Thanks! I'm dropped about 2 inches, and don't think I'll be able to get within spec without camber kits. I have SPC kits for the front and rear, however my rear camber far out of spec at -2.8 because I don't have the toe bolts installed (I'm getting toe arms soon; can't adjust camber without affecting toe). My front camber is barely out of spec at -1.4.

OEM 18s are 18x8 +43
I sent Lt8ches a PM but I am freaking impatient... does anyomne knows if he had to do some fender work to make those 265s fit in the front? I have people telling me I have to if I go that way.

EDIT: And the answer is no trimming of any kind was required,

Glad you got your answer, I thought he didn't have any issues w/ that setup.

Yes, Lt replied. I think I want similar... Meaty tires. Looking at some Enkei Tenjin 18x9.5. ET30. I'm going to need hub rings for sure.

Hey so I am about to pull the trigger on a set of niche M157 in 20x10 +40 all around wrapped in 255/35/20 pss. I was curious if I could run this and run into no problems.
*I am soon to be lowered on fortune 500 coils and don't have the sport brakes*

My other question is that I am an AWD and I was curious if its best to run 20x8.5 +35 235/35/20 all around / 20x10 +40 255/35/20 all around or a staggered setup

Sounds like a good fit once you drop the car. (I assume you're a sedan based on the spec you're going for?)


Your best bet with AWD is to run the same size all around. Staggered is possible, just make sure your tire diameters match between front and rear.

Do you have a coupe or sedan?
Like 93 mentioned, going staggered you must be very close diameter front to back, anything over 1% difference may cause issues.
Use this calculator for help

Sorry I forgot to add. I am a sedan. after reading more and more I am in love with your setup 93. SO as of now I am between the 19x9.5 +35 245/40 much like your car because of the looks and no rubbing at all. Or the 20x10 +40 255/35 and run into a chance of rubbing.

I believe Gregor12 ran 19x10 +40 with no issues, might want to search up some of his photos or contact him. Thanks for the compliment btw

If you love 93s setup I'd run his setup, can't do much better on a square set IMO, and will be a bit more responsive w/ the steering not going w/ 10s in front.

No problem man! If my car ends up nearly as nice as yours I'd be ecstatic

Thats actually what I deiced on doing, I put in the order yesterday so they should hopefully be here within a week or 2. Niche M157 19x19.5 +35 wrapped in 245/40/19 Pilot super sports. I cant want to get everything on!

And thank you very much to the both of you for helping me out with my decision. Before this I was all over the place!

All calculators say it should be "hellaflush"; since I am thinking meaty tire (265 on a 9.5) it got me worried. I am low on Eibach.

+20 or +34... decision, decisions... again.

Lt8che is pretty flush IMO and he's running 9.5 +30 on 265s on his X coupe.
The +34 will give you more tire options, the +20 will lock you in to a much narrower group of tires.
