Any Pictures of your setups or opinions are much appreciated!

Picking up me 2021 CTR Friday and one of my first mods will be lowering the car. I picked up some 18x8 +35 wheels for super cheap that will do the trick for now instead of the 20's. I am mainly looking at swift or RSR Super downs. Love the super downs but from what I have heard I will need to trim/modify fenders to not rub. So that brings me to the Swift..... Anyone running swift with +35 if so any rubbing issues? My plan would be to run Swift with 18x8 +35 with 245 or 255 40/18 can anyone confirm they will fit? Dont really want to trim/modify inner fenders if I don't need to.

*Also wear of top bolt you can remove of top hat of strut to get more negative camber which will help

Cheers !

I really like my Swift's. They ride amazing and the stance is perfect IMO.

Here is how to remove the guide pin to get more camber up front:

You shouldn't rub with that setup, but for future proofing, i would run 255/35/18 if you do not plan on adding rear camber arms.

My setup:
Volk CE28SL 18x9.5+ 35
265/35/18 Yokohama Advan Apex
Eibach Sportline
SPC Rear Camber arms
Removed front alignment pin
No rubbing or trimming of rear fenders, i just bent the front fender tab up

They look sweet man! What your wheel/tire specs? Also any issues with rubbing or any trimming you had to do?
Thanks! Gram Lights 57CR 18x9.5 +38 Firehawk Indy 500's 265/35/18. No trimming everything is factory and no rubbing issues. These tires run narrow compared to other 265's on the market!
