I been looking to do around 2 to 2.2 inch drop on her. I was hoping to just get by with the fender screw mod and not rolling the fenders.

I would drop it then look at the room you have for spacers

Just to share my experience I comfortably fit 18x8.5 et35 (225/40) on air and have no issues with rubbing! The tires are a little worn and I will report back when I put new ones on in the future if I run into any issues. My fenders are rolled and slightly pulled + fender screw mod.

Looking for some insight from the wheel guru. Im looking to build my set of bbs rs035. I want to put 3.5" 16>18 slant lips with 16>18 inner barrels at 5.5" on these faces. I would like to tuck the lip within the rear quarters without any roll/pull. The back pad is 1" if that helps.. I have a total of 10 degrees of camber adjustment. My current setup is 18x10 et30 rear at -5.9 degrees of camber w/ 1mm clearance to strut. Will it work?

I'm looking towards the mb battles that are 18x9.5 et15 wrapped with 225/40 r18
Would It require massive camber or fender rolling? To be tucking of course

LOL, I don't think those will fit with that offset
Lots of fender work/pulling

What suspension, out of curiousity?

I'm not sure about the rear but I fit 18x8.5 ET35 on 225/40 after roll and slight pull with a tiny bit of room to spare when aired out

Thanks bud. I have ran 225/40/18 on all my previous sets of 18x8.5 but with the eta 45 and had no issues. Thank you for the insight tho. Seems like the 215 is expensive compared to the 225. Go figure lol.
