Camber kit, likely rear and maybe front as well. I use SPC and like them.

Wouldn't an alignment fix the camber? It's a minor drop.

I feel strange about these rims because I saw another gs around me with them and now I want them as well, lol! I originally wanted the Verona but it doesn't come in silver.
What are the offsets and tire sizes you plan to run? If you run around +40 on the offsets and tires 235/35-20 and 275/30-20, you should be OK.

we need the offset to determine this. depending on the offset, you might not even need to do rolls, unless you run 275's (stated above)

Are you sure the 25mm spacer doesn't come with the studs already in the spacer? Can you explain what "factory spacers" are. Never really heard of factory spacers before. Most wheels would come high disc opposed to giving you a spacer, but im not familiar with Manaray's.

I haven't scaled my tires but I'll most likely go that route. Just as long as there not rubber bands

Im assuming his set of wheels came with optional spacers since +45 is hella weak of an offset. Lol,

yeah, im not sure why he'd want a wheel with a high offset to start with, I cant imagine running anything higher then +24 without a spacer on a 10'. but I personally would run some aftermarket 25mm spacer that had studs in it that way if you decide to run different wheels or go back to stock, saves you the hassle of having to remove/replace the studs off the hub.

Have you ran alignment specs on your car being that you are lowered on DF210 springs? I was wondering what's your camber at since im lowered with the same springs. If your personal trafficstar wheel specs 20x10.5 +45 is rubbing, I can't imagine my rub with my 19x10.5 +22 ce28n. Will throw my rims on after Christmas.

Yeah man... Totally agree, can't imagine the hassle on removing the hub and replacing the studs unless you enjoy doing that kinda stuff.

yeah to much of a hassle, but sadly I gotta do it to my GS lol. gotta run a 12mm spacer on the front to get my 10' +13. at least once I do the studs, i'll just size all my wheels to the same size every time haha. It was either spend money on studs and spacers, or buy 2 new lips and then polish them. felt it was financially cheaper to go the spacer route

I've ran quite a few suspension and rims tires combo in the last 5 years

Originally, I had DF210(natural camber was around -3 degrees front, can't recall rear) and had TSWs 20x8.5 +40 235/35-20 and 20x10 +40 275/30-20 Falkens. No fender mods and no rubbing.

I now have TrafficStar SFR 20x9 +30 225/35-20 and 20x10 +35 255/30-20 Toyo Proxes4+ Tires and lowered on BCs with rolled front and rear fenders so I don't rub unless I set the coilovers to where its tucking tire at normal ride height.
I've also ran these rims with 225/35-20 and 265/30-20 Conti DWS which i feel is a "big" tire, and it rubbed in the rear on dips and with people in the car with the DF210s.

Hope that helps.

My assumption is that your rear was probably close to -3 to -3.5 as well.

If you were to run 245 in the rear, it would probably not rub tucking tire. Im on 19x11 +25 with no rubbing with shaved rears. Im currently going with 19x11 +12 in the rear for 2015, but going to see if I can just camber it enough to where I don't need to pull or redo my rear qtrs. (around -6). I want to keep running 245's in the rear but might need to step down to 235 to clear.

I'm on 2IS forums as well since their wheel wells & suspension is similar if not equivalent to ours and damn those kids run crazy nasty beyond aggressive offsets. Lol

Thanks for the help 1uglygs, just love to talk about offsets other than starting a tread to ask what wheel fits cause I know all factors are considered with how low, offsets, spacers if any, tire specs, fender mods are all into play.

What's ur camber arm set at to run at 19x11 +25? I've browsed through this thread (yes a whole 100 pages worth 3 to 4 times. Haha) and not much info has been given or provided with any camber specs to run aggressive offsets. Just wanna see if I can get away with 10.5 +22 NOT using camber arms other than additional info of shaved rear and 255/35/19.

Thanks for the info, but I'm good at this point. I moved back to Seattle (from SJ) and needed All-Season tires because i roll 20's year round. My car is also a AWD so tire selection due to sizes are limited. I want to switch to 19" but don't want to spend anymore money on the car.

Im honestly not sure at this point. I have the adj camber and toe arms but no alighment at this point lol. My tires are wearing pretty quick but I don't drive it everyday and im getting another set of wheels and tires in a couple weeks. my new wheels are still being built but I should have them by the new year and I'll PM you the alignment specs. The tires (255) might rub, but I've never ran that size so I couldn't tell you for sure.

How do you like 20's? I almost bought a set of VIP Modulars but was worried about 20's not giving me the option to be as low as 19's sit without radius the fenders so they don't hit on turns.
