    I need a definate answer as to fitment, before i put money into the bigger tires. I'm lowered on Eibach Pro-kit, no camber correction in the rear, so they have a good angle. Will a set of 18x7.5 with 42mm offset, with 225/40/18 tires, fit without rubbing, and without me rolling the rear fender? If anyone is running this setup, please let me know.

    another member has wheels with those same specs. dangerdanj. he's lowered probably lower than yours since he has teins but the only big issue for him i recall was his camber. with "perfect" camber it would rub on the fender, but with slightly negative camber (which is good) he can clear the fender better. i don't see him around alot here lately but if he does find this post, i know he'll chime in.

    this is what my galant looks like on my 18x8 et38 its close but with the negative camber it dosent rub at all. even with people in the back. so you should be fine. I'm on Intrax springs too which are a little lower. If I were to go any lower though I would rub on the part of the tire that sticks out right before the lip.
