Wow that's nice. How dropped are you and what fender work have you done. When I get my wheels I want to eliminate most if nit all fender gap. Such a turn off lol

My setup isn't +0 offset but close +12.
I'm dropped on Z s-techs & Tokico HPs with the rear spring mount mod.
So I'm dropped about F-1.2" R-1.3"
Wheels are 9.5/10.5 with +12 offset.
I only bothered with a rear camber kit and ended up well within oem spec after alignment.
The rear looks a little too fat cause they're 285s, I'll be switching those out for 275s eventually.
This will even out the look a lot more betwen the front and rear.

^^looks nice man. I'm just waiting for the rims to be available at 12 offset. At the moment though I'm going to try to buy some coilovers. My shocks are going bad so coilovers seem like a good thing to buy. Don't want to spend 1k for coilovers though. I wanted BC but it's too costly. I prefer to buy used. Maybe around the 500-600 range

First check the private classified for some good used coilovers and then go with the +0 offset wheels

Yea I'm looking but can't find any for my price. I wanted to find local so I don't need to pay for shipping but craigslist doesn't help either. I was thinking about ordering the +0 offset and just keep them in the garage until I drop my car about an inch or a little more

Okay I'm going to order the +0 offset right now. At the same time I'm going to look for coilovers. How much of a drop should do for the offset to look right? And what tires should I run on the 9.5 and 10.5 width?

just get coilovers first then mess with the height to see what ur comfortable with then get rims. dont skip steps or else you'll be spending a lot more money than what you may have originally planned.

I'm guessing you meant 19" tires not 20" lol. The wheels are 19" not 20". I wish they were 20"

No, hes saying drop it 2 or more inches, and thats not that bad of a drop at all. If you get +12 you could always go with a spacer. And do what everyone is saying get coils first, and be patient with stuff like this. Its worth it.

FYI, if u do go with these tire sizes on 9.5/10.5 rims the tires are going to be really stretched.
It will look good with the proper drop but the ride comfort will be seriously diminished.
If at all possible find a G u can ride in with this tire setup.
It'll atleast give u a good idea of the ride quality before u drop all that cash on tires.
