I already rolled and pulled the rears and running camber -1.8 and -1.3 rear on stock springs in the rear and Hotchkis springs in the front. Is there anything I can do other then changing my tire size. Maybe someone can tell me where I can cut my rears but don't know where. Help plzz
I'd like to see some pictures of this setup.

Alright fellas I need some help from the experts in here. I found a deal on some 18 x 10s with a 28 offset. Im thinking Id like to run a 275/35 tire and was wondering how much it would take to run this. Is the offset to little?

You're about 10mm too low offset to fit that easily in the rear, and that's all fender. You're going to need the usual roll and or cut, rear bumper bolt relocation, trim or remove front fender liners, trim front fender side of side skirt flange, and PULL your rear fenders a lot. Or use overfenders.

I have my settings amount of post/page setup differently, post numbers work better. Iget that it might be some work.

Well it seems like alot of people rum the rpf1s with a 38 offset and a 5mm spacer in the rear, ending up with a 33 offset. I guess I didnt think the that extra 5mm wouldnt be that much more work.

I dont mind rolling the the fenders but I get nervous when I need to start pulling. I guess I need really think about it. What about running a 265 tire?

You can run the +27's all around with a spacer up front. I think a 10mm. If you run the +38's you'll need a bigger spacer up front (20mm or 25), but I think your rears will fit much easier in the rear.
I run GTC01's, 18x9.5 +38 with 275/35-18 NT555 on all four corners with no fender mods and no rubbing. Lowered on GTWorks springs and stock MR bilsteins with suspension settings recommended by Andrew. I have also ran Toyo T1R's in the same size with no rubbing. FWIW.

I've ran 18x9.5 +38 NT03's with 265/35/18's and it rubbed on the skirts AND on the pinch weld. that was on OEM shocks/Works springs & Skunk2 Pro-C's & on Ohlin DFV's.

So either you don't turn your wheels, don't turn your car at speed, you're not aware that you're rubbing, or you're full of ****.
