18x9 wheels fit just fine, just need less offset on the wheels and you have enough clearance even with camber.

I run 18x9 +35 with 1" drop on Eibach Prokit and extra camber dialed in (-2.2) and I have about 4mm clearance to the strut.

I haven't forgotten about this thread, I just still don't have the wheels mounted yet, they're still sitting on my garage floor. Blame it on RCE for screwing up my T-zero order twice, I'm simply too busy to install my coilovers, for at least another week.

Promise once they're installed I'll have more/better pics.

He may have been referring to these wheels in particular, but yes a lower offset will give you more clearance required with the stock suspension.

Teaser

More pics in a few days when I have a chance. It's a bit too low in the rear, and a bit too high in the front, didn't do any adjustment.

That WRB with the gunmetal Bremmer's looks amazing. Thank you for the pic. Anything else you post will be appreciated, as those rims are currently at the top of my list.

Any idea how much you're lowered, and camber specs at the time of the pic?

Thanks, I think they look great

Since I'm a dork and didn't take stock measurements, I'm not quite sure exactly how low it is. I imagine it's about 1-1.25" down from stock, even drop all the way around.

Camber is currently 1.6degrees front, 0.9degrees rear.

At these camber specs and drop, I would say both front and rear are pretty much dead on flush. Much more camber and you will tuck slightly. Overall they are a good fit for a daily driver in my opinion, not too aggressive.

If I could change anything, I would get different tires. I don't really like these ones, and I feel like they run narrow. Maybe Michelin PSS next time around.
