with my current setup, I don't rub at all! ​​​​​​18x9.5+32 would be the most aggressive I would recommend for the rears with a 255/35 tire. especially if you use camber arms to correct some of the camber to get better life out of the tires.

Thank you for this thread! I've been banging my head against a wall trying to find the right fitment... and you nailed it. I'll be doing an equivalent version of yours with a 19x8.5 +17 and 9.5 +32. Thanks again for all the pics and info!!

19x8.5+17 is really aggressive for the 3is. my fronts are 18x9.5+30 and that's cutting it close already. are you sure you want to go with offsets that low?

A 9.5 +30 is the same as an 8.5 +17. But, I did end up ordering a little bit more conservative setup... went with 8.5 +25 in the front and 9.5 +39 in the rear. Also ordered front and rear camber arms so I can play around with the fitment a little bit after it's lowered.

OOOH Duh, sorry. 8.5 width. missed that detail. I'd recommend 8.5+20 in the front and 9.5+40 if you want to get meatier tires on there
