Boom, you may have to roll your front fender but those will NOT rub after that, then drop it and it'll look perfect!

Edit: Can you take some fender shots to see the fitment for the front and rear?

Here ya go! I got the dude at the shop to drop it for me. I'll drop the front some more after I relocate the harness.

Great tire size choices

Thanks. Managed to get Michelin A/S for $135/piece for the rear! Nankang up front. Rubs a bit in the back after the drop, nothing a roll can't fix I think. I'm happy overall. Car rides just as if not smoother.

Really? Are you on springs or coilovers? Rolling is no big deal, might as well roll all 4 corners.

I'm on Megan EZ coilovers. I'm at another shop right now getting the rear rolled. I'll do the front another time.

Would I just roll my fenders to get the look of the black SC? I want to run 275/18s in the back but don't know how small the side wall would have to be? ALSO would like to know the fitment of the white SC if anyone could take a guess of the offset ( maybe wheel spacers?) or has anyone run anything similar? thats exactly what I want with the look of the black rear fenders. Any help will be greatly appreciated Ive gone through a lot of these posts but can't find exactly what I'm looking for.

Hey guys.
Quick question:
I need a set of 19" wheels because the 18" set I purchased won't clear my BBK.
I had 18x9.5 for the rear and 18x8.5 for the front. All with a ET35 offset.

Now my question is, if I go with 19x9.5 in the rear and 19x8.5 for the front, I have two offset choices: 20 or 38.
I know 38 will definitely work, probably with minor or maybe even no fender modification (with some negative camber). Will be running 275/30/19 rear and 245/35/19 front.

But will the ET20's work with maybe just a slight fender roll? Or will the fenders need to be pulled?

My concern is the 38's might be too sunken in and look a bit goofy.

Any ideas?

I think the whole issue of your current fitment is the offset itself not fitting over the BBK. You must have HUGE brakes if the caliper is hitting the barrel of an 18" wheel. In that case just get a 10-15mm spacer or get a set with a more aggressive offset, something around ET25 or less is a safe number. Getting a 19" with the same offset will put you in the same boat. If you really are hitting the barrel of the wheel I want to see some pictures of this badass setup lol.

Right? I was thinking he must have some major stopping power. What calipers are you running? That would help out too

Hi guys, I have 18x9 +10 225/40/18 in the front, 18x10.5 +25 255/40/18 in the rear. I'm ok with the front, but dont like the rear because the tires kinda stretch too much. Is it fine if I run 275/35 or even 285/35 ? My fenders are rolled not pulled. Thanks

Go with a 275/35. You will have to have your rears rolled at the minimum depending on your ride height.

Here is my rear 18x10.5 +18 on a 275/35 size tire:

Ok, thanks for the input! Do your rear wheels have negative camber? What is the wheel and tire spec in the front?

I'm at whatever the stock setting for camber was set to. Have not messed with adding more camber.

My front wheels are 18x9 +16 Medium Disk and running 235/40/18 tires

I drove a SC with a 19x10.5 +23 with 265/30/19 advan tires. The rear fender was completely shaved and it would rub if i turned too fast. I think the camber was around -2 to -2.5, but if you're willing to add more negative camber, then it won't be an issue.

My current SC is 18x10.5 +36 with a 285/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sport, shaved rear fenders, -1.9 degrees of camber and I have no issues with it rubbing. If I put a 5mm spacer it'll rub the rear fender on dips.
