In looking at the tire calculator, it seems that a 255/40-18 front and 275/40-18 rear are the closest rolling diameter to stock, and should cause no issues with ABS or anything. The 35 is 4.1% faster than stock in the rear, which I am being told could cause issues with the ABS system (don't have VDC). With an aspect ratio of 40, methinks I am increasing the odds that I will have to roll the fenders, which I am trying to avoid. The SSR GT3s that I have on the car now are a 275/35-19 in the rear, on a 19X10 with a +24 offset, and they do not look right because they sit too far inside the fender (fronts are much worse on a +38 19X8.5). I plugged the numbers into the offset calculator I found in another thread (http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp), and it looks like the 9.5 is only pushing out about .1" from what I have now, and the 10.5 would only be about .6" farther out.

SO... I guess the question is - the ones that you guys have seen rub on a 9.5 with a 275, were the cars lowered alot? My car is lowered less than 1" on Hotchkis TVS springs. Am I worrying too much about this whole rolling thing? The guys in the shop where I work seem to think it is no big deal, but everyone else is telling me horror stories and saying it will destroy resale (if I ever wanted to sell it). Am I worrying too much about this wheel speed differential thing? Is a square setup better since I have adjustable sway bars? Is 275 going to be too wide for a 9.5" wheel (looks right on the 10" wheel on the car now)?

I really want these RPF1s, and I HAVE to ditch these GT3s, but this is making me effing crazy. I have been spending hours nightly reading threads and looking at pics. I need a drink.

should i get spacers or will i be able to get it closer by getting some of the camber taken out?

Looks good. Did you go 265/285 or 265/275 on the 9.5/10.5?
