Aggressive Wheel Fitment Thread

So here's a serious question, I'm all but certain I'm pitching my air ride and going back to being static, I've got 19x8.5 +36 in the front and 19x9.5 +29 in the rear, if I did want to push my wheels out a hair with the new suspension how would I know what size spacer to get? I didn't spec the wheels I have now (Lazi did) but it does seem they're borderline aggressive when the car was lowered on s-techs (compared to being aired out etc.)
This is a shot I took when I had smaller tires on them:
I've since gone up a size front (235/35)and rear (265/30), and I rolled the fenders as well.

any shots on how flush the front wheels sit? your front rims are the same size/offset as the ones i was looking for my front.

fronts are 19x8.5 +36 I believe, that picture was taken when I was lowered on Tein S techs and stock shocks. I had a tiny bit of camber as you can see, right now with the air ride setup I have they're way more sunk in due to more camber etc.
....tell me will 18x9+15 be hard to fit on the rear?

18x9 +15 will fit easy.. a simple fender roll should do just fine..
you could run with a 225, or 235/40
and coilovers would help.
its pretty simple dude.
dont think just do!

JUS ROLL YOUR FENDERS!!!!
the lower the offset the more your rim sticks out.. the higher the number the more they sink in..
225,235, will have a stretch,
245 not so much

I think that's his point, it's not as easy as simply rolling the fenders. When things start to get aggressive in the rears, the carpet fender liner and bumper connection points start coming into play quite a bit.

I owned some nt03's for about a week before they were stolen, but they were sexy!

Fn's are fanboy dorifto wheels, at least here anyway, I see them on just about everything, almost worse than when spinners were popular. I think the Rpf01's are dope, I see them alot as well but on a different crowd/type of car, what about these or some CCw's?

You could get baller fitment and they'd be light as crap, probably too much $$$ if it's just for track wheels though
