Also, I Like the AME FS01's.

18x9.5 +35
18x10.0 +25

Vivid only has them available with those offsets, so don't know if that would work.

I have 19x9.5s and 19x10.5 volks, have +20mm offset and dropped 1-1/2in. and have no need to roll. But I do have 30 series tires in rear. With 35 series you might need to roll if you gonna lower it. If you are worry about tires sticking out, go with +20 or +22. 8.5 and 9.5 will be fine too.

rolling fenders is less about rim diameter, and more about offset and tire size (or rim width is your rim sticks out further)

Alright, I found another set of rims I want. How would this be?

AME Tracer FS01's

Front = 18x9.0 +25 on 255/35/18
Rear = 18x10.0 +25 in 295/35/18

@ VividRacing, it says rear only comes in offset of +25 and for the fronts it says +25, +31 or +45 or something.

If I have to have the rear fenders cut or something, fine, I just want to get them as close to flush as possible.

those tires/offsets should work...the rear will be very close, so it may depend on the particular tire and your camber settings. If it does rub, it'd be a very small amount.

*I mounted my 18X10+38 295/35/18's w/ a 15mm spacer yesterday, and it had less than 5mm clearance from rubbing on the fender (I tried a 20 mm spacer and it rubbed)

the "Front = 18x9.0 +25 on 255/35/18" may not give much rim protection...and it'll make the car understeer due to the larger difference of front - rear tire width...you may want to bump it up to a 275??. either way, the tire will work, it just comes down to preference after that.

I would bump up to a 265/35/18 up front and that setup should work just fine.

The rears will be OK, doubt you would need to roll your fenders. I can run down to about a +20 on a 10" wheel with a 295 before it rubs

Alright so 275/35/18 up front and 295/35/18 in the rear with +25 offsets all around.

Naturally, I want them to look good but I also want them to be safe too, because I do drive on the highway from time to time.

I am assuming if the camber needs to be adjusted, they will be able to tell at the tire shop and adjust it there to get it right?

sounds good to me. It'll depend on the shop you goto if they can adjust your alignment...since you're not lowered, it may not be obvious to them if it'll rub or not. Maybe ask them to compress the suspension in the rear to see if it rubs.
