What is your ground to fender measurement, Judy?

I have 18x8 +38 up front, and after rolling/pulling I could fit an 8.5 +35 and be pretty flush with a 215/40 tire. Rear you should be fine, I have 18x8.5 +31. But depends on your ride height.

I don't think you'll have a problem fitting them. Depends in your ride height also.

When I was on TEIN S Techs(2 inch drop I think) I was running a 225/40 on an 18x8.75 +35. There was a little poke but not much. And your wheels are little narrower than those and you might be a little lower. So I think you won't have a problem fitting them.

my ride height is not that low actually, it's decent, hmmm see, that's what i thought when i bought the rims...the numbers i had were correct, i'm just not sure what numbers the guy sent out to forgestar, is there any way of me measuring the offset? cause i can't remember what offset i got...can't remember if i got 35 or 38 lol

Because your car is lifted and suspension is not loaded. Once it's on the ground, I'm almost certain they will tuck right in with no problems. And if you're still not sure if it's going to rub, drive onto the top of a 2x4 or small book with each wheel and check to see if it'll rub anywhere. It'll simulate your car going over a bump.

Wondering if wheels originally destined for a mazda 3 could find a home on a 6th gen? They are 18x8 +48, 5x114 of course. Didn't know if with some spacers they could be of any use since I got 3 sets laying around :D

Thanks Brad, I'll take that as a yes lol. Not those particular wheels but I have 1 set of 18" factory mazdaspeed wheels, a 17" set and a set of 18" rota Tarmac 3's that I didn't know what I was gonna do with so maybe I'll just sell them cheap, I don't know. Should be picking up a 2nd 6th gen in a week or 2 so maybe I'll just make that one a 5 lug swap, I dunno yet. Thanks

Will 215/45R17, 7in +45mm offset work with a 2 inch drop all around? Any kind of rubbing? Would it look good?

How about 215/45R18, 7.5in +38MM offset?

Camber:
Front: -1.1
Left Rear: -2.1
Right Rear: -2.4
