Coilovers dropped ~2" all around, 265/30f 275/30r maybe 285 rolled fenders and cut off the bumper tabs should work

Work CR kai 18x9.5 +38 all around

Not sure how I'll be dropping but probably 0.5-1.0"

Recommended tire sizes if I like the look of the tires shown here?

.5-1.0" is so weak. You'll wish for more.

I can't get any more due to the roads where I live. Already have scraping problems on stock setup.

18x10 +18 with 265/35/19 .... Dropped about 1.5'' - 2'' Max on coilovers. Would a pull be needed ?? All im willing to do is roll and shave tabs. No pulling or liner removal. Let me know if theyll fit please.

I can also get 18x10 +38 is my other option but i think the +18 will look much better. Im looking for a flush look but not hella poke.

+18 is gonna poke big time. Look at my most recent pics and imagine the wheel being 1/2" farther out and that's 10+18 with a 2" drop (not to mention the tires). 10+38 will definitely work and if it's not aggressive enough for you use spacers?

Maybe you should move or drive slower or avoid the bad spots? I can't imagine a place much worse than Houston or out in the middle of no where like my parents' house.

Thanks J !!!! Ive seen 18x10 +18 before and they look flush but im assuming these guys mess with their camber alot so it looks flush i guess lol.


In your opinion though. Would you say the 18x10 +38 will loook aggressive ?

My definition of aggressive is different from other people. I'd want +38 with 275s and a small spacer.

If I want any new aero parts in the future I wouldn't be able to get in or out of my driveway. Instead of giving me lowering advice can you just answer my original question?

I came here for an answer not to have someone attempt to convince me to do something that I won't be doing.

No issues at stock height. When you get the coils in the future you might need to roll fenders.
