Are you looking at anything other than 18x9.5?

I have a question for all of you meaty tire buffs. I just installed 18X8.5 +42 and 18x9.5 +43 rims on my car with 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 (front/rear respectively). My only suspension mod right now is the TRD springs which lower the car about .8 inches. Everything is perfect and I wouldn't have noticed rubbing (no sounds heard ever) except this morning while washing the wheels i noticed that the rear tires had a slight marking on them (pic provided) suggesting they were slightly rubbing on the fender wall (both sides). No other evidence of rubbing (No dents, no black marks no paint cracking. Don't plan to track this for now, so I only want the most practical solution that works. Any suggestions? I wanted to go with the whitetline camber adjustable bushings for the rear but don't know if that will be enough...dont want to spend 150$ on this to later find out I need control arms as well... I seems I only need a little more - camber?? SPC control arms? I know nothing. Thanks! @Sportsguy83 ?

I needed a slight fender roll to fit 265 tires on the back. A slight fender roll will do the trick. My wheels are 18X9 +40. To adjust camber, SPC LCA is the way to go...

I hope fender rolling solves this

It will. The mark shows very little is needed.

The particular wheels I want come in 9.5 and 8.5 +45 (will be +34 with adapter).

Once my swap is done, i'll be around 500whp on 93 until the rear end is built. I'd like to get as much tire under there as I can.

If you click the picture it will take you to his Photobucket account with more photos. Looks like he only has a front brake set, looks amazing though.

grostoine · 05-26-2014, 04:17 PM

I am currently looking to find some rear brembo too. 2008+ model are very hard to find. They are all gone even before I could say i want them!

I will probably go with the 2004-07 model. I know I need the bracket adapter. I like them more over the 08+ model too.

Thanks for the good comment !!

Went to get the fender roll and the guy found out that the tires werent rubbing at all!!! It appears that the culprit is a plastic tab from the bumper which is already "sanded out" by the tires. The line on the tires is basically melted plastic. The piece that was rubbing was extremley small. Gone now. So now perfect fitment without use of any camber or toe settings. Only dropped on TRD springs! 265 tires in the back will fit awesome!! Who would have known (wheel offset 43 btw)
