If you are on coils and you plan to stretch and run about -3 of rear camber, you will be fine. I am currently on +22et on 19x8.5 and I have more room in F&R.

I think you might be able to pull it off still with springs but I am not quite sure about Eibach since they're not that low. I'd at least go with H&R's for a more aggressive drop for your offsets.

You will definitely need a rear camber kit to dial in the extra camber in the rear. Drop on Eibach Prokit will put you at roughly around -1.8 in the rear. I don't think that would be enough to clear the rear fenders IMO.

Why? You can definitely run those specs. Just need a drop, slight stretch, and some added camber. If I were you though, before I invest in some wheels, I'd rather do a proper drop with quality coilovers/camber kit. Once you decide on a suspension set up, it will make shopping for wheels much easier in regards to specs.

Try looking into the BC coilovers. They are fully adjustable and are supposed to be one of the better coilovers in the sub $1k price range. Tananbe Sustec are about $800 but don't have dampening adjustability.

GL!

just hoping if i get mines +22 offset they won't look like these


Not trying to fit those in....
Those are 19x10.5 +15 with 285 on the rear. It could fit if i had a way smaller tire on

IMO there is a fine line b/w being aggressive, and being down right stupid. That would fall in the 2nd category. I am glad you decided to go with your current set up instead.

Ive ran 10.5 +22 with 255/35
Youll be fine its a very weak poke. Barely any with natural negative camber from the drop...
Eibachs are pretty weak drop... I know on H&R there is no problems
