wow up to 32 pages, lots and lots of nice cars and very helpful tips. However, didnt read every single page yet, (still working on it ) but i have come across these wheels and would like to know, yes or no?

Fronts: 19 x 8.5 +25 offset
Rears: 19 x 10 + 40 offset.

Planned tires, 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 (maybe get away w/ a 275)
Planned Drop, Espelirs.

What if i went w/ a skinnier tire, would that help, or would the drop make the fender roll inevitable?

Thanks!

Ok, after reading thru all 85 pages...I still had some questions. I just bought some WORK Equips.
F/R: 18x8 +29/18x9 +35
What size tires could i run, and would the fenders need to be rolled? Thanks.

If you ran some negative camber (around -2.5 degrees), you might be able to get away with a 275 without rolling the fender on a 9.5" wheel with +35 offset, I had to roll the fenders, but then I decided to go a little more aggressive on the camber, and I probably have 8-10 mm of space now... A narrower tire would also work, but IMO would look dumb...

245/40-18 front, 275/35-18 rear

run some negative camber or roll the rear fenders... depending on how much you are lowering it will decide if the fronts will need rolled or not...

they will fit. they will be conservatively flush. You should be able to fit some nice wide tires with just a fender roll.

how they will look largely depends on the style of the wheel.

If you are going VIP with AME Shallens, those are not appropriate offsets. If you are going for something more conventionally sporty, those are more than appropriate offsets. If you are going to some gaudy ghetto chrome rims, they will look bad regardless.

if you are worried about fender rolling: don't be.

if you can't find a shop that will do the work right or do the work for a fair price, I own a fender roller and have bummed it out to members in the past.

thanks for the TT Brakes. It was $500 well spent for sure. Brake bias is back with authority.

I think those offsets are very appropriate on RPF1's. You can fit 285's aggressively within stock rolled fenders. Personally, some meat is more than appropriate with a race-inspired wheel design.

I would probably go anywhere between 225-245 up front and 265-285 out back.

I am serious about the fender roller. If you need one, just PM me. I have a heat gun too so that you will not chip the paint.
