My bae sittin on 18x8.5 STR's. I'm really glad I didn't go any bigger, I got about 2'' of drop and have little to no rubbing or scraping. It still gives he car a really aggressive look.

They look like XXR 527, I could be wrong.

Hello all, I need some help. I'm thinking about running 18x8.5/9.5 +20 all around. What would be the best tires to run? I'm slammed on coilovers... Can raise up a bit. Not looking for crazy stretch, but a little would be alright. Also, would 18x9.5 +35 18x10.5 +12 fill in the fenders better? Need help lol Anything helps. Thanks everyone.

Are you saying you're choosing to run 18×8.5 or 18×9.5? Or 8.5f 9.5r? I run 9.5 and I just needed to roll my fenders a bit. Truthfully the 9.5 fill it perfectly and I wouldn't go smallest than that. The 10.5 you'd need a slight pull. As my friend always say, 'don't buy wheels to fit your car. Buy the wheels you want and fit your car to it.'

Currently? +32. I was going to run +15 all around on another set of wheels but some things came up and I couldn't get my hands on the wheels so I settled. I rolled and pulled my fenders.

Interesting
I thought you only needed a slight roll?

Did you pull just for extra clearance?

Also do you have rubbing issues on full lock?
