Thanks for the info. Not to be a ****, but have you personally tried/seen a 18x9.5+38 with 255/??/18 tire setup on this car? If you could link to a post or something that would be very helpful to me! Thanks!

I would test fit the wheel on its own (with compression) and go from there. If you have clearance, then add crash/camber bolts to tuck it in a bit.
A 9.5" wide wheel is an ask with springs, it will be tight.
I fitted 245/35R18 on 18x9+42 for a customer a few weeks ago and they clear the strut (not the ideal offset).

Thanks, I think a 9 would be fine but I bought 9.5s. Thanks though!

So what you are saying is it has more to do with the way the lip on the inside of the wheel is, correct? If so it sounds like I need to dry fit my wheels when they are delivered, and I think you are also saying that if the wheel clears the spring perch, then the tire most likely will clear as well, correct?
I bought the AMBIT RE02 from @
JonMotoring, I got the 18x9.5+38 in "Hyper Black". Maybe Jon himself can comment on fitment, because I wasn't able to find a whole lot of info on tires being mounted on this wheel past 225 or 235 without using coilovers. I am currently just lowered using the Eibach Pro-Kit springs with no camber bolts, LCAs or anything else. My suspension is totally stock.
Also, can anyone tell me the best way to test fit the wheels while compressing the springs to make sure it clears? I just need to jack the car up from under that brake rotor, correct?
