hello all! hopefully i can help. i run 18x9.5 +38 volk ze40s and im lowered on bc coils. im sure im 3 inches dropped. theyre maxed out so im pretty sure thats the range haha. i run the coils dampened 2 clicks from the middle on the soft side. i also use the stock sport tires. 235/40 and it fits very flush with the fender and its not too much of a stretch still very tasteful and if i went with a 245 or 255 im sure itd rub my actual fender but the tire fits well in the fender. the only rubbing problems i have are when my steering wheel is full lock my wheels is under load. ie over a speed bump or turning at a decent amount of speed. other wise if my wheels are straight or slightly turned i have no problems. it only rubs on the plastic fender liner and its not that much either. i plan to roll my fenders not because the rubbing is causing issues or tire wear (you can even see theres barely any tire wear from rubbing or from being so low) but because i want that extra comfort of not rubbing because i know all of us feel it in the soul when we hear that lol 18x9.5 +45 should fit just find because if you are not slammed then you wont have a problem. i could raise my car and be fine but i love the look and stance it gives the car and i break alot of neck in my area :thumbsup: i posted pics of my car to hopefully help out. any other questions just let me know! hoped it helps alot sorry for so many photos btw lol

Hey I know it is a long post but I am planning to install BC on 2016 sedan. I have a 225/35/18 on a 18x9 rim with the offset of +33. Im not gonna slam my car but I just want to lower for 2 or 2.5inches. I was wondering if I would rub so bad I need a camber or my fenders to be rolled. As much as possible I dont wan a do either camber or fender roll

Looking at the pic, you might need camber arms

first off i really dig those cosmis! second i think you may rub but im not sure just like ysutarko said itll naturally camber when you lower. i only have natural camber in the rear and i put it to -1 camber on the front using my camber plates. as for rolling your fenders id say do it. i just recently did mine and i must say it feels so much better. no rubbing no noise no nothing. no more anxiety over it haha but its all up to you. id lower first to see what youre working with before you pull any triggers on parts. if you have any questions about it just pm me you get them installed and i can help ya out!

Can you upload pics of your rolled fender? I was considering rolling my fender tho. But as what I can see it seems like rolling my front is impossible because of the side markers and whar do you mean by natural camber? Sorry I dont know much when it comes to suspension lol. Anxiety kills me. Ughh

as of right now i cant take a pic. i would have to jack it up and remove the wheel. ill try to get back to you on that. and for natural camber when your car get lower to the ground your suspension will basically pull in your wheel to fit in your fender kinda like how a car that is on bags does when it airs out

hello all! hopefully i can help. i run 18x9.5 +38 volk ze40s and im lowered on bc coils. im sure im 3 inches dropped. theyre maxed out so im pretty sure thats the range haha. i run the coils dampened 2 clicks from the middle on the soft side. i also use the stock sport tires. 235/40 and it fits very flush with the fender and its not too much of a stretch still very tasteful and if i went with a 245 or 255 im sure itd rub my actual fender but the tire fits well in the fender. the only rubbing problems i have are when my steering wheel is full lock my wheels is under load. ie over a speed bump or turning at a decent amount of speed. other wise if my wheels are straight or slightly turned i have no problems. it only rubs on the plastic fender liner and its not that much either. i plan to roll my fenders not because the rubbing is causing issues or tire wear (you can even see theres barely any tire wear from rubbing or from being so low) but because i want that extra comfort of not rubbing because i know all of us feel it in the soul when we hear that lol 18x9.5 +45 should fit just find because if you are not slammed then you wont have a problem. i could raise my car and be fine but i love the look and stance it gives the car and i break alot of neck in my area :thumbsup: i posted pics of my car to hopefully help out. any other questions just let me know! hoped it helps alot sorry for so many photos btw lol
