+35 IMO

i would say +29 but since you're not lowering your car - i think it'll look kinda funky to have an aggressive setup and a huge wheel gap...

The liner keeps crap from getting into the engine bay and protects the tires. I looked into it due a small rubbing issue on the liner but then backed off because of what is behind the liner

There is stuff behind the wells you do not want your tires rubbing up against!

Cool

Yea.. Your car is sexxy Delicious with those wheels on it.. which is why I even looked at the Axis Matrix wheels in the first place.. They're selling the 20" set of the rose gold one's on ebay for $999.. it's rediculous..

I figured they wouldn't fit but I'm always hopeful of the enthusiast thats like hell yea dude all ya gotta do is.. 1.. and then 2.... and bam..

but ur all just dream crushers..

lol.

now it;s between your exact set of wheels and R1-Drift in a 20" (and the proper offsets.. ) The R-1's 5" lip makes me wanna lick things.. RaWr!

Alright trying to narrow my selections down and reading through 75 pages is just too much for me here at work.
Will 18x9.5 +35 work all the way around? I am lowered on s-techs. If they will, what size of tire do the experts recommend. BTW, by experts I mean all of you as this is the place I come for the correct advice.

If you want it to, you can. 235 or 244 all around

Yeah that will work all around, 275/35 if you are willing to roll the rear, if not anything smaller.

Ok last question I promise.

With a set of Tein S-Techs installed, would 255/35/18 fit front/rear with 18x10 +48 front/rear.

My fiancee says she might get me a set of lowering springs, so I just want to make sure if she does that the wheel/tire combo will fit.


Thanks!
