To turn this into a stance v. performance thread is ridiculous and likely confusing for the OP.
I know what stance v is and hate it. Looks broken to me and would never do it |

18x9.5 +45 surely only pokes in the rear on a stock suspension car with little to no camber. What exactly are the supporting specs for this claim? (tire size, suspension, camber, ride height...) EDIT: and up front, I have the same spec wheel on my moderately lowered car (with 255/35s) and I want to space them OUT, if anything. I rub the inner fender liner at full lock... and a lower offset (closer to +40) would be better

Really though, the coils were a godsend. Had them on the car for about 2 years and 20k miles now. They really do everything @Moto-P set them up to do. For the price, the comfort and performance have been a total win. My only issue with the wheels has been that curb rash is hard to mend due to the gorgeous two-tone finish. Eventually I'll probably end up fixing the rash on mine and then powdering them bronze like the new factory bronze version. My car is black so it'll end up looking something like the FT86SF car here:http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109671 As-Is To-Be |

For reference, I am at 18x8.5 et 45 up front and run a 15mm spacer for an effective offset of et30. I still have about 10mm of room to come outward (poke more) in the front that would still tuck. I run a 225 section tire that gives some space, but could easily go 245 in the same brand (BFG Geforce Sport Comp2s) which run very wide. I am lowered 1.6" in the front with 2.0 degrees of negative camber. Here's a close up. |

The following is needed to have an accurate comparison if you are only looking at pictures: change in static ride height vs stock camber tire size tire type wheel width wheel offset wheel maker of the above items I listed, 5 out of 7 are not consistent measurements across the industry. 18x9.5" +38 can vary by as much as 5mm in each direction on the front face, depending on who makes the wheel. In practice, you should lay out goals you want and then go from there. If you are set on wheels then you can remove three of the 7 things I listed above. -alex |

I understand what your saying about the many things that vary. I feel like it'd be a safer bet for me to go 18x8.5 +38. Especially after the pictures provided. |

If you want a really agressive fitment and don't care much for square setup and don't mind stagger you could do 18x8.5 +35 front and 18x9.5 +40 rear it'll pretty much line up flat with car body but leave enough room to not scrape ender wall. If you do go 18x9.5 all around front wheel will stick out more than rear. After that you'll probably want coilovers if you don't already have it, find one that'll give about 3 in drop adjustable, than get some LCA to adjust camber in rear , optional to have camber bolt in front to adjust camber. -1 ish camber won't be noticeable which will give you some room for tinker with.
