Help with my setup!
I'm getting ready to purchase wheels and tires and need some feedback. I'm not completely blind on the subject and i have done my research.
Wheels : Rota P45R 18x9.5 +25 offset all around
Tires : Falken FK-452. Front- 245/40/18. Rear- 275/40/18.
Springs : Tanabe Sustec GF210. Front= -1.0" Drop Rear= -1.2" Drop
+ SPC rear camber kit cause tires aren't cheap!
OK, with this setup there shouldnt be any issues with rubbing or VDC, correct? Also, would it be possible to maybe run 10mm or 15mm spacers to get a more aggressive offset without rubbing?
Thanks Guys!

I run 275/35/18 all around and am lowered quite a bit... no rubbing, if that helps. I'm not slammed and can't give you the drop (I was in a hurry) but you can only fit one finger between the wheel and fender.
The rear on that pic doesn't seem like 18 x 9.5 +25 unless it has a spacer or something, as I'm running 18 x 9.5 +22 and it doesn't look like that.

That setup should work out great on your car. VDC will be fine as your tires are really close to the rolling diameter of the stock setup. Also the Tanabe GF210's are meant as an agility spring so they will be somewhat firm and not cause rubbing with that tire setup.
Our shop Z has Eibach Pro Kit springs on it however our rear fenders are rolled. Still no rubbing though with the +12 rears and 295 tires
Rolling the rear fenders really gives you alot of room to work with. You can always run a spacer but I wouldn't recommend going past a 5mm on the stock wheel studs.
If you have any specific questions shoot me a PM or msg me on AIM : wheeldudesales

Thanks for the reply Dan. i was looking at your Time Attack thread in the media share section and saw this post.
What kind of offsets are you talking about, any desired? Also are there any plans on the P45R's in a 19" or a 10.5"w.

I do have +30 and +20 P45R's in Flt Blk Red Lip in our shop right now and there is no wait with this setup, they can ship out at any time
Still no plans for 19" P45R's at the moment.
