Looked through the whole thread and saw posts about 18x9+29 with 225/40/18 tires, but did anyone actually run that size wheel in the front? If so any rubbing? I've got an AWD and found a used set of Advan RS's in that size, soooo tempted to get them if I won't have any rubbing issues

rear camber arms will do fine, and a 265/30 will stretch and fit perfectly with a slight pull(not really noticable) and roll the front also shave the fender bump tab. lower enough to tuck at least the top 1/3rd of the tire. adjust camber to roughly -4.5* or more in the rear, and roughly -3* to -3.7* in the front...i prefer more haha

Hmmm, if I go 18x8.5+29, would I still need roll fenders and mold the liner? Thanks Mv!

^ Yeah +1 what MV said. Run -4 in the rear and - 3 in the front if you can and you should be fine. Id also order the toe arms this way you can Zero that out so you get even tire wear when you align the cars. Megan sells 3 different arms. Only the camber and toe are the important ones, the last ones really for show.

with that offset, the fronts will only matter when you drop it and how low you drop. the lower you go the more youll rub and catch the fender. if you have just the top of the tire tucking or a 1 finger gap youll be ok.

depends on your drop but most likely fender roll/shave, pushing back fender lining those are pretty low offsets
