Thinking... Rota Grid 18x10 +15 plus Eibachs, any problems?

Hey everyone,

I am looking at purchasing a set of Rota Grid's 18x10 +15 and I will be putting the Eibach prokit on. Am I going to have a rubbing issue or should I be fine? I dont have a problem going with a smaller tire, i just want an aggressive look.

Let me know if I'm just being stupid too, sorry its 1am.

you're going to rub lol roll the rear fenders and you might have to massage the front fender liner, or worst case remove it

So would I be better off getting the 9.5s if I don't want to roll the fenders?

if think you'll have to roll the rear fenders anyway I have grids in 9.5 +20 and i can foresee a rolling in my future when i lower my car, i rub in the front when full lock to the right, but no rub full lock to the left.

I'm wondering the same, but have no problem rolling fenders or triming fender liners, but how about camber? I'd like to keep the stock camber range.

^^ I don't think you should stretch a 245 onto a 10" rim, at least I wouldn't. you run the risk of the sidewall becoming part of the tread a little. but its your wheels.
