You need coilovers first. You will rub A LOT otherwise. You will also need to roll all your fenders.

I would recommend a higher offset and more tire. 18x10+38 ssr professors or rpf1s with 285s. I have my 18x10 rpf1s for sale if you're interested.

Agreed. I think he was talking about buying XXR 521s. Which only come in 18x10 +25. Which sucks!

Thanks for the pinch weld pics on th previous page!

Elree, you'll need coilovers first and foremost. Then you will need to roll your fenders flush front and back and hammer your pinch welds in the front to run an 18x10.

i recommend a +15mm spacer in rear. the problem is going to be the rear. i have 9.5+7 in rear w/225/40 and had to roll/pull/relocate bumper bolt/shave tap/cut bumper/hammer pinch welds/ and -4 camber to make it work w/minimal rub.

my front's are at -2 offset w/ roll/pull/hammer pinch welds and -4 camber....rubs at full lock only.

just a suggestion though, as for tire size. if you go -4 camber you might be able to do 235/40, you will most likely not have too many problems w/ 225/40

did you have to buy any camber bolts to do -4 in the rear?
