imo , a 255 tire on the 8.75 looks perfect. thats why i run that in the front.

here's some pics of my car on 18x10.5's and 265/35/18 square setup. not the best pictures but its all i have with me at the moment. I can snap better pics in the morning if you want. Still need to do the rear spring mount mod, a little too high for my liking.
1st and 3rd pics are with gf210's, 2nd pic was still stock suspension.

I will if I can sell my current tires with the wheels for a reasonable price.. I just don't like putting 30mm staggered tires on the same width wheel. It'll e stretched in front and meaty in the back and I don't like that.
If I do get square setup, would 265/35/18 all around be good?

285/35 would look best but youd need a pull or extra front camber..
Maybe 275/35?

Double posting for pics update, couldn't get the attachment thing to upload them so i put them in an imgur album. Was really bright out but i adjusted the levels as best i could without washing them out.
Here's the album: http://imgur.com/a/mvzH9#0
the last pic shows what a 265/35 fk452 would look like on a 10.5, hope this helps.
Also, i know my car is filthy xD its so hard to predict this texas weather in the transition from spring to summer.

Do you have coil overs? You mentioned spring mod and that's used when you don't have them. That's why I said you need to account for already being lower just with those tires. No biggie..but if you shave the mount, you could find yourself at 2'' LOWER and you won't *see it* in the gap either.

Here is an example that bmurray posted with the same springs, which is all that im trying to achieve. Just to close the rear gap up a little bit.
I am just hoping when i switch to tokico hp's it does not mess up the ride height after i do this. Im not sure if theres is a difference between oem struts/shocks and switching to HP's in ride height anyways.

Hey guys. Does anyone know what the 526s are a replica off? I've been looking for a while now trying to find a similar wheel. I wanna go down to 19s instead of 20s and also a wider setup with a negative offset. If anyone knows the exact wheel or something that looks similar please let me know. Thanks.

Ah i see what you were saying now, no i dont have coilovers, just on gf210's and required camber/toe hardware, as well as poly bushings.

With you current GFs and those tires you have to be lowered around 1 3/4" already! If you take 1" off the mount you're going to have rear ground clearance issues for sure.

He has 285/35s on the rear, so car doesn't sit as low as your 265/35 before the mod and has less wheel gap as well. Here's his post>>

Thanks for the heads up
