Haven't bought them yet, but I have confirmed with the company I can run 18x9.5 +23 all around. It will clear stock brakes, just will need to roll/pull fenders and also stretch tires. (Lowered on coils as well)

The reason why i ask is because my wheels are being built atm. They are 19x9 +9 and 19x10 +26 works vsxx. Wondering if i get away with no camber arms in the front but i doubt it. Im also on bags now.

You will mostly have to run streeeeeetched tires and camber. They will poke out almost 2 inches compared to stock.

I have 19x9.5 +24 and 19x10 +30 on mine with only a slight roll in the rear. That's about as aggressive as I would go lol......the wheels on my 2IS were s little more aggressive but the fender design/wheel well area on the 3IS basically sucks compared....to put it nicely.

I didn't have to do anything in the front running that wheel and a 225/35/19 and my ride height has been a little low. I only rub when my family is in the car and I hit dips....and I don't even rub that much then, but I just raise it up if I do lol
