Finally dialed in my fitment!
 
4 Attachment(s)
After a few weeks of researching, bugging @subiyota on instagram, waiting for my wheels to get here from Hong Kong, etc. The car is finally dialed in.

Wheels: 18x9 +45 VOLK TE37SL Pressed Graphite (Discontinued Spec)
Tires: Yokohama Advan V601 255/35/18

As of posting, car is sitting at the shop awaiting alignment. I'm going to have roughly -1.2 dialed in the front. I will post alignment specs tomorrow.

No Rubbing, No Trimming, No Cutting, No Fender Rolling. Vehicle has been test driven at pictured height under aggressive driving, good bumps and full weight transfer with a passenger and no rubbing yet. :burnrubber:

I wanted to post up for those of you who are interested in running a 255 without cutting your car up. an 18x9 is the way to go.

If you go with 9 inch instead of 9.5 then you cant get concave wheels

9.5+40 is minimum for concave Te37 but you can only fit 245 tires if you dont want to trim

It’s a trade off for sure. I didn’t want to cut the car or run monster truck height just to have a concave face

the new te37sl saga in 8.5 and 9 inch width have a bit of concavity to them

It's 10 days and I still don't see full alignment specs. :)

My apologies! The alignment specs came out to -2.8R and -1.1F. Very functional. Only chassis / suspension modifications were my coilovers themselves.

I haven't had the chance to go up to the mountains, however over the few aggressive backroads / turns i've been able to engage what i'd consider a full weight transfer I'm still not noticing any rubbing or scrubbing.
When I have the opportunity to go up to the mountains and really toss this thing into some aggressive dips and corners I'll come back and update if the car is going to need any revisions in the ride height. However, with how good it's been so far I'm really thinking we got lucky the first time around with how it has been dialed in.

Thanks for the update! Typically you want more camber up front than in the rear.

I'm going 18x9.5 ET45, hoping to only have to do -2 or so in the rear, but I'll use the camber plates to dial in the front half a degree more and zero toe up front.

the camber in the rear is from the natural drop. If i dialed it out however I'd rub.

I appreciate it! Honestly one of the main selling points for me to get the premium... that and the marginally better audio system w/ the better suede seats.

Premium seats are soooo much better.

With my specs, I could probably get away with -2.3 to -2.5 but I really don’t know haha

This car is so meticulously dialed in. I am impressed that you managed to achieve the desired fit without any rubbing or modifications.
