Will It Fit Thread
I just got 245/40s installed on my 18x9.5+38 will these fit on stock suspension with out a fender roll? or should i just roll them to be safe? I am planning on getting tanabe gf springs hopefully sooner than later but would i just have to get them rolled when i got those installed?
thanks for the help

18x9+35 (without spacer) (maybe this just needs a 5mm slip on spacer?)

Seriously, how do you drive with a lowered car? I've already scratched the underside of my front-splitter twice at stock height, just from hitting a dip and hitting one of those wider kinds of speed bumps. If I lowered my ****, I would literally not have a front/rear bumper, side skirts, or an undercarriage in less than a week. O.o Hawaii has the 8th-worst roads out of all 50 states... Maybe I could lower an inch or so once I move to Cali..? Where do you live that you can have a lowered car and not have it absolutely ravaged by the road?

The trick to driving a lowered car is 75% driver and 25% planning. I've seen people scrape in a damn stock SUV around here.
Hoosier - you don't need much suspension travel when the car isn't taken off any sweet jumps like shady wants to do. (Your bumpstops would hit before you hit the ground)

Alright, here's my next attempt.
18x9 +20 all around WedsSport SA-55m
265/35 r18 Advan AD08's
On Bilstein PSS9 coilovers lowered all the way (guessing 1" drop)
I'm willing to do a fender roll, I just want to know if I need to do that first.
plz give me the lip bite thumbs up vin diesel

Nah man bone stock suspension, I removed the sway bars for added off road handling as well.

Is there a specific thread consolidated with the different mods required for major lowering and agressive offsets? i.e. fender rolling, liner cutting, mounting tab shaving, etc.
I had no problem with my setup before, but now i am lowering quite a bit more and i can see clearances being an issue.
Currently running 18x10.5 +43 and 265/35/18 all around with S-techs switching to coilovers.

3 different choices:
18x9.5 Face 2 +35 (54mm, distance between calipers and spokes)
18x9.5 Face 2 +43 (46mm)
18x9.5 Face 3 +22 (52mm) (Face 3 is more concave, would look better)

Tire size...?
245/40/18
255/40/18
275/35/18
My suspension is a little jacked up right now, the rear springs are barely enough to handle the vehicle's weight + me, but I'll get that fixed before I put these on. The whole car is lowered about an inch and a half on Tenabe coilovers

I am new to the whole scene and was wondering if getting XXR 530's 18x8.75 +33 for my RX8, if that will be flush or not? I am NOT on stock height but I am not sure how much I am lowered bc the car was purchased like that. Also what size tires would you suggest?

It should sit in a good spot without rubbing. 245/40
