I should add that I plan to go with +35 offset.

I have 8.5 front, and 9.5 rear with 225/40/18 and 255/40/18 tires on Eibach springs. Conservative offset +35 front and +40 rear if I remember correctly. No rubbing at all. Cambers and toe still have good alignment. I think your set up should be fine but 255/40 front is too fat lol. You may running rubbing issue as well but for sure it looks ugly to me lol. I would suggest either 245/35 (good looking) or 245/40 (more comfort) which is a good compromise for both front and back if you go with square set up. Another option is staggered 225/40 front and 255/40 rear.

Why do you do square set up? Are you planning to rotate tires every oil change or something?

subliime

All good points, thank you. I don't necessarily need to go square, just thought it might make more sense. I've actually been running staggered on my cars for a long time now. I think you're also right on the tire size. I like the idea of running 245/35 or 40 instead of the 255. Either way, i need to pull the trigger and do this! I've been waffling on all of this for too long. Time to get myself a Christmas present and get this done.....

Well just found out my stock wheel is cracked and this is the reason I was having to fill them up w/ air every other day.

I just came across these wheels on CL. $390 for all 4. Good price since I just need daily driving wheels for these terrible LA roads. What you think on the offsets: +35 front +38 rear??

I had 18x8.75 +35 while dropped on H&R and then after changed to Road Magnets (both lower more than the F-Sport or Eibach Pro)

I had 225/40R18 with no issues.

If you want to roll with 255, you MIGHT need to roll fender based on your offset. ET35 seems doable though.
However, I'd suggest 255/35R18 instead of the 40% profile.

Wondering what it looks like on stock height of 2011 with 18" or 19"? And what u guys recommend for less issues. Or best suspension jus for dropping it an inch or so to make the gap alittle closer. Thanks! Thinking about vsxx

I went with 18" Avante Garde's

H&R sport
18 x 8.5 : 18 x 9.5
225/40/18 ; 255/40/18

I'm so stoked on the results. I know a lot of people on here will feel there is too much gap but I've had my share of low stances and for this car, I am really happy with the look and fitment of this set up. I give 5 stars to H&R sport springs. awesome ride!

I'm glad it works out for you! Haha, your set up is very very much like mine wheels and tires, if i remember correctly, are exact same specs. Your wheels also look like my TSW Nurburgring in design.
I recently upgraded from lower spring to BCR coilovers set up but I only lower it very similar to H&R height as well so we literally have everything the same

Looks good, man! Yeah, the slammed thing isn't very practical.

Yeah I was really on the fence on the BC Coilovers. I actually bought them last month but ended up going with H&Rs at the advice of my friend/mechanic. So now i have a box of brand new BC Coilovers that havent even been opened. The vendor has a 30% restocking fee. Ouch. I gues I'll be posting them for sale on Classfieds. Would rather give a discount to a fellow CL member than towards a restocking fee.....

subliime, the BCR coilovers handles better than lower spring set up plus with a conservative drops, you can set on soft dampening settings on daily driving which is a lot comfortable than lower spring set up. I think you should keep it and install after your drive the H&R set up for a while. You will see an improvement on BCR coils for sure. I have driven on both set up.
