18x9 +32 w/ 225/35, 18x10 (guy i bought them from says they are +38 but im leaning towards them being +32 haven't measured yet.) w/ 245/35
Rear fender is fully rolled and flared a small amount, bumper tab relocated, bumper inside edge shaved and trimmed. Fronts are fully rolled and half flared (started to get a little wavy so we stopped and also trimmed the fender liner a little bit with a razor. and last but not least on oem adjustments with megan track coilovers and i love em.

DO IT!. i wanted to fit a really nice wheel under there but i also wanted to keep a fairly boxy tire. And i believe i pulled it off pretty well. Dont you have a much more heinous offset than my equips? like in the teens somewhere? idk how well your gonna get a 245 and stock fender haha

Still going to drop her down a bit more. but need to play with the front camber a little before the front goes anywhere.

When you guys get your alignments set up, do you zero out the toe, or do you keep a little positive toe to help out with the negative camber? I want to make my tires last as long as possible and will probably be running around -4º of camber.

Alignments? HAH!
I use the eyeball / ride quality method and believe it or not my tires do last quite a long time. as for toe. i set the wheel/tire as i like it usually then guide the toe into place where i get no rub when driving on flat ground. Then from there just take it as very small adjustments till i have it sitting just right and not driving all effed up. As my car sits in the pics above it still isnt ready. But its very close.

im willing to bet that if/when i do get the alignment checked, my toe is very very close to on point.

Not gonna lie, that's pretty ghetto. I usually get my alignment checked every 2 months. My toe is set to factory settings. If you zero it all around with excessive negative camber, the car feels gross to drive and it'll get really squirrelly on the freeway.

Thanks fellas, exactly what I needed to know. Even though the forum looks retarded these days, there are still lots of helpful people around here!
