Hopefully with 225/40/18 s on it I can fit the 25mm spacer in the rear now without much needed camber

thanks for the pic, that pretty much exactly what I'm going for.
I'm just not sure if I should go +0 or -5 haha
I'm thinking +0, because I'm not running much camber, and im running 275s

Got any pics of how the front is now?
I'm thinking 9.5 +10 in the front would look good

I think I'm settled on 10mm spacers in the front, 20mm spacers in the rear
Final specs
Front: 18x9.5 +10
Rear: 18x9.5 +0

I think they brought my specs back to factory...that pic is when it was

18x9.5 +13 in FRONT
18x9.5 -3 in REAR

Soooo that basically what you will look like...are your fenders rolled? With 275 at +0 in the rear you deff will need that along with possibly a bit of camber but prob not to much....then again i rub a little at -3 with a 245 but that is because the passagner side started crackin when rolling the fender so that side wasnt rolled completely....

No you keep the plastic...but thatsonly in the front...you only roll the rear. If you look at the rear wells there is a pertruding lip on the inside that the fender rolls inside then becomes a flat surface that goes into the well. This flat lip on the inside is rolled up flat against the fender.
