Thinking of lowering my car more with the 17x9+35's 225/45/17 but they look like they will definitely rub, it's quite weird... I assume they will naturally come in camber wise the lower you go correct ? drft's pics is where it's getting me confused, his fit but with mine they look as if they will go directly on to the fender when I drop it more...

Camber will change but not as much as you think.

With those sizes you shouldnt have any rubbing issues other than the fender liner over bigger bumps.
And your tires are stretched so unless your car is basically on the ground your never going to hit the wheel with the fender unless on some stupid shitty suspension.

So your saying all that keeping in mind stock fender and no roll ? keen to drop the rear more then I'm pretty sure it wont be near the guard it's quite flush though sitting around 90mm from the ground to chassis leg just the rear is at 115mm... want it level. Cheers.

Hey guys, I am currently running XXR 521 (18x10+25's) with a 265/35 tyre at the back and i'm looking at going 285's.
Do you reckon its feasible? I have rolled the guards. Can perhaps roll them a little more. This is the current clearance....

They look wider than my 275/30/19s that i have fitted. My offset is +30 and i had to tap the arch in a tad. Also have 10"s out back.
Don't think i could go wider without a proper roll job getting done.

Looking at a set of wheels

18x9 +24
18x10 +22

How will these fit? Also, what tire sizes do you guys recommend? I'm thinkin 245/40 for the front, and I'm not sure on the rear, I want the widest tire I can fit (gonna be a drag radial).

Has anybody fit 18*10.5 +22 for rears without pulling fenders of course I'm going to need to roll them

It will fit But you can probably only go about 265 for tire width so it will be slightly stretched.

Fit will be agressive. If you want to go with a wider tire in the rear you should find something with a higher offset. For a +22 you can go about 265 with rolled fenders.

If I pull them too Boris will I be able to fit 275 or 285s on the rear?

Ya. Well it also depends on your ride height and alignment you may be able to get away with those sizes with a good roll. If you are willing to pull I say just get what ever tire size you want and see how it sits with just rolled fenders. Then you can always roll it if you need the clearance.
