Rubbing on this setup?

18x8.5 +38
18x9.5 +42

Suspension - Stock shocks, eibach pro-kit springs.

I tried the search function, but please try searching with words like "eibach", "Volk SE37a", and "rubbing". You get a TON of posts.

My big concern is the rear, as I used jimlabs wheel fitment calculator and they seem to fit fine. When I plugged 42 in the the rear offset, I got -.1 for the Outside Tire Clearance (hence my concern since that is on the stock suspension).

Anyone have any experience with a similar setup?

Thanks!

Steve

The rears are fine, it's the fronts that are pushing it. I would expect to roll the front fenders with that setup.

Nope, you're going the wrong way.

+40 to +50 for 8.5 wheels. +38 would be ok for stock ride height and may be ok with your Eibachs. Just don't be surprised if you have problems catching the fender lip in certain situations.
