any shots of the front of the car? would like to see how far the fronts stick out, i found a set of wheels that i would like to run, but they are 18x9.5 and come in either +22 or +35 only, and since your running a 19x9.5 +20 in the front and u seem to be making it work i would like to see how much they are sticking out, no rubbing when turning? lock to lock? any recommendations on tire size and offset for the front from the two choices?
The rear im not worried about cause it will be a 9.5 in the rear with either a +35 or +22, its the front that concerns me, i will roll fenders of course Thanks man
Suspension is Tanabe DFs

Just an FYI; D_Unit is running 18x9 +20 on the rear with 215/40-18 tires. He swapped from DF to NF springs and this is what he had to say:
If you stay with the DF springs, I suggest going with the +35 offset and tires no larger than 225/40-18.
I'm also eager to see the response from axiswheels.

Because of my rear rim offsets (18x9 et20), my fenders were literally eating away my tires even after having my fenders pulled/flared. Also, it's pretty annoying driving around with DFs and a 5 Axis kit. It's do-able, but it's annoying. Basically, I prefer the NFs now because they're just so much more practical.

Quick Question
CIONIDE, i see you know your wheels and offsets! especially with our xb's!
Could i run 17x9 +20 in the rear with DF210s without rolling the fenders?
I was also thinking of going 17x9 +35 in the front but ive seen that it has no problem.
Thank you

I tried PMing axiswheels, but no answer...Does anybody know what size tire he's running in the front? I know he said he's running 215/45/17 on the 17x9, but what's he got on the 17x8? Any answers would be greatly appreciated as I have got to buy some tires soon for my little project
