Im going to check out some used with the +22 this evening. He's going to let me try them on, so I guess we will see. I suspect you are right with them being too aggressive though. but worth a shot.

well i tried the rear +22 on and it stuck out too far for my liking... so I think im still going to search for a +30. I should be more comfortable with that.

Interesting to know Oilsink, could you please post decent pictures that shows how far they stick out? What tire size and brand are you running? What suspension modifcations do you have with this setup? Running camber or rolled fenders?

I am running 18x8.5 +15 rear with slight fender roll or my rear tire would be chewed up. I am on BC Coilover though with all rings lock. Front is 18x8.5 +35. If you run coilover with negative camber you can run lower offset and I do have a slight stretch on my tires.

Your rears sounds right with more negative camber and rolled fenders. Although that would be too much rear negative camber or sacraficing performance for my DD. How is your treadwear and do you have a rear shot of your car?

This should be safe with just the eibach pro kit correct?

18x8.5 +30 w 235/40/18
18x9.5 +35 w 245/40/18

Here is a picture of my setup (rear only). This is also my DD and treadwear so far is fine and even. I rotate my tires every other oil change.

airgasm: You should be find with those set up on Eibach.

Do you have closer shots of the rear tires? The last picture shows uneven tread? And possibly your toe is off alignment. Did you get an alignment? Your pictures is really deceiving, sometimes they look really camber or toe'd and sometimes its not.

Here are some shots I just took now. I have gotten an alignment and I don't remember where I put the paper at but i remember being told and on paper is only showed that I was running negative camber. I also look at it much closer this time and the inner side of the tire is a bit uneven but not by much at all.

a bit on the blurry side of the close up since I took them really fast

How do those not stick out more?

I tried the 18x9.5 +22 and it stuck way the hell outta the rear.

The lower you go the more camber you get. Basically I am running negative camber which allow me to not stick out so much but if you really look at the angle of the wheel and if you were to straighten it or jack up the car it does stick out quite a bit. The Eibach drop is not low enough of a drop to give this effect like I have.

Your right, the tire is wearing out in the inside by not a whole lot. It helps to keep rotating the tires. Still a bit too much camber for my liking. Should have a easy fix by end of fall.

Reviving the thread. Glad to hear you guys are running some low offsets. I wanna try 19x8.5+35 with a 10mm spacer slammed (or close to it) on BC coils. Gonna look into stretched tires also. I don't wanna rub. Is anyone running a setup close to this? From what I've looked up, I shouldn't rub. But a lot of the things I've read on such low offsets are for 18 inch wheels.
