Nah it's on lower springs but needs to settle slightly on them before it get's a wheel alignment (meant to sag another 5-10 millimeters)
Tyres are 225/40/18 and 235/40/18

Volk Racing TE37's square setup. 18x9.5 +12mm, Advan Neova AD08 235/40 and Nitto NT05 225/40. Rolled fenders. JIC Magic Coilovers with 8K springs. Since this photo was taken (about 5 days ago), the front now sits about one full inch lower to eliminate the "reverse rake".

I have since adjusted the camber a little and the fitment improved. But you get the idea.

posted this in the tire thread but figured it might be better here:

can someone give me some advice? I got a set of wheels sitting here: 18x9 +25mm fronts and 18x10.5 +20mm rears. The tires I ordered are 245/35/18, and 285/30/18. I plan on lowering with coilovers to about one finger gap to no wheel gap, maybe tuck a tiny bit of tire. How will these fit? Will I be ok with a fender roll or will I need a fender pull too? The reason for this post is I may sell the tires for some less wide ones and hope the stretch will get me to fit easier and go as low as I'd like to.

i dont think you're going to be able to get the rears to tuck if you put a 285 on there

even with roll and pull? I sort of thought it would be difficult. Maybe I should sell the 285's and get some 255's? or put my 245's on the back and get some 225's for the front maybe

I'm running 18x10.5 +22 with a 245/40/18 and only the top of my tire tucks with the stretch. the wheel itself pokes past the fender by a few millimeters. it doesnt rub, but the rubber on a 285 would most likely stick out past the fender. if you punch the numbers into Online Wheel & Tyre Fitment calculator. Offset, Tyre stretch and Rolling Radius calculator, you'll see what i'm talking about.

Slight update to the post I made earlier.





Had to drop the front an inch or so more to make it a little more even versus the rear.

ok so I've decided to put the 245/30/18's on the rear 10.5 wheels, and I'll buy less wide tires for the front 9" wheels. Is 215/40/18 a good size to get?

For future reference:

18x9.5 +35 all around.
245/40ZR18 all around.
For daily driver use, works 100% fine with no rub, scrape or issues.

I have to run at this stupidly high suspension setting because this is as low as you are legally allowed to go here in Australia :/
