the front will rub if you're REALLY low but for the most part you should be fine

I'm going to have the front and rear fenders rolled and am hoping to get as flush with the fenders as possible. The car will be lowered on coils with no finger gap on the drop.

what do you guys think?
You'll need to pull the front, but you'll be fine. Really weird setup tho.

what wheels are they?
Why not something like a 19x8.5 +35 - 38. Then you can run a 245 tire

Ok getting ready to get tires for the wheels I'm getting and I want to make sure they'll be ok.

18x10 +48 all around

Am I going to need to run a 265/35 or 255/35 all around to be ok.

Car is stock height and won't be lowered for awhile.

A few questions: I'm getting new tires for my stock 18" rims and I'm wondering which dimension I should get for good grip. Can I go with xxx/35 on the stock rims? Is 255/xx too much? What's the ideal size?

Ok guys, you helped me out on the wheels, I need springs now.... I posted a picture of the car on post #1808 (Damn.... is there really that many!!?)

f: 19x8.5 w/ 36 offset 225/35/19
r: 19x9.5 w/ 42 offset 245/35/19

With the wheels being 19's now, the car sits a little higher... I got the side aero flares that I need to put on, which won't make it look as high.... but I want to lower the car but not sure what springs to get due to ride height vs wheel size (more concerned about rear height).... Also, didn't want to compromise driveability too much, so spring rate should be taken into consideration... the tires I have now have about 70-80% left, will be on for a while, but i wanted to maybe get a little taller tire when the time comes to help fill the gap.... what springs would you guys recommend?

^I would say some swift springs, they will lower your car by .8" all around, so you won't be too low.

Here's what I'm looking at doing:

19x8.5 - 225 or 235/35/19 - 35mm offset for the front
19x9.5 - 245 or 255/35/19 - 35mm offset for the rear

Will they be flush, stick out a little bit or be in a little bit on the wheel well and will I have to roll my fenders? My car isn't lowered yet. But, will be in the near future with the Tein Basic coilover kit. Thanks for any and all help!

It'll stick in a little bit, you'll be close with 9.5 +35 all around. 245 will be fine.
