was a camber kit for the rear used to make this fitment work?
At this offset, yes. Customer has chosen to pair it with adjustable rear arms and adjustable front plates on his coilovers

you think a camber kit will be necessary for 18x9.5 +45 with a 20mm adapter?
Yes, it will be necessary, no question about it

Looking to run Rays Gramlight 57DR in 18x9.5 +38 with 265/35/18 PS4S all around, no spacers, and stock height with no plans to lower. Does anyone foresee fitment issues?

I'm going for zero-rubbing daily driver. What about 255/40 or 255/35 (or hell, 265/40)?

I want to know this too! I assume youā€™d be good.

I ran that wheel on 255/35 with absolutely no issues, whether it be a full car or loaded with stuff in the back. I canā€™t say from experience that youā€™ll be okay with 265/35 and 255/40, but from what Iā€™m reading you should be good on that too.

255/35 was good when lowered as well. Itā€™s a conservative size.

Really enjoying seeing all these set ups!

I prefer 19ā€ wheels & was wondering if you have any bronze work emotion T7R wheels available in CTR fitment and if so what tire dimension do you recommend for no rubbing?
Thx guys

We actually recommend going 18" for rub-free setup! 19" T7R has been axed for some time now unfortunately.

If you are insistent on 19", we have a few Gramlights/Advans/Volks that might suit your setup!

Would you expect any rubbing when at full lock with stock coil overs and height on these?

We definitely recommend going the coilover route with this setup. Progressive springs (usually OE and any aftermarket lowering springs) will not clear the inner barrel on something this wide. Linear springs when going coilovers will definitely remedy this.

Was thinking of grabbing some 18x10 + 34 wheels for the Type R soon. Should I expect any issues with some lowering springs? Would it need any fender mods to not have any rubbing or would camber solve that?

Logical follow on question...

How wide can (as in width and series) can you go before coilovers are needed vs lowering springs (Eibach Pro)?

Your answer is likely for 18ā€ but could you please answer for us oddball 19ā€ fans too? Thanks!
