i think a 225 would be ok on the 9 -1. maybe -3 deg camber? i run x9 +5 and have a lot of room with minimal camber.

x10 -14 not sure how much camber but a 235 or 245 would be ok imo

on the front you'd need a good roll, i doubt youd have to pull at all really with camber. the rear maybe a slight pull.

theres a black sc here running x9 and x10 zero offset with no crazy pull

got my coilovers in today and i am trying to figure out some wheel sizes that will work without having to roll and pull fenders.i plan on slamming this thing to the ground so its gonna be pretty low.i would like to be able to have good camber cuz im not trying to buy tires every 3 days.ok, wheel and tire sizes i was thinking would work.18x8.5 front w/ 225/45 and 18x9.5 rear w/ 255/40.if any body is running this size and could show pics that would be great but any input would be very helpfull.thanks

You may me low but your fitment will look like ****. You will need some massive spacers unless you buy some super negative offset wheels.

You want to slam it to the ground, but don't want to run through tires. I'd invest in Ikeya arms if you want that. $4,800 will get the job done. There is only so much adjustment you can get out the stock arms. A +38 offset will get the job done for you if you are looking to not touch your fenders.

oh yeah,forgot to mention my offsets are +20 in the rear and +30 in the front. and any other wheel and tire size recommendations for a really low car with no fender mods would be great.thanks guys

i wish i could but the wheels i want do not come any wider than 9.5 in 18's.and +20 is about as aggressive as it gets as far as offsets go.looks like i will be adding spacers to get my wheels were i want them.whats the widest i can go on the front and rear in 18in and still have my car pretty low on coilovers.not really trying to stretch the **** out any tires either.a little stretch is fine but no crazy rim lip hanging out ****.
