to make the it fit better without running spacer's up front, I got a Pair of TE37 in 19"x8.5 +22 (silver, but you can repaint to color match) that will match your rear. if you interesting in them, we can work something out, LMK.

True that, rear has to do a lot of work.. I mean lot

Its NOT THAT much work. I just used an eastwood fender roller and did an aggressive roll. IF you push it enough you can roll the fender lips and at the same time push the fender out a little.

ok i really need some clarification here and its for an AWD IS

about to pull the trigger here and really want to make sure on this
18x9 +36 all around dropped on BCR's about 1 finger gap, will the front rub or will i be safe?? i want to avoid any fender mods

or should i play it safe and go with 18x8 +35 all around

if i got with the x9 i was thinking 245/40/18 for tires and if i went with the x8 i would go with 225/40/18 tires

please let me know if i can go with the 18x9 route and not have any rubbing issues especially the front on full turns

camber and just do it! roll and pull in the rear, run a 245/35 in the rear and tuck the top of the tire, get the megan camber arms and go as much as you need to until no rub then set your toe and your set. throw a 25mm spacer in the front and roll the fenders.

IDK why you guys like to stretch the hell out of a tire for no gain.

I have 10.5 +22 in the rear and I DO NOT RUB TIRE! With a 265/30/19. If it rubs it will hit the outer edge of the rim and NEVER hit the tire. Also a 255/35 has less angle of stretch than a 265/30 the 255 has a larger rolling Dia. and is taller. The 255 will hit more than a 265. So a 245/35 is the same stretch as a 265/30. Look at the data given on any tire sites and the math adds up.

Does your tire hit the rear bumper? mine hit the rear bumper and actually push it out a little on dips.
