the drop alone will get you at least -1.7* in the rear so -2.5* will be easy with rear camber plates.
i prefer 255/35/18 for more meat and a far better tire selection.

When you want to run aggressive wheels, plan on aggressive suspension setups which include more camber than is typically run on a normal car. 2.7 is not that bad. Keep up on your tire pressure and you shouldn't experience any uneven wear. |

Thanks! but i dont think it will be that hard dmoneys car isnt pulled that much and he is running 255's with a lower offset than me. the 255/35 actually has a smaller sidewall than my 225/40 so that will help out as well

you'll need a lot more negative camber up front though. props for going with 255s.

You'll also need to trim the rear bumper brackets, forgot about that one. With your wheels it shouldn't be that bad, but pulling fenders adds a whole nother "oh ****" factor. very very very easy to **** it up. |

yeah i understand..im not really worried about running alot of camber up front it comes with the trade. i should be fine with the pulling process, i have done a few that turned out really good just havent done mine since there was no need for it. as soon as i get home and get the tires on and everything dialed in i will post some pics and let you guys know how hard it really was haha. thanks for the input! |

Hey guys im gonna start a new trend its called hellastock...
No srsly i have a fitment question, i plan on getting some XXR 521s, 18x8.5 +40 , Im pretty sure im going to have to run a 10mm spacer(similar to linea corse wheels) but im already sitting at -2*F and -1.6* rear, how much camber will i have to go to fit 245/35s or would 235/40 fit better. Minor stretch is ok but im not a huge fan, i can care less how much camber and fender work it takes |

you'll find more tires in 235/40/18 than you will 245/35/18. if you dial in more negative camber up front, you can leave the front fenders untouched. for the rears, roll them flat. you can run either tire size with your current negative camber if you use no spacers. if you choose to use 10mm spacers on the rear too, you can either run the 235/40/18 with more negative camber or pull the rear fenders too.

I'm looking at getting a set of Rota P1 18x8 +48 wheels for my 03 wrx. I'm currently lowered on S-techs (yes I know) and was planning on running a 235/40/18. Was just wondering if I'm going to need to roll the fenders.

Xxr 521 isn't actually bad for its size width & lip size it weighs 23-24 lbs. I know quite a few more expensive rims what weigh in the same range or more like for example the ssr sp1. With that size lip & width is in that weight range & those are expensive rims 600-700 per rim. Same with the work vs-xx & Bbs lms alot more expensive then the ssr & xxr rims

model: 2.5i Sedan wheel size: 17x8.25 wheel offset: +35 tire size: Undecided suspension: None..eventually springs (H&R possibly) fender mods: Hopefully none I just wanted to get your guys opinion on this setup. What tire size would you recommend and would I need to be doing any fender mods? Finally getting ready to purchase a set and I want to make sure they will fit no problem. Thanks in advanced!
