You will be a lot better off with a 255/40 up front

What is the most aggressive sizes and offsets in 18's I can run without messing with Camber and without super streched wheels? I want traction...

An RPF1 9.5 10.5 combo in +15 should work great for you.

Not a fan of the RPF1's. I also want wider was hoping to fit 18x10 F and 18x12 R but thats just crazy talk without camber modifications and fenders pulled, isnt it?

Currently I sit 1 inch lower, I would like to manage another inch since my wheels will be 18's instead of the rediculous 20's I have.

Are you going for the hellafrush look? Lots of variables to determine before you have to pull fenders.

With the perfect offset 10.5 front and 11.5 rear would be possible. Better off getting a set of 10s and 11s for it. There is a nice set used for sale.

10 F and 11 R sounds great. what offsets should I be looking for if I do not want to run camber arms? My fenders are already rolled and I wouldn't mind getting a slight pull done to them.

Not so much the hellafrush, for I do not want to stretch my tires but yes I do want them "flush". I would like a 295 on an 11 rear.

Hey looking for some input here. I just got some work meister s1r's on order and looking to see what size tires i should run. I am looking to run stretch. here is my set up
18x10 -8 front
18x11.5 -20 rear
I am going to be getting a pull but im going for an aggressive/poke setup. I am not looking to so super stretched but something pretty aggressive if that makes sense. Thanks ahead of time

Some of us are track junkies, some play in canyons,and others have performance minded daily drivers. Much more fun then being a limp wristed waxer with a HellaGay ride yo, than can't actually be driven.

Cmon man take the criticism in stride. Im pretty sure your setup has been done at least once over the years, so its best for you to browse the ENTIRE aggressive stretch thread and go from there. More tire = more camber, and vice versa. Check out that thread to give you a general idea. After that itll be up to you to figure how much camber, tire size etc. How much pull in the fenders and tire brands all play a major role when dealing with mm's of clearance.

thanks man. at least someone here can give some positive input lol. and that is what ive been doing for quite sometime now, but I originally planned on getting 12 in the rear instead of 11.5 (when i went to order they said the widest they go in the meister s1r is 11.5). so that kinda fuked up my plans haha

Thanks in advance
