Thanks for the response. I want to minimize fender mods. Should I go with a 35 profile, don't drop as low (planning on a 1-2 finger gap), or look into a different wheel size?

my suggestions for 18's unless you 100% need to drop to a 35 series i wouldnt. and i mean need as in 18x9.5+15 18x10.5+10 where 215/40 and 235/35 would be used. where you need the crazy stretch. if your looking to run something like 235/35 on a 9 youll be good but itll probably throw the speedo off not having a staggered setup(unless you have a 250awd) But it WILL give ou better clearance for the fenders and fender liners up front.

It didnt matter much to me since i go with the flow of traffic. the tires i run arent ever based on outside rolling diameter, what ever size fits i run.

Can someone give me a hand with my setup. I have a 19 by 8.5 rim with 225/35/19 tires with a 45 offset. I have a local guy selling some 25mm kics spacers, would this be too aggressive and require fender mods for the rear? This is for an AWD is 350 dropped on Fsport springs. Thanks guys

5mm conservatively, 10mm if you want to press your luck.

19x10 +7 front, 19x10.5 +14 rear, will it fit? I'll be rolling my fenders, with a slight pull, stretched probably on 225-40s and adjusting camber

Need a hand here. I ordered my wheels, 18X8 up front with 40 offset, they sent 30 offset. Should I return them or am I OK? 225/40 tires, IS350 lowered on F-sport coils.

Thanks!

Just talked to the place I got the wheels from. Apparently Foose was having some brake clearance problems on the 350 with a 40 offset, so they sent 30 offset. looks like I am good to go, thanks for the reassurance though Mia!

Pull the fronts 225/35, camber as much as possible set toe to neutral.
Roll and pull the rear, figs camber arms, 235/35 set camber to where ever you pull too. Set toe to neutral. I wanna see pix

I'm wondering if these Varrstoen wheels will fit..
They're 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 + 22

I think they also make them in +30 but +22 would be a kick *** dish. I'm sure Id have to stretch tires but no idea what size to go with. I'm going to be lowered on Megan Racing EZ streets. Don't really want to have to roll the fenders but I will a little bit.

Anyone ever use the varrstoen wheels??
