Sorry guys, I went through like 6 pages and couldn't do any more. I think I'm getting new wheels pretty soon for my 09 DGM hatch, and am looking at probably some 17x9. The suspension is stock right now, but I know a guy who has some springs to take it down about an inch (don't remember brand). Will I need fender rolling? Anyone else running something similar?

And what's everyone's opinion on the best color for the dgm? I would like maybe bronze but not sure if it will work... Black if I have to.

I tried to throw a set of 8.5x18, ET 44 Rotas w/ 245/40/18 Federal SS595 tires (run pretty wide for a 245) on my '09. I'm pretty low - running RCE Blacks springs & konis - 13.5" from the hub center to the top of the fender arch.
No dice. Too aggressive for my taste - the tires protruded beyond the fender by about 1/4". I would have had to roll my fenders & dial in too much negative camber to tuck 'em in. It looked like I'd have to pull the fenders a bit, too. So, I went with the same rim, but in an 8x18 ET 48 w/ 245/40/18 Hankook V12 Evos. Fitment is just right. |

Fenders rolled. Sliiiight pull but I still have room for more rubber. I think you could get away with just a roll at all four corners.

Yeah, that's like not shaving your balls. Just saying.
Nah, if you don't wanna roll, stick with 235's to be safe. |

I'm not keeping this car forever so I don't want evidence that it was modified to fit larger wheels/tires. Plus, I'm getting Konis and new tires installed soon so if I can avoid spending additional money on rolling fenders, then it just makes it that much easier on the wallet.
The biggest thing is I just want to reduce some wheel gap, increase my sidewall and get rid of the small amount of stretch I have going on, which a 235/40 will do; just not as much as a 245/40. |

235/40R18's fill it very nicely, in my opinion.
