New Wheels and Tires set up
Hey guys, this is my first post so bare with me! I'm going to purchase some rota grids off of a guy and they are 18 x 9.5 all the way around. I can't remember the offset but i'm pretty sure it's +35 all the way around. I'm asking you guys if you think it'll rub with stock suspension setup, and stock fenders. Will i ned some fender work done? Thanks guys!!

1. An aggressive 18" wheel fitment like that won't look good at stock height.
2. If you run a proper tire size (245+) then you will absolutely need a fender roll even at stock height.
3. Stock AP1 rear wheel is 7.5 +65, will stick out 60mm compared to stock.
If you don't want to mess with fenders and are leaving the car stock height, I would look for something around +55.

I just want you to be aware what you are getting into. It's certainly possible, people run setups like this all the time but it's not just bolt on and go. I'd go with 225/40 front, 255/35 rear tires. You are going to need a full fender roll, rear bumper tab relocation, and negative camber -3 or more. Rear might need flare depending on how low you go.

Even worse. There is no sense trying to make something like that fit unless you are going for hellaflush/fender flare/-5 camber/215 tires. Save those for a 350Z or something that they actually fit on.
The best Grid size available is probably the 17 x 9 +42, new for $750 on Ebay. I'd go that route instead.
