I called the specs. the reason i went with a 10 is because of backspacing issues. obviously, body work is going to be needed to fit these, but in order to avoid looking TOO wide and awkward, somewhat extreme camber will be used as well. because i am on coilovers, backspacing will be an issue. i ACTUALLY ordered a 10.5-26 but there was some miscommunication during the ordering the process and i ended up with the 10. my car will be low enough tho where the 10 wont look too narrow from behind. as for stretching, ill be fine with 235/35 and im actually more satisfied with that then a 255 on an 11.

but yeah i will take a 10.5-36 over a 10-32...just tell them you need a half inch wider back barrel. it is not welded so you can take them apart.
i usually do 245 on a 11 and 255 on a 12

with a 10 -32 you worry about back spacing? you will tap out any of your aftermarket arms before even coming close to the coilover.

i wont be going with any more stretch than is needed to fit the rims. i know i can rebarrel my rims, but im not gonna hassle with it, im going to keep what i have. with a 10, im not worried about backspacing, as thats why i ordered it. with an 11 id be worried about backspacing. when i was on my eurolines, id hit my coil when going up driveways and what not. 11 will make it worse. the car is daily driven so i need to get up driveways without digging into my suspension.

so i went down to the shop to install my brakes, and i got some progress pics. obviously, theres a ton of work still left to go, but at least the wheels can fit on the car to mold around lol.
as for the fronts, got the brakes on, put the 15mm spacer, and the wheel still didnt clear the brakes. luckily i had a 5mm spacer as well to use for bodywork, and i just ordered some new 20mm spacers for when i get the car back. this puts the front sizing at 19x9-40
all because i wanted concave lol

Also, i took advantage of my car being on a lift and took some pics of my car's scars
