Help! Aggressive fitment guru's acquire within
I am dropping off my car to the body shop on the 16th for fender/paint work before I fit my wheels and I had some questions I could not find with research. Any help would be appreciated!!
Wheel specs:
19x9.5/10.5 +25
225/35 F 245/35 R
1. What tabs for the front and rear do I need to trim/cut to fit without rubbing? Any pictures?
2. I have megan rear camber arms, but only one set. Do I need both as seen in the picture below?
3. Do I need adjustable front ball joints in the front?
PS-This is not my first time fitting wheels on a car, but this time around it's on my daily so I want to be sure I don't have it rubbing on every single turn.

Nice specs/ offsets. Tuckable for sure. Ill see if i can find the picture of the fender tabs.
Pretty much shave the front and rear fenders. cut the front tab and relocate. Heat gun the liner and remold it.
You will be good to go after

1. the fender tab is at the edge where it meets the bumper. the fender tab and the bumper tab are held together by a separate plastic tab and a bolt.
2. you need the set that allows for camber adjustment (obviously), but i wouldn't be able to tell you which one.
3. no, unless you're running even more aggressive offsets and/or wider wheels in the front.

You'll want to get these front adjustable ball joints :

I've got a set on order from Assaultech right now to help balance out my 2.5 degrees of negative camber up front.

I may run them down to a +22, but I have seen multiple people get away with that and be fine esp w/225 tire.
I have my subaru super close, but I don't really drive that car. Now I went with 10.5 +15 stock body. Idc about cutting that car up!!
oh and it's is-f blue, well was. New color now!

If you are lowered with any semi-aggressive wheel setup, you'll have a good amount of negative camber up front. I have 2.5 degrees up front with just stockers and BCRs. Once the fenders are rolled, the SPCs are installed, I'll be able to get close to an acceptable "factory" amount of camber...thus maintaining normalish tire wear.
I DD my 350 too; and with a 30 minute commute each way the BFGs have been taking a toll with that added camber.
