How far will they stick out from the fenders?

Depends on the offset. Could be none, could be a little.

I'm lookin at 18x9.5s with +40 offset with a drop. I'm not sure how nicely those will fit. I'm gonna be doing BCR coilovers and not eibachs. Oilsink - are you dropped? If so, any rubbing/bottoming out issues?

He's on springs like I am I believe.

They will be 10mm more sunken than his setup.

5mm more sunken than my setup.

So it will be flush.

I have rubbing with a full car of people in the back.

You may need to roll the fenders. Will depend on tire size and stretch. And how low you want to go. And camber.

Side note, can the rear camber be adjusted on BC coils?

I'm guessing not because of the separate spring shock setup.

Either way moar lower = moar camber

It's something you will have to figure out once you get the wheels I'm afraid

BC coils does not have rear adjustable camber and there is currently no kit to adjust the rear camber.

If you get the BC coils it mainly depend how low you are going. If you slam the car like me you will be bottoming out a lot. You will also need to roll your fenders so you aren't rubbing at all for the rear.

Ok - are you guys able to fully steer without rubbing the tires on the fenderwells? I've finally found wheels that I want, but I'm iffy about getting them because this is my daily driver and i don't want to be wrecking the undercarriage of my car. I don't plan on slamming the car - just decreasing the gap. Nothing too aggressive.

I'd rather not spend the money on these wheels just to get them, mount them, and drop it, and find that I can't fully maneuver the car or put anything in the trunk because of the setup.

^ I don't have any serious rubbing problems.

I ate a nice chunk out of my front fender liner, but quite a few people have done that. Spirited driving
