right now mostly stock suspension (just got a front sway bar which I'm still playing around with). I will be putting on Swift springs and SPL FUCA+rear camber arms as well, which I have already ordered.

Alignment is stock as well, which I wasn't the happiest with, but once the springs and arms came in I was planning to initially go

front
caster maxed (up to 7.5)
camber -2.0
toe 0

rear
camber -1.5
toe +0.04 or 1/32"

see how it drives, and then adjust from there. I may want more negative camber up front if my tires dont wear too much and less rear negative camber for straight line launching if it is a problem (or more if it isn't)

The 295/30’s are full figured on the 10” wheel & 26.15” diameter in the Michelin PS4S,,,the width of the 265 would probably be the same fullness width wise; but it’s advertised at 26.3”...a slight negative rake.
255/35,295/30 combo would be nearly same diameter with good fit...lowering car,you could still push the wheels outward quite a bit-considering how the oem Sport wheels are sunk pretty well.

I think the swift springs have a 1.2" f drop and 1.0" r. Does this result in 0.2" of positive rake or am I mistaken?

So then the 0.15" negative rake from the 265/295 setup would be offset by the positive rake of 0.2" from springs correct? Or would I want even more positive rake compared to OEM?

The alignment after you get the arms will make a difference. Hell, u can go to -3 camber

Getting ready to place an order on some Work CR 2P, but want to get confirmation I'm looking at the correct offset. I have stock suspension with Sport Brakes:

Seems to be the safe choice:
Front:
19x9.5 +25 (275/35-19)
Type R Disk

Rear:
19x11 +15 (325/35/19)
Type A Disk

I was thinking of trying
19x9.5 +23
19x11 +13

But i'm not sure if this will be too much for the stock suspension.

Thanks for your help!

I got 19x10 +20 R disk and 19x12 +20 A disk. Hopefully to wrap in 275/35R19 and 335/30R19 NT05's. I have Fortune Auto coilovers though so I've got some adjustment there.

I ran the 19x9.5 +25 with the 275/35-19 on front with stock suspension for a while with no issues.

Don't think it'll look good with stock suspension
also concerned about that much tire on those specs rubbing

Those sizes are fine with even a mild drop tho

You really should go suspension before wheels, if you can't do both at the same time

No...............they won't fit. Looks like specs for a Civic. And they would look better on a Civic too.

Looking at purchasing Gram Lights 57CRs in 19x9.5 +25 (F) and 19x10.5 +12 (R)...wondering if these will clear my Akebonos and fitment wise (flush/poke if any). I'm currently on a subtle 1in drop.

On the fitment page on Rays website, it designates icons to specific chassis'...one being 350 & 370 and another solely 370. I'm starting to think one is sports model and one is not when referencing the 370 icon? https://www.rayswheels.co.jp/product...=en&wheel=57CR

Any input would be greatly appreciated as vendors I've contacted haven't been able to give a clear response.

Hey man! Not sure if you tried contacting me or not but I have sold this exact same setup to someone running Akebonos and it fit just fine. In fact, I have photos for you! Please hit me up if you want to get a set of these.

Customer didnt tell me his suspension setup. But it does look to be stock height. So this should give you an idea. But I have sold plenty of wheel setup similar to this and you will be fine with your 1 inch drop. It will be a little inside fender. He also got a set of the Black/Blue center caps and the new Project Kics Monolith lugs from us as well.

19x9.5 +25 Front / 19x10.5 +12 Rear | Gram Lights 57CR

Can you tell me the front and rear tire size specs on this set up? Thanks.
