Ok so I just spent the last 3 hours going through this thread. Can someone just confirm that what I have gathered is correct.

Wheel Specs:

F: 19x9.5 +22 with 225/35/19
R: 19x10.5 +22 with 265/30/19

Front and rear fenders need to be rolled flat?
Front and rear bumper tab mods? (does anyone have pictures of how this is done?)

I have ordered a set of BCR coilovers and am going to go as low as the wheels will allow me. Am I missing anything here?

fixed rear tire size.

a search will help you pull up threads of the bumper tab mods.

I already have the 265/30 on there. Am I looking at needing camber links?

either stick with them and pray that all the fender mods you've done will create enough fender-tire clearance...

or pawn'em off and buy 245/35-19's.

and no, you won't need any adjustable camber links. "don't drink the kool-aid."

What size tires should I use for Vossen CV3s to not rub? Wheels specs are 20x9+32 and 20x10.5+45. I will be lowered on Megan EZ coils to about one or zero finger gap. Would fender mods be needed?

tire against front fenders? no - as long as they're rolled flat.

tire against front fender tabs? no - as long as the tabs are shaved down or bent out of the way.

that's mighty low, but if you get your fenders modded your tires shouldn't rub against it when the steering wheel is fully turned.

yes, but those will require fender mods and some light tire-stretching.

are we talkin about fender pull or roll here?

i am asking because i found a set of bbs le mans 19x9 et 19 and 19x10 et 20, they were bought for an 350z.

if i want to drive them, and be legal, i need to be sure that they will never rub, in any kind of situation. there for the tüv makes these ridiculous tests, where the tire is in situation like on the pic above, if u can turn the wheel and there is no rubbing at all while e.g. the front tire left and the rear tire right is on a object, i will be allowed to drive them..


its kinda sad, i can't get a decent set of bbs le mans, despite living in germany and its a german company. bbs is bankrupt and the 3piece and forged wheels are built in japan, but the japanese have no point of sale at the moment in germany..

I'm looking to get Rota G Force 18x9 +30 for the front and rear on 225/40/18. I'm lowered on H&R springs. Will I need to do any mods so I don't rub?

i should say rolled and (naturally) pulled, along with shaved fender tabs.

the rigid rules and regulations is a great way to get fake wheels off the street. unfortunately, we don't have any of that here, but i digress.
