I'm looking to get new wheels for my type r and am looking to move the wheels out a bit, which I know will need to be less offset then factory. From what I've seen here, these cars look fantastic. However, my question is how has handling been affected? Is torque steer noticeable?

Motegi traklite 18x9 +35 with 265/35.

Fender has a slight pull and the tab was rolled. -1.7 camber in front. Still rubs a bit on the fender liner.
Any idea if your setup will clear the genesis brembo's?

Thank you! This offset works out very well with the 245/40's.
would 235/40 be a stretch for a 18x9.5 +39?

Can anyone possibly help me,
Im looking at wheels with these two offsets on eibach sportlines, on 235/40/18 tires.

1. 18x8.5 40+
2. 18x9.5 39+

What would be the best fit for me if im going for a flush look? will 235 tires accommodate option 2? and with these fitment can i turn my steering all the way?

looks good! Are you running the stock Continentals? I’m lowered on Sportlines on stock rubber and want a 18x9.5 +35 offset just don’t want to rub or roll fenders.

Any issues?

Option '2'... for both questions. These are 245/40-18's on 18x9.5", 39mm. No issues with scrub radius, or any rubbing whatsoever, even over bumps at freeway speeds.

Will a 235 tire give option 2 a "stretched look"? Im not too sure what that means haha, How come you went with the 245 rather than 235? and also do you scrape often from the drop?

Heres an pic of how my fitment came out:

Tires: Michelin PS4 245/40/18
Suspension: Eibach Sportlines
Camber Arms: SPC - Rear only
Fenders Rolled: Rear only (Unsure if it was necessary, I did this as a pre-caution)
Rubbing?: None as of now. No front fender modification

Im also not sure how long springs will take to settle. This is the 3rd day with them on...
