Did you have to modify the rear fenders because you're lowered? I'm staying at stock height and don't want to play with the fenders or liners.
The post I linked wasn't me so I have no idea if you'll rub at 18x10 +40 at stock height. That's part of the reason why I didn't go for that spec when buying the TEs. But for my specs I haven't touched the fender or the fender liner. I'm also at stock height. So far no rubbing in the rear when driving normally. Haven't had people in the back yet, so I have no idea what will happen when you add 150-500 pounds to the rear seats. The front doesn't rub at all on full lock and you should have no problem rubbing at all seeing as how there's tons of room up front.
That's why I chose 18x9.5 +40 to be safe. Based on the fact that people running 18x9.5 +45 had no trouble at stock height, I assumed pushing out the wheels by 5mm wouldn't cause me any issues. The next thing I want to see is if I'd be able to run 275/35 without any rubbing.

Whoops, didn't check authors.
My problem is the 18" diameter of the wheels I like have reasonable 10" width fitment, but a bit lower offset than I'd like (the mentioned +39). If I want to go 9.5" wide then there's 19" diameter fitments I'm fine with. Just kinda want that 10" wide fitment; vanity you know?
Looks great, Kelvin! I knew you'd burn through your original set of tires sooner than later. I'm glad to see that the +40 provided enough clearance. Love how the TEs look without a sticker. The etching has a nice detail to the wheel. See you really soon for sure!
So after reading through this thread, sounds like a 19x9.5 +38 with 245 and 19x10.5 +32 with a 275 is possible with some rear fender work.
Looking at the Work T7R's.
Was hoping I could make the T7R 2P's work, but I don't like the wheel without a stepped lip and concave face which doesn't sound possible in the front and still clear the Brembo. Oh well.
