Rim/wheel help offset and size question
anyone running 18x9.5 +35 offset?
What size tires are you running?
did you need to roll the fenders or adjust cambers? Did you upgrade your suspension?
Hows the ride?
Would you go with this setup again ?

Fairly certain you will have to roll and camber for any of those. And I don't know what strut clearance will be with those, but you may need coils (again, I'm unsure of that part). and go low or it will just look silly. BUT if you do it right it will look incredible.

Camber isn't something you replace, its part of your alignment settings...if you don't know what camber is/does you shouldn't be getting these kinds of wheels

You will need roll, you will need pull and camber. How much, depends on how low and how much tire you want to run. I daily 18x9.5 +35 w/ 245/40/18. Fenders are rolled and slightly pulled all the way around and I have about -2 camber all around. Car has about a 1 finger gap from tire to fender.

You better cool your jets with the @$$hole stuff kiddo. We're chill here and if you can't laugh at yourself then you're way to high strung for this community. Terms are something you learn as you go. Relax!

Daily drive 18x9.5 +33 with 255/35/18 dunlop star specs.
Needed coilovers, rear camber bolts, and a pull in the rear to get them to fit the way I wanted.
