Need some advice, I plan on trading my RPF1's for a set of Sevas S star wheels.
Front: 19x8.5 +20 offset 225/40/19
Rears: 19x9.5 +20 offset 245/45/19
With these offsets, what is the biggest tire I would be able to run on coilovers? I can spin tires in third gear on the highway with my setup so I need more tire lol

Pics of wheels
Wheels are Varrstoen 2.2.2's. Running 19x9.5 +12 in the front with 225/35, 19x10.5 +12 245/35 in the rear. +12 is too much for the rear with out pulling the fenders. A +22 wheel would probably been a little better while staying flush. Also without pulling the rear fenders I cant drive low like I want to. My rear passenger tire rubs every once and a while
Yeah this picture sucks

I'm dropped about only 1-1.5 in front and rear so by no means tucking at all. It looks about as low as the red SC I quoted and I'm thinking it could work but it might look funny. If only I could trade my 245/40r18's for 225's but since everyone is trying to stretch these days the wider tires are less sought after now. Just by looking at the red SC my wheels would be 8mm further out but it's hard to visualize.

if it rubs before lowering springs, it will rub (probably worse) after lowering springs...
you have to physically give the car more negative camber at the new ride height even...

Um no lol we are talking about lowering coilovers. Adjusting the coilvers lower you gain more negative camber already. You don't have to lower the car and then add more camber again lol. Unless my SC is super unique and special and is the only one that gains natural camber that gave me more clearance so i dont rub. zero rubbing for me in the rear with the exact wheels, hmmm

ok so I have been reading on this thread for about two hours and figured I would just post what I am looking to buy and see what you guys would think the fitment would come out like..
With that said I am looking for a flush fitment FRONT and REAR with a small stretch and eventually going from stock ride height to 2" lower. I would like to have as little neg. Camber as possible, and no rubbing issues at all. I will also roll the fenders front and rear if necessary..
Wheels: XXR 521 Gold
Wheel Size F/R: 18x8.5 +35 / 18x10 +25
Tire Size F/R: 235/35/18 , 265/30/18
Suspension: Stock for now, will be lowered 2" in future
Comments: Will the wheels be flush? I am good with knowing the tires to wheel fitment, I am hoping for flush, clean, non-wearing on a budget here.. Any help would be awesome
