The truth is that this is a very aggressive offset for this car. There's probably only a couple of people on this forum running an offset that aggressive. The stock offset is +50 & you want to go +15, that's a 35mm difference!! IMO, whenever you go more than 10mm more aggressive, you're gonna require modification. Just to give you an idea, these are my specs... 18x9 +35 all around with 225/40 tires with a 1 degree of camber and I still rub, I'm gonna roll the fenders. And I only went 15mm more aggressive, but I have almost no stretch on the tires. You would probably have to run like 205 or 215/40 tires with for sure a fender roll and pull, at least a couple degrees of camber and a very stiff suspension. It's not gonna be cheap to get em to fit good, but if you pull it off it will look sick!!

besides coilovers,roll fenders & pull to fit them rims "proper"?
