Get the rear camber kit for sure.. put the wheels on after the suspension and see if you need it for the front.

what size tires are you running? how low are you?

i have 19x9+25 in the front and i honestly can't imagine running a 9.5 up there...9 +25 is already pushing it and i rolled AND pulled my front fenders.

i have a front camber kit that i need to install so i can create some clearance up there.

Well to be honest from wat i was reading i was told 235/35/19 would b best, but im not too sure. Im not as low right now because i raised the car during the winter, but i will lowering it about 2" once i get the wheels. Theres a guy on here running the 2.2.2 varrstone 9.5 in the front and 10.5 in the rear, but hasnt answered any of my questions. Seems like i will definitely need a camber kit for the front

235/35/19 would probably be best. BUT, you won't be able to go as low/tuck tire with that size tire.

i'm running 225/35/19 on 19x9+25 and 19x9.5+25 and they are stretching...but it's not a horrible stretch.

i'm tucking 1/2" of tire tho, so i ride pretty low and that's why i went with a 225 series tire. 235 will give you more protection tho.

up to you man.

So now I have a huge bump in the way of these wheels, originally I was shooting for these varrstoens 2.2.2 in a hyper black but the seller on ebay won't have them in the offset I need for another 3-4 months I'm pretty bumed out about that. Although he has them available in matte black I'm not too sure if I will like the matte black finish. Wat do u guys think I should do?

Matte black

See if he can give you a price discount since he doesn't have the offset you want. Take the money saved and get the wheels powdercoated.

You will have to run stretch tires and will probably get some noticeable poke. Is that the setup you are going for?

Well get the matte black and sit on them for a while until you can have them redone or save your pennies until the supplier gets the set you want in stock.

Talking

So I just ordered the Rota grid in 19x9.5 +38. They weren't my first choice but its the best I can get right now, hopefully the outcome of my car is well worth it. Thanks guys I'll post a new thread with pics of the car with the wheels on.
