Imo, stick with the 265's and go with an fender roll (completely flat) - you do not need a pull however you may need to do some work w/camber numbers on the front.

A variant to consider is the spring/rebound rate of the coils you're currently on. The 265's will work however if you're on a soft setting on the coils you're probably gonna brush the fenderwells @ load or at full lock.

Fender roll, Slight to moderate pull, fender tab shave.

Neg camber will vary between -2.5 to -3 iirc.

You can run 255's to 265's depending on brand.


^This is based on lower than s tech suspension

Fuz,
whats the problem? clear cut directions. I've seen many people run this set up on coilovers and if you search this thread some one else asked about this set up and J8635621 simply said no and not why. Atilla gave me an idea of how much work in what specific areas. (exactly the info I needed) Sorry, No Noob here! Try again tommorrow

What makes you think my post had anything to do with you? Maybe, just maybe i was ******* with Atilla.

If i wanted to call you a noob, i simply would have.

For the first time ever, i will actually give advice in this thread instead of picking on J8675309 and Atilla.

Go lower if you want it to look right.

18x8.5 +32 all around, 225-45-18 for tires

Plan on installing s-techs as well.

Will these fit, give me a decent flush, and not require rolling?

It'll fit. It wont give an "aggressive" fitment but should be just/almost flush with the fender. I recommend like a 245-40-18 tire for a better look and grip though.

Will 18x8.5 with a 25 offset cause any issues or will I fit fine. And what is the best tire size for that set up?

Just out of curiosity...why are you looking for an 8.5 wheel w/a low offset? Why not run a wider wheel w/a higher offset?

Just seems a bit ridiculous when people ask for a narrow wheel w/aggressive offsets when they can simply get a bigger wheel n' modest offset n' have a better balance of looks n' purpose.

If it's cost then i can't imagine a company would punish you with a bigger price tag from going up half an inch from an 8.5 set.
