Ok.. i'm surely gonna buy the camber arms for the front and back... and i think i'm gonna buy the 245 tires for the front and 275 for the rears then.

I used to have the Eibach springs but moved on to the KWv3 coils but I never need the front camber arms and never installed my toe bolts. I did need rear arms and went with the beefy SPL version.

Yep, those SPLs are a nice arm for sure.

Somewhere between $100 - $150 installed, I don't remember. I bought them off a local coupe owner who was moving on to a Z3.

i dont see the necessity of running staggered tires if your rims are the same width...

i suggest strictly 245/40/19 all around or if you really want to stagger it then 285/35/19 rear (you'll get quite a bit of pinch, which i don't suggest. a little is good for performance). alternatively, find a set of tires close to 776 rev per mile

I will have to go with the normal setup then... Cuz im gonna lower the car anyway and 245/40/19 seems legit to me... But it might stretch the tires a bit,right?

But what i wanna ask is this... What kinda tires do i need to buy for these wide wheels... And will the front wheel rub when i turn or something?
Because those things are once again... Wwwwiiidddeee!!

P.s i have lowering springs at home but i haven't installed them yet.
Any info would be appreciated.
Your brother is way nicer than mine. Just saying.

245/40/19 tires are perfect to run all around on 9.5" wide rims. Not a stretch at all, I was running 245/40/19 General G-Max tires on a 10" rim in the front with an Eibach pro kit drop.
