Great car caira911! Now lets put some spacers on it! BTW guys I will give up my offsets once my car is done which should be sometime in May! And I am running no spacers! I measured and remeasures and looked online at sites like rimtuck.com and the wheel calculator sites! Many sleepless nights!!!!!!!

Current (really conservative offset)
Front +38 with 15mm spacer = +23 (20x9, 235/30) Rolled Fender (no pull)
Rear +35 with 20mm spacer = +15 (20x10, 245/30) Rolled Fender (no pull)

Plan is....
Front 225/30 and add 5mm spacer.... will be +18
Rear 235/30 and add 5mm spacer.... will be +10

Next my wheel should be..... if I get 20" but I might want to go with 19".....
Front 20x9+18
Rear 20x10+10
Not too aggressive offset but it will flush with my height + Fender.......

interesting, i'm having issues driving my front at my current height and im more conservative than you are (9j +30, 225/35-20). you think going down that size to the 225 or 235/30-20 will help solve my turning problems when lowered more in the front?

for the rears, with only a ROLL, you can easily run up to 10j +6/8 with a 245/35 (beefy) tire, as long as you have a decent bit of camber. (im running ~-3deg in the rears with 0 rubbing)

hit me up and we can chat about it on aim sometimes?

I forgot to tell you about camber
Front -3 rear -4 (both toe is in spec)
about tire 30 series vs 35 series make different when you lowere the car,
smaller tire diameter as get, more easyer to get low...
in front, more strech gets more chance to clear the fender or less chance to lubbing when trying to flush with frender....
you can compare tire size with this site
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...foTireMath.jsp
I think you are in CA, it might hard to drive city with 30 series tire... Im in AZ, streets are newer and not bad.... however my front tires are rub sometime when turn.... I need better suspension like Tanabe Super Low Form Damper (Short stroke, spring rate F26kg, R20kg) or AirRunner....

If your cambered and on 30's it will be rough. Had a few sets. They feel alright until your about 1/2-3/4 of the way through the rubber, then you really feel it.
