It may be slightly different with the car lowered, I will see once I get the tires on.

I'll double check my car aswell. Prior to this setup I ran 18x10 +38 up front. Only clearance issues I've ever had was in the rear. (Have to bend ebrake line brackets)

Exactly what OmarGC said. I had to bend my rear brake line bracket because the wheel was rubbing it. The front I have zero issues with the brake line before and after the 7mm spacer. My reason for the 7mm spacer is because of the CUP system I have on my coilover. Other than that you are safe to run a 18x10 +40 up front with no spacers.

So I just put everything on, and there's two points:

1) rear does not require e-brake bracket bending. The wheels fit without any modification in the rear
2) fronts: at full lock, the wheels hit the stock sway bar in the back, and hits the brake line bracket in the front.

Pics to follow shortly, too tired to resize.

Setup:
18x10 +40 ZE40
Falken Ziex FK453 255/35-18 all-around.

Good balance between aggressiveness and elegance, great build! But, I liked it better before the wing.

What rear and spats are those?

Dang that's crazy. Are you on coilovers or stock struts? Secondly if you have coilovers, did it come with shorten end links for your sway bar up front?

At full lock, non of my wheels or tires contact the front sway bar. This is while sitting on the alignment rack with full weight of the car set on the wheels/tires. Could it be possible that when unloaded, the geometry of the wheel fitment has an impact on your sway bar.

Full Varis Arising 2 kit.

Ohlins, stock endlinks.

I tested out fitment both with suspension unloaded, as well as on alignment plates to move around with suspension loaded. The wheels do hit the front brake bracket at full lock, even if the sway bar wasn't in the way.

It's not a huge deal, just need to be careful when parking, that's all.

Lol can you take a pic of where it will hit? I'm absolutely clueless as to where you're hitting when you say brake bracket.

[raytrix]

I'm with Omar on this one. Brake bracket on the front wheel section????? My Stance coilovers came with replacement endlinks for the sway bar.

"Hardline to softline connection" bracket is where it hits.

It might be an alignment issue, but I'm not running anything crazy other than maxing out caster adjustment on my Raceseng CasCam uppers.

My Ohlins did not come with replacement endlinks.

Hmm... What's your caster at? I'm set right at 6.5 degrees

-1.7 camber, 0 toe, 6.5 caster

I'll kick my caster up when I get the chance, see if I can make it happen...

Have yet go to an event since I had this specific set of wheels in which forces me to max it out and kick my camber down to -2.4 or less. However I had a set of 18x10 +38's with 245/35's in which I ran essentially your current alignment specs and did get an occasional "grind/rub" at full lock under compression and never really looked into it but kinda makes sense... If it's close I'm likely going to relocate that bracket location while my car is still down for the winter. Thanks!

Here's my setup.. I'm on 285/30's I have a big poke at the rear.. Going to have to pull the fenders some more
