Have a Question/s About Wheels/Tires/Offsets/Camber/Etc? Ask here::
The front isn't an issue, you'll just need some camber out back.
Springs are 1" up front (feels like slightly more, has a 1 finger gap), and 0.6" in the back.
Camber specs are -1.1º on the fronts and -1.3º on the rears.
I should be able to fit slightly meatier tires on the back if I wanted right (although this would probably just further the dodge neon look of the uneven drop)? Doesn't running identical diameters front and back mess with the VDC?
EDIT: any reason to not got for a 265/40? It seems closer to factory spec according to online size calculators

And my apologies I replied to too much in that go lol I totally forgot you are running 18s. 265/40 would probably be your best bet, slightly larger than stock, but that's ok!
I would like to get spacers for my aftermarket wheels to give it a more aggressive look but not really that "hella flush" look that you need to slam the car to get them in the wheel well. Any idea on the thickness I would need?
Here are the specs on my Volk Racing wheels:
F - 19x8.5 21mm
R - 19x10.5 23mm
I'm going for this look

So let me know what you would like to spend and I'll see if I can help you out!
I'm running 245/35 and 275/35 up front. I don't have a crazy drop but my front wheels seem pretty tucked and my car isn't slammed. I have a picture on my phone but can't post it just yet.
Ok, well with the 8.5 front it makes it a little tougher since the 245 is basically maxing out the width of that wheel. But still doable.
You have at least an inch up front so you could start with a 25mm spacer there and pull the fender liner screws out, the rear really depends on how much camber the car has out back.
Have you already rolled the rear fenders?

Within the next few months I want to swap out the OEM wheels. I tried reading the first few pages and very little applied to the sizes I'm looking to do. '06 Sedan with stock Z suspension (coils, struts, shocks all revised setup). Currently on OEM 10-spoke 18's and 20mm CZP spacers. Interested in the XXR 526 Black Chromium in 18X9. They list offsets of +35 and +25. From what I got off of the back of the OEM wheel is 42mm offset. With 20mm spacers, that puts me at 22mm offset. Correct? If not, where did my math go wrong? If correct, then I shouldn't have any issues putting the +25 option 18X9 wheels on? Meaning no fender rolling or pulling or cutting sidewalls with suspension travel? I'm not looking for "hellaflush" or staggered. I just want to line up the side real nice. I want to retain the proper tire diameter for the 18" wheels, so I need some recommendations for the proper tire to go on these without stretching sidewalls to get them on. No super low profile options please.
My Setup:
9.5" +15 235/35/19 F
10.5" +15 255/35/19 R
Stock Suspension
My Question(s):
Plan to roll my fenders, what kinda drop + spacer can I get away with while keeping camber near OEM specs? I want to be as flush and aggressive as possible without wearing my tires out prematurely and losing traction.

So basically, up to +5mm, if my fenders are rolled, I don't need to worry about rub at all?

need help again.......i have some staggered 20 inch asanti wheels on my sedan that came off a coupe ( poking a little) and trying to figure out the specs because the previous owner of the wheels has no idea. Where do i measure from to figure out the widths and is there anyway to tell the offsets by just looking at them? The tires are currently 245 35 and rear 275 30. The fronts arent stretched at all and the rear looks a little stretched i want to change tires for a more stretched look any suggestions. Was thinkin about 225 30 and 255 35

To get the offset measure the wheels total width (not wheel width from bead to bead but literal width, aka Edge to edge)
Then take a straight edge and lay it across the back of the wheel, then measure the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the straight edge. this measurement will be your backspacing.
Now do the math, take the overall width and divide it by two. Now subtract the remaining number from the backspacing.
Convert that amount into MMs.
Thanks. 
On the same note, if I wanted to get 10mm spacers, what is the the best way to go? Is there a particular brand or type that's considered the highest quality? I want a sturdy solution for a DD car.

You'll have to measure the depth of the cavity in your wheel then measure your OEM stud and subtract 10mm (size of the spacer) if you have a deep enough cavity then you're good.
If not, you'll need to run extended studs and a slip on spacer.

quck setup question.
coupe on z stechs with springmount mod and 20mm spacers all around and rolled rears. wheels are 20x8.5 +18 20x10 +20. so ill be -2 up front +0 out back. is a 225/35 and 245/35 doable? camber in the front is -1.5 and the rear is floating around a -3. thanks !
