fine with stock height?

Your setup is less aggressive than stock.

you shouldn't be so negative.

what you mean to say is his setup is simply more passive than stock.

It's actually quite sedated.

im pretty sure this has been asked already but i don't want to sit here and go through 349 pages to look for my answer.

originally i was looking at 18 x 9.5 +40 im lowered on tein s techs and koni shocks. i wanted to just switch my current tires over. theyre 245/40. will that set up rub at all? any fender rolling?

if it does require work, would 18 x 9 + 45 help? thanks

Dolan should be used as a term in fitment.

"Those fenders got Dolan'd"
