Akebono Brakes (plenty of clearance)
BC Racing Coilovers - Currently set too low now with the 18s, so ill be raising it .25 inches F and R
Alignment - All in spec except for the fronts (-2.0 deg of camber). These settings will change after I make changes to the ride height.

No spacer needed right? I needed a 20mm with the +45's. It's very tight in there.

Check out my album for more pics!
That much poke is why I ran the 18x9.5+35 f and 18x10.5 +12 rears. Fitment was great and I was able to run 285 tires on front with perfect fitment and 305 rears and didn't have to roll pr pull fenders. The +10 fitment kind of leaves you screwed for more tire.

No, it doesn't rub at all. My wheels are 18x10 +35 / 18x10 +25 at the suggestion on the guy I ordered them from. The fronts were perfect but he blew the back ones, I have 20mm spacers on them in the picture.

You will have to have the camber for them not to stick out at the top.

TBH I'm horrible with this fitment thing.
Looking at some Cosmis Racing wheel
Xt-006r
18×9.5 +10mm 5×114.3

18×11 +8mm 5×114.3

I want to run a beefy set up on tires.
Would I have to do any fender work to make this work with these specs?

+10 on front is gonna require some fender rolling and possibly pulling even with stretched tires with a decent amount of camber. 18x9.5 +35 and I was able to run 285/35 tires on front with no rolling, or pulling the fenders. but I was running -2.8 camber for autocross.

my current setup is 245/40 front and 275/35 rear on the 18's. It would look a lot better with some springs but the handling and the acceleration are beyond better than stock...could have gone with the 285 but i didn't had time to buy them. Looking to buy cosmis wheels lol
