Needing some educated opinions
 
Now before I begin, I have already decided that these are the wheels I am going to be "temporarily" going with. They will become my beater wheels eventually. Just on a budget as of this moment. So, I understand the hate to a certain degree, just bare with me, and keep your posts to a minimum unless they are helpful. please include your reasons for choosing either. Even if it's simply b/c you think it looks better. Thanks guys.

Ok, so I am debating to go either 17" or 18". The specific sizes would be (17x9 +42, 17x8 +48) -or- (18x9.5 +38, 18x8.5 +48). I am currently lowered on TEIN springs, but will have coils within the next three months. Gonna relocated bumper tab and have all four corners rolled, and will be installing ASM overfenders around the same time as coils. I'll run a spacer in the rear if I go with 17's once the OF's are on of course. Don't want to run crazy camber if I can avoid it. Let me know your opinions please. Thanks, I appreciate the help.

Go with the 17's (lighter weight, easier offsets to fit, etc) and they will fit just fine without overfenders. I would skip the overfenders until they are actually needed because that is not a mod you can reverse if you actually cut the quarter panel for more clearance.

That's what I am thinking. Any idea about how much camber would need to be ran with the 17" setup mentioned? Fenders rolled and tab relocated of course.

There is no point in over fenders if you don't cut the fenders.

Not that much, UK spec should be fine (-1 front, -2 rear).

Completely agree, I will be doing it 100% properly once I get bigger/nicer wheels that require this procedure.

Good deal, thanks for the input.
