What do guys think? SPECS: 18X9.5 +8 245/35/18 Front 18x10.5 +16 275/35/18 Rear with a DF210 TANANBE DROP slammmed,,,but what about maybe 245/40/18 front and 285/35/rear sound ? ANY PICS ????-----245/35/18 Front 18x10.5 +16 275/35/18 Rear DF210 TANABE DROP slammmed...... I like the first setup just because my offset is sooo low in the front I need to run a a lil tire cus for sure +8 is going to be a lot of pulling fenders for me, but with the 245/35 I can maybe get away with less pulling lil stretched, but allll good...... OR 245/40/18 front and 285/35/18 rear.... Tell me what you guys think???? and pics are always good .Thanks guys for all your help

Slammed = tucked. not some fingers between the tire and fender...
IMO none of springs slam the car
only the Stance....

they do come in 9.5 but why do i need 9.5 ( what does that number mean again?) and what would i loose if i go with the standard fit and not staggerred.

Personally I would look for a 10 or 10.5" rear and 9 or 9.5" front

1.will they all work for me as advertised ( car has a kit but not lowered )
2. which setup would you go with/recommend
thanks in advance.
...just came from the garage did some measuring ( im on vacation ...to go to the garage you need to go out of the house and through some snow )
looks like its 8.5 oem
so my new q is what would happen if i go with a bigger set up do i need to reset something in the car for the computers ( speedo/lsd/tcs etc )

yup..i have no shame.
actually my thinking just got scrambled from this certain website that listed my specs wrong...so i had to go measure and my brain just kept farting
everything is ok now but one question still remains...if i go with a non staggered setup/ aside from the performance with regards to grip and handling would the impact be big on the internal like speed readings and connected systems?
