Re lipping the fikses, i wanna run low camber and minimal rolling. I have cut fenders and zero pull.

I cant decide between
18x9.5 et25
And
18x9 et31

What tires can i run w/ each.
Id love a 40 profile tire.

First off are you talking rears only again or all around?

Had the wrong offsets before. Also kinda forgot.

What's your goal? Widest tire possible or stretched slammed look?

Between the two choices I would definitely do the 18x9 et31 with a 235/35r18. A 40 series sidewall will be taller than OEM size of 245/40r17 for your car. I suppose you could run a 225/40r18 but it will make fitting this width and offset even harder.

Just realized 235/35/r18 is a very rare tire size. This is a tough choice. If you want the stretched look 215/40r18 is very close to oem tire size, in terms of overall diameter.

Dont want stretch. Really want wide but effective.

Both wheel offsets are way off for fitting the rear. Look for wheels closer to et50 about an inch more in.

The offset are way too low but with the fenders cut you might get them to work with some negative camber and narrow tires. The rear would have to be like a 245/35R18. It won't be something where you just put them on and go.
If I can help let me know.
