Default Question about 18" 9.5 +22 and 18" 10.5 +18 wheel sizes

I'm buying some CE28n's with size and offset of 18" 9.5 +22 and 18" 10.5 +18. I was told that I would need to roll my fenders but that isn't a problem. I was also told that the rears would put me at -4 camber, anyone using this setup? would like to get some more information about this setup so I know what to expect. Thanks

You will have a very good chance of needing a fendor roll with a +18 10.5" rear. It will ultimately depend on tire size and the amount of camber you run, but I would pretty much count on needing a roll.

Wheels don't put you at a certain camber. Your camber should be about what it is now with your current wheels. Your camber will change as you change your suspension setup, not your wheels

Really, merely installing them won't mean anything. You will have to figure out how much of a drop you will run and how much camber you plan to run. Dropping you suspension will require an allignment and depending on the amount you drop, you may need supplemental parts to get you back to your desired spec.

the more camber you run in the rear, the less chance you will have of needing a fender roll. If you plan to run -1 to -2 range of camber, I would be fairly certain you will need to roll you fenders... again still somewhat dependent on what size tire you will be running.

just food for though, on my car, I rub with a 10.5" wheel with a +25 offset. And your setup will be pushed 7mm further out (more agressive)

depending on the size of rear tire, as long as the rear fenders are rolled, you should be ok-- even with minimal rear camber like a -1.5 to -2.0 you'd clear with max width of 285 or 295... no need to get that extreme at -4.

i wasn't planning on going -4 camber, I was told by the person who sold me the coilovers that it would be that much since he ran with the same setup wheels and coilovers. i was planning on going 255/40 and 275/40. if i could find a set of CE28ns at 18" 10.5 then I could run the amuse setup of 18" 10.5 front and rear. but for now im hoping that the tire setup he has on the wheels now will be fine. thanks for all the input, still learning about my car.

oh btw, that isn't my gf. with all the money i'm spending on my car, I couldn't afford one. that's my friend, leah.
