Car looks great but is it even streetable at that ride height or was that only for pictures? Looks like less than 1 finger gap in the rear and tucking tire in the front. Also why would you run a spacer in the rear on a 18x10.5" +15? It already sits past flush with that offset. What's your clearance in the front about 2"?
I'd lower mine more but not that low, couldn't clear a speed bump to get into the parking garage at the office lol.

So I've been thinking on what size wheels I should get.
It's between 18x9.5 +12 (255/35/18) vs 18x10.5 +22 (265/35/18)
Currently I run -2.3 front and -2 rear. Non rolled fenders, I'd like to avoid rolling fenders.
I'm also running on Eibach Pro Kit Springs, I don't recall the number of the drop on those thing.
It's about a 0.5" more than Swift Springs if that helps.(Guessed)
Well, anyways let me know if you think I can pull off 18x10.5 +22 w/ 265's, and -2.3F and -2R camber.
Thanks!

Honestly, to me the car is not that low, it is 2" clearance in the front but because of the way the X is designed, the sides and rear have tons of room.

-relieve the constraint of wheel/tire sizing based on your fixed ride height.. in other words - get the wheels you want (based on performance/price criteria I assume)
-have the ability to go lower without fear of rubbing, scraping, etc since coilovers are much stiffer
-everything else that makes coilovers > springs
that being said, based on my judgement from eibach springs (my car came with these as a surprise, everything else was bone stock, even the dealer didn't know it had lowered springs on it, and it being the only X on the lot I assumed it came at that ride height

but you should roll your fenders, its good for you
