Fender roll of 1’ in the front. A little camber play in the back. No need to roll the back. The offset is fine but you’ll rub a little bit when you bottom out on a dip. If you have more then 3+ people that are pushing 150lbs you’ll run on some running issues on tight curves.
Other then that if it’s just you and a significant other driving you’ll be good man. I loved my 235/35/19 set up.

Would love to see some more side shots or angled shots of the drop of your car/tire clearance if possible, about same dimensions I'm running and the minimum drop is about the same if I got ultralows, would u say you could drop it a bit lower without issues? I wouldn't be running spacers tho, no rub on hard cornering or turns? Looks real nice btw!

This is the only other pic I currently have. I will get more once the weather gets better. I have no rubbing so far unless i am going over uneven roads with the wheels turned and only on the front. I could go lower but would probably rub more than i am comfortable with. If you weren’t to run spacers i am sure you could go a bit lower before needing to roll fenders.

This. There's a noticeable difference. Or has it been a garage queen with 3k miles on it in 2 years? :iono:

I've seen lots of people recommending 17x7.5 et45 but am confused since that would poke 6mm further than my stock Detroits, and it doesn't seem that far from flush now (stock suspension). I really don't want to poke, so should I be sticking with something closer to the OG ET51?

I run 17x8 et45 with 245s for my Summers and they don't poke but the tire is pretty much flush with the fender. My winter setup is 18x8 et45 and tucks a tiny bit in the front and back. Honestly idk who has been recommending 17x7.5 et 45 since X x 8 et45 is the universal recommend daily driver wheel setup.

Thanks for the reply. Saw the 7.5/ET45 in a couple threads I can dig up again if anyone's that interested.
Wouldn't the 8/et45 poke ~12.4mm more than the stock 7.5/et51? I guess I need to eyeball some more with the tape measure.

Yea it move towards the outside of the fender more but it doesn't poke past the fender what so ever.

Looking into getting Solowerks Coilovers. I'm currently on H&R Super Sports with 18x8.5 ET45 Wheels and 225/40r18 tire. Fenders are not rolled, but I have done the fender screw mod. I'm wanting to go about a 0.5" lower, so about a 2" drop all around. Will a roll be needed for the fronts? Will 215/40r18 prevent me from having to roll, if the 225s will not fit?
