To me, it looks like you could easily fit a 9.5 +10 to +15 in the rear. Judging from the pictures anyway. That's what I'll be going for.

id say you could "easily" fit more aggressive up front. rear would require more work.
youd also run in to more issue with rear bumper mounting point.. and the front sidemarker when going more aggressive.

I was thinking 9.5 +20 up front, running a 215/45 would get rid of some the issues?

So the sidewall of the tyre of far to large?

a 215 would give more room yes. just dont know how id feel putting that on a 9.5 up front.

how are you liking the BC BR coilovers at this point since you have had them for awhile? Would you recommend them for someone just wanting to lover their ride 1.7 inches for DD and the occasional drift event? Is the back end easier to kick out since you can stiffen it up more? thanks! oh and these are the 8kg spring rate correct?

good bit actually out of the rear. currently limited on camber adjustment though until i get adjustable toe rods. had the rears at -1.5 and didnt have issues, just couldnt get the crazy toe adjusted within spec with the stock pieces.
