Calling all stance guys!
 
I tried to avoid stance as long as possible but I've finally given in. I'd really like to get my setup correct the first time. I have a set of bbs rs' on the way and also some bc coilovers. Me knowing little to nothing about stance would like to know what else I would or if coilovers would be enough or if lca's camber bolts and top hats are all a necessity? I'd like to run a little bit of camber in the back nothing insane and maybe a little in the front. Also any recommendations on tire size that'd give me a decent stretch on a 17x8 wheel? Any added information by you guys would also be appreciated. Thanks!

need more info on wheel specs...but 17x8? those are tiny.. lol unless you have some ridiculous offset on them.

top hats no - coils will have camber plates up front already. LCA's or camber bolts will all depend on how low you go and if you want to increase/decrease camber from that point.

also depending on the offset you probably won't have to stretch the tire...only stretch them if you have to for fitment issues.

195 or lower.

They're 17x8 +20

As far as a drop goes. I'm planning on dropping it enough to leave very little wheel gap(2.5-2.75in)

17x8 +20 with a 215 width tire will be fine. A little bit of stretch but nothing retarded. Drop the car, roll fenders, and add some LCAs for rear camber adjustment and maybe some small spacers (5-10mm) and you'll be set.

215mm is about 8.4 inches
