Default 18x10 +35 Will it fit?

I'm more than prepared to roll and pull my fenders, I'm just wondering more than anything if they will rub on my coils? I'm maxed on Tein-SS and I'm looking to camber these suckers in and slap some stretched tires on, but do you guys think I'll run into any other issues?

Will I need spacers to clear my coils if anything?

Thanks for the input.

Edit**
An even better question. Anyone have 18x10 wheels on their tC? If so, how'd you do it?! Thx

it should fit, in worst case you will need 5mm spacers. A reason why I can't give you a clear answer is because I don't own tein coilovers but they should be around same size as my coils. With my coils, I have about 5mm clearance with 10 +35. If you are gonna dial in some neg. cambers and stretch tires, you will wanna add spacers anyway cuz 10 +35 is pretty easy to fit on our cars.

I'm still waiting for my 18x10's. It's been about 8 weeks but I still have 4~5weeks to wait.

Forgot that people were running 9.5 Grids all around. Thought it was 9'' +38. Go for it then. Big wheels + good offsets = great.

Cool cool, sounds good.
Yeah I figured if people were rocking the 18x9.5 +38 Grids all around... 18x10 should be doable... and/or fixable with a 10mm spacer or so.

width of a rim doesn't mean anything without an offset. It's all about offset and tire size when you are trying to fit a rim. With rolled and pulled fenders you can fit anything up to 10" width +18 in front pretty easy (you can fit even more aggressive setup if you are willing to do more work). In that case you don't have to worry about inner clearance.

Rear? even easier cuz you have more inner clearance.

Wow, no need to be all ____y about it. I didn't make that up. A while back, someone asked about 18x10 CR Kais someone was selling on NASIOC and everyone said 9 was the widest you could go up front. I'll try and dig up the post.
9" with what offset? again, just width of a rims doesn't do anything.

18x10 +35 will stick out 9.3mm more and sit 3.4mm deeper over 9.5 +38 grid's. Are you getting dpt's by any chance?

Thanks! Yup, custom ordered from Japan. I'm thinking about ordering another set in more aggressive size but that means I have to wait another 3+ months to get them

yea I like rota's cuz they provide us aggressive sizes which not many companies offer. You know It's pretty hard to find aggressive rims in 5x100. But I decided to step up my game that's why I ordered a new set a while ago. Too bad most of those haters are rocking some near stock sized rims and tires and still think they are balling. lol It's all about the aggressive fitment and stance these days, but they don't know about that. I can bash them all day and night. haha
