I bought new wheels in the typical fk8 spec, 18x9.5 +38. I am lowered on swift springs with natural camber. -1.8 and -2.0 front and -2.7 and -2.8 rear after alignment.

I plan on running Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires in 255/40r18 (8.7" tread width, 26" circumference) or 265/35r18 (8.9" tread width, 25.3" circumference) since they run narrow and would cause the least issues.

Would have liked to run Michelin pilots but I would prefer not to touch or modify the fenders at all and want to avoid rubbing or issues with the fenders if possible.

Anyone running this set up or something very similar that can chime in? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.
