The orange TE37s I posted were 18x9.5 +22. Here are some more.
Front fenders: untouched, but pulled naturally upon rubbing
Rear fenders: rolled, slightly pulled
Tires: 225/40-18 Goodyear Eagle F1s, horrible for stretch, ran into problems up front.
A good stretch tire of size 225/40-18 with decent drop shouldn't give you problems but if you slam the car you might run into them up front.
It also depends if your fenders are rolled or not.

Anyone running a wider staggered set up?
I have 18x9.5 front, 18x10 rear, both et12. They are Work SC1s
Suspension is Koni Yellows with Eibach Pro, which will give me a 1.75inch drop.
My question is; will I need camber kits? What would be the best tire setup, and will it rub? Fender mods, roll/pull?
Friend said that I can do 245/40/18 all around, just because I don't really want to stretch the tires, since I'm not going to be tucked.
Any help/opinion would be appreciated.

If you don't want to stretch, I would at least do 235/40 up front and 245/40 in the back.
Roll and slightly pull your rears and I suggest leaving the fronts as those are more difficult to modify (two panels, bumper and fender).

Racer
How aggressive is the fender rolling and how is the clearance on the inner portion of the wheel? Also, what size tires are you running? TIA.

hey guys i just got me a set of volks and i was wondering... do i HAVE to get rays/volk lug nuts? or can i go with another brand like muteki and work or something. i just think that 200 is such an outrageous price but quality wise im sure it is superior above all or at least most. im also looking for red lug nuts... just putting it out there.

Intermediate
His TE37s are 19x8.5 +29 (245/35-19) and 19x10.5 +42 (275/30-19).
The orange TE37s I posted were 18x9.5 +22. Here are some more.
Front fenders: untouched, but pulled naturally upon rubbing
Rear fenders: rolled, slightly pulled
Tires: 225/40-18 Goodyear Eagle F1s, horrible for stretch, ran into problems up front.
Correct. It depends if you are low, or are ridiculously low. If it is the latter, then yes you probably will rub up front while turning on driveways.
A good stretch tire of size 225/40-18 with decent drop shouldn't give you problems but if you slam the car you might run into them up front.
It also depends if your fenders are rolled or not.

just wanted to see the crab come out. 
Looking for pics of Volk TE37's in 18x9.5 +35. My post from another thread on brembo clearance:
So for TL-S with brembos, the Volk TE37 SL in 18x9.5 with decent concavity is only attainable with the currently available +22 offset. I'm still looking into the +35 offset but from initial pics it appears more on the flat side.
Members who have ran similar specs are correct in that it will cause poke. Depending on lowering amount and tires, it will likely require fender work in the front and rear with aggressive tire stretch. Going with a staggered setup will allow for concavity in rear.
Trying to talk myself into 19" TE37 ultras in matte blue...

Gentlemen,
I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on Gramlights 57Transcend 18x9 +25 Face 2. Will a 235 tire work without rolling rear fenders? I'm pretty sure a 225 will be fine with my projected 1-1.5" drop.
