Ok I read this whole thread it took me about a week LOL. So with all this fender rolling going on in here no one has complained about having to paint there rear quarters. So when you roll the fenders will the paint chip or crack? And would it be safer or easier to cut them? (My car was just painted!!!)

Also I want to run 18"s but am confused on what size to get up front i want a flush to the fender look without sticking out and not a deep lip maybe 1" to 1 1/2" lip (only want deep 5" lip out back) So would i run 18 x 9.0 with 255, 40 tires or 18 x 10 with 265, 40?? I don't want to stick out or have streched tires also would the 265 up front rub while turning?? And i have no clue what offset to run!

Do the roll properly, TAKE YOUR TIME, properly heat the area with a heat gun to soften the paint and you'll have no issue with cracking paint.

Great news thanks. I'm going to have it done by a body shop. I would of had it done before the body kit and paint but the shop said I need the rims fist to see how much to roll

I hear ya. My philosophy is just do it all the way the first time so you won't have to worry about it later. That's what they did on the 370

Default gurus help. volk gt-s...spacers?

I have a set of volk gt-s. standard 9.5/10.5 et +17/+18. I'll be running hankook v12s, 225/245/35.

My question is, I want to run within OEM camber (at or less than -1.8 camber), what spacer should I run in the rear? I'm pretty set and positive 15mm up front will get me where I want, any more and I'll be out of my preferred range. The rear is what I'm not positive on. I am slammed, on stance gr+, fender height 24.5 all around, fenders rolled flat. Any more info needed, I'll give it. Bottom line, can I run +3 in the rear and be within -1.8 camber? Or should I go with +8.

Read the aggressive/ stretch thread... Look at peoples setups and specs, apply that to your own..

I had volk GTS in the same specs. I added a 20mm spacer in the rear with similar camber and tires size. It worked fine as long as you have your rear fenders rolled.

Just throw some proper sized tires on the car, you will not need spacers.
