Default Help with vs-xx

I am about to pick up a set of works vs-xx. What would I need to do to make 18x8 +35 18x9 +35 to fit with a drop from tein s tech springs. I know i have to roll my fenders and some camber? Also what size tires should I get? Sorry for my lack of knowledge of wheels ect. I recently have been getting into the looks of aftermarket wheels.
Thanks in advance.

You may even have to pull the fenders out some. The rear wheels are going to stick out about 2" further than stock. You would want to stay on the narrow side witht he tires. I would look at 215/40R18 and 245/35R18.
If I can help let me know.

Yeah. What tire would u recommend. I would like something good for all year around. I live in Sacramento so there is no snow but some rain. Maybe something I could switch the tires around to keep the tire life a little longer, if that is possible because I believe I might need some camber.

Bumper tabs relocate.
245/35/18 should be fine. I'm running 255/35/18 on my rears and have no problem. (18x9.5 +37 offset) I guess it would depend on how much camber you want to run
As far as rotating, you could maybe flip the tires but rotating the fronts to back isn't going to happen as the sizes are different.

Btw, I am lowered on tein flex.

I was planning to do the bumper tab relocate myself with the use of the diy online. I don't want to run a lot of camber, but I'll do whatever to make it fit. I wouldn't over due it with the camber. Once i get the right camber for the wheels to fit, I'll stop adding camber. How much are you running? I was planning to find a shop to adjust the camber to make it fit. I'll tell them to not add any unnecessary camber. Would I be able to use 245/35/18 for all 4 wheels.

i run the same specs on my VS-ZF's and went with 245 rear 215 front, but ill probably do 225 on the front next time. i have 3 degrees camber on the rear and 0.5 degrees on the front, no rubbing issues with just relocated tabs and all fenders rolled. its really not a big deal to do at all so dont worry too much. with a 245 on the front youre going to need a good bit of camber, like 3 degrees or more, so your tire wear is probably not going to be so good. i would suggest however, to get coilovers and get it a little lower (im at about 2.25 inches lower) because im not really sure how well it would look with fairly aggressive wheels and a mild drop (i also had s-techs before i got coilovers). good luck, VS-XX's are beautiful wheels!

I've tucked a 17x9 +45 with a 245 and fit a set of 18x9.5's +18 with camber. These won't be nearly as difficult. I'm sure a roll, tab relocated and a maybe a touch of camber if anything will fit these things flush with a good amount of meat on there as well. Now sell that hard top and come pick up your wheels!
