would it require a fender pull to have 18x9.5 +35 in the rear i know the fronts would be good. just askin since you have air ride. im gonna run ksports with camber kit in the rear.
so thatll be free

hahaha good one lol
i didnt have to have pulled fenders, i just rolled em with a baseball bat. so that was free. well, i bought the bat from salvation army for a dollar and ive rolled over 12 different cars with it, so... it was near free :P
tire size dude, 18x9.5 225-40-18 will work.... for more stretch (but less meat) 225-35-18 would be sick too. or 215-40-18... might look too small for your liking tho

its compromise.
without a pull, more camber, with a pull less camber. more camber = more toe; more toe is bad, more camber isn't (to an extent).
beefier tires means more camber or a pull
skinnier tires means less camber, or even a pull and even less camber.
u get my point.

yea camber in rear to adjust inwards i want 40 series but if that means excess wear in the rear then i might get the pull. we'll see what happens. great info guys thanks
thats it with that answer this is the greatest aggressive wheel setup thread there is def should be stuck.

im going to have pic's soon of tsw bremma's 19x9.5 +25, 245/40 Rear, 19x8.5 +30, 225/40 front.
they aren't for my car, they are for my brother's lexus...but we are going to test fit them on my lowered TL for the hell of it. (wish i had a rear camber kit)

without a camber kit you WILL NOT fit the rear. you'll need at least -4.5 ESPECIALLY if they don't have stretched tires.
trust me, i had 9.5 +24 225/35/19 tires with -4.2 camber and shaved fenders and they poked out 10-15mm. so in your case, no camber kit you will not fit them.

Try not to drive with them after test fitting them on, because the car will handle like crap with extreme understeering.

I have a question for you all, I am planning on running 225-40-18 tires on this setup:
front: 18x8 +48
rear: 18x9 +50
I know the front will be okay with no rub, but im worried about the rear. I already cut tabs, I have not rolled fenders yet, will I need to do any further modifications to the rear to make the 18x9 rear wheels fit? I plan on getting the fenders rolled. Would I need to run a neg. camber setup with a +50 offset?

18x9 +50 on 225-40-18 or less and you'll be ok, with rolled fenders. and of course, your fronts will be fine (i suggest even spacin' em out 5mm just for a li'l flusher fit)
hope that helps... at least this is what i conclude based off the 9 wide +35 i had before, on coilovers. without rolled fenders it wouldnt have worked... and i doubt your +50 will fit w/out rolled fenders either, unless you're kinda high (which would look crappy IMO) or you go with smaller tires than 225-40. and even then, i still think you'd wanna roll fenders.

volly p.s. man, youre gonna run 225-40 all around, even on the fronts? you may wanna consider a smaller size down for those 8 wide fronts, to match the look. i went 215-40 on my 18x8's and 225-40's for the 9 rears...

volly if you look at my pics on the previous page, the pics when i didnt have air ride (tein-SS instead), the silver wheels rears on mines were 18x9 +35 w/ 8mm spacer, +43 without. i DID have rolled fenders, and cut tabs, did NOT have neg camber setup (no camber kits ever for me)...
18x9 +50 on 225-40-18 or less and you'll be ok, with rolled fenders. and of course, your fronts will be fine (i suggest even spacin' em out 5mm just for a li'l flusher fit)

One more question tho, does stretching the tires make the rim more vulnerable to pot holes and misc. road wear damages on the ground?
I am def. doing 225-40-18 all around, I was even thinking 235-40 just for the rear, but that may rub even with fenders rolled.
And yeah im def. going lower in the summer (on the tein basics), I would like to have a small pinky finger gap in all 4 wells.

yeah more stretch means less area of contact for the tires... youre just gonna have to be careful, is all. 225 on 9's is less rubber on those than the guys who are running 235's, etc.
that s2k setup should be fine, before i got my 8/9's i was eyeing a set of 8/9 work equips off an s2k down here, but didnt have the $ at the time. woulda been nice tho. the offsets of those were similar to what youre looking at, i think his were 48/53 or something. up to you on the 225 fronts, if you like i can try dig up some 215 pics, its not a HUUUGE difference and may be better for you going low and still making non-rubbing turns...

If I do run 235 with the 9" rear at the back, I would rub even with fenders rolled?

yeah you may still have rub troubles. stick with the 225, it's still got plenty of meat, looks better, and will fit better also.
on a side/funny note, yesterday i saw the red s2k w/ the work equips i wanted, wheels still on. guess they never sold em lol

sorry man these are the best two pics i can find... other than the pics i already posted. these tires are federals... theyve got a mild stretch, best of both worlds kinda setup as it looks good and will help you fit the 9 rears, yet still arent overly stretched/ "unsafe"

I have dead hookers in
so right now i am saving up for my wheels and i just wanna double check..
WORK VARIANZA F2S
19x8 +43
will that size and offset work good or should i go with a different offset?
i am going to lower my car with an Eibach pro kit just so you know i wanna lower it if that will affect the offset i should get
