The bad thing is the wheels come in that size then they jump up to a 20" which I don't want to run I like to run them in the 18 but im thinking about the rub with the 18x10.5 but if I can get it to work ill run them

I test fitted the 521 18x8.5 +25 and 18x10.5 +25 the fronts were good just some fender rolling and you could call it a day the rear do need some work but some negative camber trimming the tab and a fender roll and you should be good. The tires that I was using were 245/40 and 275/35. hope this helps
