Here is my dilemma...

Current Setup:
19 x 8.5 +42 F and 19 x 9.5 +42 Rears with 245/35 and 275/30 tires

LS400 brakes need a minimum of a 10mm spacer to clear the face of my rims. Im about to order 20mm Spacers all around and simply roll the fenders. Do you guys think I can get away with 25mm spacers? I have almost an inch to the fender which with unstretched tires equals fail. Or should I get the 245's on the back and get some 215's for the front and just do 25mm spacers all around? I just installed PBM coils as well after the following shots were taken.

^^ rears will fit pretty easily with a good roll/mild pull maybe, the fronts are going to need some attention to get it to fit and look right without rubbing like a monster. but it's definitely doable.

That would fit fine up front with a 225/40/18 or 235/40/18(possibly) and fine in the rear w/ a mild roll and a sorta stretched tire, like a 245/35/18 or 255/35/18.

I have 18x10 +15 all around and the front will need a little more camber and drop, but it should be fine. My rears fit fine w/ 245/40/18 and very little camber but that needs to come down further too. I am probably going to get a 265/40/18 in there.

i was thinking about buying those, but i thought it was too much for tires, and 18x13 was abit too wide for me.

Feddys are the Best! Price,Style and Availability.

They do run a tad wider then most tires of the same size.
For instance: say 245/40 is what you want..depending if you want a Strech or Balloon Fitment.Adjust accordingly

Hey guys, can you let me know if this would sit too sunken in on my car? I'm looking at:
18"x8" 35mm offset all around
Car is dropped a little more than 1.5" (koni yellows on lowest setting and eibach pro)
Thanks
