lol... yeah right... You'd need atleast a 2" drop with a 225/40 tire up front and a 245/40 in the rear (big stretch) with atleast -2 degrees of camber all around.

That is hella-aggressive. My 10's are 42 offset and they are a bit more than flush. Those might stick out 1.5 inches, if you like that look, just dont lower it. You'll rub your paint off and probably a few tread blocks.

that's because you're like me and are one of the few people here that dont mind running excessive negative camber to fit aggressive setup's, even if it's a DD.

Most of the time when i tell people they have to run more than 2 degrees of negative camber freak out and get something conservative.

Why buy a wheel that simply does not fit and put 4 degrees on it? You might as well get out a blow torch and cut out your fender wells? - to make them fit. 4 degree's is not in spec for any car. I'd bet you wear out your inner edge in about 3 weeks. Why?

Most people dont know that it's actually your TOE specs that kill your tires if they're out. Camber doesnt affect it nearly as much as long as you drive the right way.

Yes to some degree, but at 1.6 degrees of camber out front and with my toe in-spec I got substancial wear in only about 8,000 miles. Unless you like the look of your wheels being tucked-in cartoon style, why would anyone order wheels that agressive? I could not really allow for a much wider wheel, you will just rub on the insde if you get too wide. In-spec and wide or out of spec and wide, I'd take in spec anyday.

The whole point of getting aggressive wheels and having all that negative camber is so they are more flush than any other setup, they most definitely are NEVER tucked-in.

You gotta pay to play as they say, it's not for everyone, but those that are willing to replace tires atleast once a year... DO IT!

they will fit if your willing to go wide body.
I think there was this korean guy with an IP sedan that went Widebody and could add coupe offset rims.

There was a web site that allowed you to view offset side by side and it told you how much farther out they will hang and how much closer to you inner fender they will be. I cannot seem to find it so I grabbed a calculator to give you an idea of how aggressive a 10.5" 18 mm is. My wheels are 10 inches wide and have a 42 offest. They stick out about 3 mm on one side, with my camber kit and alignment in spec. These will stick out 1.18 inches farther than mine AND about 35mm past the fender, that's huge! Maybe not for a coupe but a sedan these won't fit.
