18x9.5 +30 anyone?
 

Hi, a buddy of mine recommended i run 18x9.5 +30 offset for the FR-S, i was just wondering what i should be worried about and/or what i may need to get done/replaced in order to have it fit fine. i saw @autofashionfred was running this setup and seemed alright, hoever he was on coils and i didnt see what camber he was running. any help is appreciated. Thanks!

My current setup:

Eibach sportline springs
Koni Yellow shocks/struts
SPC Front camber bolt
SPC control arms

Why don't you ask your buddy since it is his recommendation? He should know everything about it to make that call.

Hey was saying most likely require pull and camber, i just wanted to see what settings peoe are currently running if they are running the 18x9.5 +30 or what the professional input is

Running 18x9.5 +38 square with plenty of room for camber adjustment or no camber. Don't see why +30 would require rolling. Sub 30 though is a different story.

Don't listen to him then since he doesn't appear to know what he is talking about, or listen to him and get him to sort it all out for you.

Also depends on how much you're willing to run camber and/or stretched tires. +20 on 9.5 is possible without pulling your fenders.

That offset isn't ideal, 45+ is what I recommend, It will fill the space under the fenders, and you will need less camber, and you won't need to stretch the tires.

18x9.5 +25 with 215/40s. square setup. all fenders rolled. I think -3.5 degrees of camber in the front and 4 in the rear. Maxed out my camber plates and have whiteline front camber bolts. Camber in the rears are just from natural camber

Look up Turn In Concepts. They are/were running 18x9.5" +30 with nice fat tires (I want to say 265s), with no modification other than camber bolts up front (before going to coilovers).

Any link ? I'm in the same boat as the op ...thanks in advance

no roll or pull, -2 deg up front -1.5 out back

I don't have a list of links sitting around, but you can check their build thread.

Thanks neme! How's the steering response toward the road with that camber specs ?

So you're the one who bought sultan's rims. I keep thinking your car is(was) his lol.

lol yeah. A few people thought my car was his. Im not sure but I might have met you a few weeks ago at the drive@ucr meet?

Yeah, I also see you parked by the chameleon truck every day whenever I go to the gym haha

Steering response is nice and tight . twss

225 sized tires...265s will rub without sufficient camber. Different tire types/compounds will be different dimensionally even under the same called out size.
