Help ( will I rub??)
I plan on picking up a set of 5 axis design s5:f wheels next month , the specs are 5x100, 18x8.5 with et 20 or 30 (not sure what offset I want yet).
I was wondering what size tires should I get to get as minimal rubbing as possible, and should I go negative camber ??
Thanks

Here...some people already did the work for you...

When you get the wheels, bolt on up without the tire. Put some 2x4s under it and lower the car on them, and measure. You can probably use a 225/40/18 since the rim size and offset isn't too aggressive.

um..btw they don't make the s5:f in 5x100 I along w/ others have been after Troy for years to make them in that and he wont...GL w/ that. Are you sure you don't mean the x5:f's, R6:F's or the R5:F's by chance?
Also go w/ the 19's, trust me on this.

Oh wow you just saved me a grand. I was reading about the 5ad wheels on some forum and someone on a lexus forum had said 5x4.5 was 5x100 , but after reading some more I just realized its not.
I like pretty much all of the 5 ad lineup I just can't choose what exact rim would look best on my car.
And why go with 19's?
