    18x8.5 ET32 is the magic setup for the flush to the fender look.

    Max tire width is 235

    You can run a 18x9.5 ET32 in the rear if you adjust your camber to -2.0deg and tweak the toe settings.

    Re: 18x9.5

    ok so with that said 35mm offset in the rear will keep camber and toe closer to stock got it. so 32 is the lowest offset without flares?

    I ran 19x8.5 ET30 but you will have a bit of rubbing on the fronts with a 235 series tire.

    Re: 18x9.5

    Well if you only pull in the wheel 2mm but add 10mm of tire on each side I don't think it is going to work.

    Re: 18x9.5

    only reason im asking is because i just ordered 19x8.5" VMR V710's with the et35. I used to have the V708's in 19x8.5" et38 running 245/35/19 and they were fine, actually still had some room so spare, not much, but it was there.

    Re: 18x9.5

    A 9.5 rim will only fit properly with atleast a 44-45mm offset, regardless of suspension setup.

    My Eibach Prostreets are just about flat bottom in the rear. There was 3 turns or so left...

    No rubbing unless I had 2 backseat passengers.

    There is no way you could be that low on 255's
