NY: pull the fenders some more maybe? 215s on a 9.5 rim and over is a gaudy stretch...especially if you were to go with a 35 series tire. Not to mention the 35 series tire will create distance between tire/fenderwell so then you'll have to go even lower to eliminate wheel gap, then you reallllly have no clearance/suspension travel...
but that's just me, I'd massage the fenders more before I downsized on tires/ran more camber...it's one thing to not be functionall, it's another to have your car just outright dangerous/useless like the S pictured aboved with -10 camber
on that note, if you need to run -10 camber to squeeze not actually fit 225s on your set-up...then you're doing it wrong.

here is a pic of 215/35/18 on a 9.5
My recent set up was 18x11.5 +30 in my rear with a stretched 255/35 at -9...
I am currently working on my new set up right now....
18x9.5 +22 with 225/35 and 18x10.5 +15 with 255/35

ok so for the people disagreeing with stretching the 215, do you think going from 225/40 to 225/35 would help me? i definitly dont want to pull my fenders anymore whoever did them before me didnt do the best job and the paint is cracking, if i finess them out any more im pretty positive massive paint damage will occur which im not trying to get into lol. i like how the 225 looks maybe its just the sidewall thats throwing me off. about to go see if i can mess around with my camber bolt right now and see if im maxxed out yet

cool thanks for the imput man...im not too new to the stance scene but this is actually my first time doing wheels usually i just go for the slammed on oem wheels look....the wheels are 18x8.5 front 18x10 rear +25 all around and my current tire setup is 215/35/18f 225/40/18r ...now that i think about it, its more of the bigger sidewall in the rear that im not feeling,,,and thats where its rubbing too...i think the 225/35 is probly better off because although i drive like a grandpa i would still like SOME function.

the 35 sidewall will make a hell of a difference...trust me...ever since i went 18s, i refuse to go anything but 35 series tires....
good luck with the fitment, but 99% the 35 series will help your rubbing issues...

Thats what I plan on running on my 10 up front 225/35 rear is 11 +37 thinking of doing a 255/35 but my rear isn't pulled so I'm not sure if I can run that with -5 camber might have to go down to a 245 what ya think

on an 11...245/35 would probably be best... 255 wont stretch that crazy to give you the clearance you need..
