You are heading into Mexiflush territory lolol. The wheels are waaaay too wide/too low offset for a car on stock suspension. To give you an idea what I'm talking about here are a few pics of my car on 18X9 +25 (including 5mm spacers) wheels and 235/45/18F 245/45/18R tires dropped 3". I literally have a cvnt's hair of clearance both F/R between the tires and the fender. Bonus is with quality adjustable camber arms and toe bolts my alignment specs are in factory settings so even tire wear and great performance. The wheels you are pondering will stick out another .5 inches and w/o a drop and some decent negative camber added they will look dumb IMHO. HTH

That's one good looking sumb!tch if I do say so myself lolol.
Illa I would say that depends on the size of your tires, but with a mild drop I think you're still poking quite a bit and the setup might not fit properly. A healthy drop, yes it's possible but then you're looking at substantial tire wear. Your choice.

04 Coupe with stock brembos and I'm looking for RPF1s. Currently on stock suspension and alignment, may get coilovers eventually and add a little camber. I'm looking for a square setup for summer tires and for track days.
Here's what they offer, what would fit best? I'm looking for widest tire I can fit without rubbing. I'm ok with a slight fender roll, but nothing else. I'd be interested in hearing suggested tire sizes as well.
17x8.5 +30, +40
17x9 +22,+35,+45
17x9.5 +18,+38
Thanks!

Planning my drop
So my budget was limited, the store was out of like everything, I'm impatient, so staggered wasn't an option. I'm currrently running 18x8.5 +20 all around. Same tire sizes (225/45/18F 245/45/18R).
I'm planning to drop it on Tein G35 S-Techs...
So if a 20mm spacer in the front and a 25mm spacer in the back would work on the stock setup, should I go with a 10mm spacer in the front and a 15mm spacer in the back?
I've been looking at calculators online but I'm just getting a headache. Camber kit is not in the budget currently but it will definitely be done within a year.
Thanks in advance. New here and nobody seems to have my strange setup
