You should be able to run up to 275 in the rear, maybe 265, 255? it's up to you.

^unfortunately no, i have seen this set up before and thought it was pretty clean. I don't think it was rolled - though it looked pretty flush. It would really depend on your drop as well.

Alright, figured I'd make this my first post. I've read alot, and probably come first of the year, I'll be ordering new rims for the 8. I've found the wheels I want, but I'm not sure if the offsets are where they need to be, and I need a recommendation on tire size.

F: 19x8.5 +35
R: 19x9.5 +35

The car is stock height for now, but will probably get put on Tein S-Techs, something that drops a little bit, but nothing extreme.

You can run up to 255 in the front, up to 275 in the rear. Are you gonna roll your fenders?

here's what I'm thinking of doing. (dropped on konis + s-techs)

19x8.5 +38
19x9 +35

Probably do 245's up front and 275's in the rear.

I've got quite a bit of negative camber going so not sure on the roll / shave.
I might get a slight fender roll just to play it safe. not sure yet, pricing out wheels now.

You'll need to roll the rear, front should be fine.

The front's should be fine but you will need a little roll in the rear. Depending on how low you are.

sitting on swift springs so .8 drop - it's a relatively soft spring but i plan on getting stiffer suspension soon.

i really don't want to deal with fender roll...
