I've ran mid 30s with the same specs with springs and no issues before. but if I were you I would just get something aggressive and do the work to make it fit. you'll be happier in the long run trust me. I've been in the same position... just my opinion

Car showing with no funds? Haha interesting. You could probably run around 25's in the rear. Not completely sure about the front. You'll need a roll/shave though.

With the DF210s he won't have to. It's not an aggressive enough drop

If you have any rubbing issues in the rear, i would just add a little bit of negative camber and you'll be good to go. Just run stretch tires for your first set so you can see how much room you have to play with. Then with the second set you can decide what size will fit you best

No i don't find something funny. Just interesting. I threw in haha to make it less serious.

Curious as to where you're getting the rims? Are you having someone make it to your specs, or you shopping around for sizes? One week seems like a pretty short time.

that offset is pretty high.

you've made tons of threads about wheel fitment. search the forums for a fellow forum members post -- username is rominxl.

also, use rimtuck.com, use one thread for all your wheel fitment needs if you have issues.
