This post is almost funny!
So, just so you know. I have 18x9.5-3 front and +2 rear with 225 width tires and stance gr+. Now on to the answer, stance(hellaflush) and ride quality should never be used in the same sentence. I will tell you my family hates how my car handles.....but it looks good, which is what I'm trying to achieve. when my car was on tein h-techs, and 18x9.5+22 w/245 width tires it handled way better. I would say if you want decent ride quality then its all going to depend on offset and tires. As far as ride quality....there is a point where if you drop too much then you get bump steer and wheel hop as well as a million other problems. That should be about 2 to 2 1/4 inches! I'm dropped about 4in front and 3 3/4 rear. As far as the rims...if you are going with 18x10+38 with 265 tires that is optimal. Anything wider and you will never use that much tire(in my opinion) if you are looking for stretch tire then you can put 225 width tires and go around +0 offset with some camber. Just keep in kind that if you run stretch tire I would slam your car like me, or it will look like total crap.
I've did a lot of setups, and helped a lot of people so if you have questions pm me as you are about to get blasted by 50 posts that say stance sucks




Like smike above
