I was gonna go, but my shop told me not to exceed 35mph on my rear tires because of the stretch. I'm not trying to die so I won't be going. Can't wait to get rid of these wheels and get something more fitting.

Nothing wrong with that, If I go I'll have a beat-up Grand Am there again like last year.

I haven't checked if donuts would clear rear BBK. I was gonna pick up a set of ghetto donk 22s since they're so cheap on Craigslist and use those to drive down, and put the SSRs for the GTG. But I had a feeling that I'd get tempted to troll so hard and just roll in with the donk 22s.

It might fit. I have RacingBrake's 4-POT calipers on the rear and found out one night that the donut actually fits. But, at your height junker wheels are definitely a must.

Nice. Now would a 40 series be a bit much? Right now I'm on a 225/35/19f and 275/30/19r. Going to a 18" I wanna make sure my drop stays the same or goes a lil lower. Ideas?

Useful tool to calculate wheel fitment, rolling diameter, poke, etc.

http://www.willtheyfit.com/

Enter current specs on top boxes, new specs on lower boxes.

Another useful tool to check how tires stretch on wheels.

http://tyrestretch.com/

Choose specs via the drop down menus on top.

I still have these gangster SSR A2s



17" though. I'll have to see if they clear.

Here is the thing though he has these on his coupe with no spacers or mods to fenders and they look weak. My concern is that he isn't so sure on the offsets, he calculated +20 f and +25 r.

My question is if these offsets are correct will they work on my sedan with rolled rears and spc rears as well as fronts with out to much neg camber? And if they are correct wouldn't it be more aggressive on a coupe ? Thanks in advance!
specs should be 8.5 +25 and 9.5 +30, rears won't fit with that tire w/o a pull and camber, the lines of the sedan hide camber well, there's a lot more on my setup than appears. fronts will be fine on natural camber from a drop mild drop though
