So guys, I need some advice on fitment. I found some wheels I like at a good price and want to know if I can fit them (hopefully without any roll/pull/trim and especially no camber).

I will soon be lowered 20mm on the MS springs/shocks.

So here's what I am thinking:
Front: 19x8.5+36 with 245/35R19
Rear: 19x9.5+43 with 255/35R19

Wheels are what they are, tires can change if needed. So, will they fit?

I don't really want a staggered setup, but these might be too nice to pass up if they fit.

I know some of you guys have some crazy fitments, so maybe you can weigh in on something less aggressive like this. Any advice you have would be appreciated.

Awesome, thanks.

So, with the 20 mm drop, you think I could get away with 265/35 rear tires? What about 275/30? I think I'm getting into fender roll territory with the 275s.

I run 285 - 645-18 slicks on 18x9.5 45 offset wheels...and they fit wirh stock wheel arches....but I am running -3.75 deg camber front and 2.5 rear. Car is lowered as far as functional.
I would think you are going to be ok....a roll is an easy way to get some more room and doesn't trash the car

hey guys. I lowered my car and threw some xxr 530s on it. 18x9.5 +20. its rubbing on the back bumper tabs and a little at the pinch weld behind the front fender. for the bumper tabs would you just trim them up or cut them and relocate the bolt.

switch to a 40 sidewall and you wont have any issues. Otherwise you will probably rub a bit on turns depending on camber spec.
If anything, just a fender roll will be needed.

Hey hey hey, lol this is the will it fit section. I wasnt sure if having a +15 offset would need camber arms and **** or put more stress on wheel bearings. I might just buy them in +38 because i dont care much about being hella flush yo'

If you don't care about the HellaTard thing, then get the +38 and put wider tires than the 225's on it. Put some 245/40 or 265/35 on those 18x9 +38.

So will the 19x10 fit?:/ Or should I ask for offset and go from there?

Yes 18x10 will fit. If you you go with an offset from +20 to +30 you'll be fine depending on what size tire you choose. I would recommend a 235/40 or 245/40 depending on how low you are. You would need a fender roll though. If you want to run a lower offset its still totally doable. Even like 18x10 +10 if you run like a 225/40 or 235/40 with some increased camber.

EDIT: Also note that you could run a much higher offset like +40/45 if you want to have a meatier tire.
