18X9.5 +35 fitment

I am wondering if a set of 18x8.5 +35 F and 18x9.5 +35 R staggered set would need alot of work to get the 18x9.5 +35 to fit in the rear without rubbing on my 03 CL. Would they fit or would I need to run alot of negative camber and roll the fenders?? Would I be able to run a 235/40R18 tire?? Currently I am lowered on Tein Htechs, but I am going to be getting coilovers. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

my rims arent even running -3 camber and there wider than his. look at my rim specs. no offense but please dont give advice if you dont know what your talking about and i mean that in a not disrespectful way. i know how people can take things the wrong way on here. thats your problem how can you expect to fit those rims with -1.8 camber. i have -2.3 on my 10's. if you know anything about camber thats not a lot at all.

it can be done, no one's saying it can't, doesn't mean it's easy, like diddy said, you'll need to push a LOT of camber

Yeah its still rubbing because your running some fat ass tires. try running 225/45 or 225/40 50 is way to big if you want to lower a car of course anyone would rub. I'm going with a 19x9.5 with a 35 offset im determined to make it fit while car is slammed we'll see how this goes probably -5 degrees in the rear and -3 up front. 225/35/19

Good, 40 is much more reasonable for a drop, 50 is just huge

wow dont go into the rim talk with diddy hahahah you messed up right there... and diddy knows what hees talking about because theres a few guys here that are running more aggressive set-up than he is... osiris just listen to diddy.. and i would put the coils on before i got and put the rims on...
