Default one last check before ordering

I'm about to order some work D9R. Rear 18x8.5 +53. AND front 18x7.5 +47. I know I can get them to fit. I'm just curious will I have to do a tab relocate or rear over fenders. I'm running bc coilovers and seibon cf +10mm fr. Fenders. Ill be wrapping them in rear 255/35-18, front 225/40-18. Thanks for the help

Rears should be fine completely stock. You might need to do a fender roll in the front, but that's about it.

Fronts should be fine with +10mm fenders. The rear might need a slight roll and tab relocate depending on your ride height and alignment settings. You aren't even close to needing rear over-fenders, no worries there.

I doubt it will need a roll at all. These are very conservative wheel specs especially for having wider front fenders. They are going to look fairly sunken in.

Fairly sunken in? Like bad looks? Would it be better running a +38 up front? Also the rears are +47 not +53. My mistake. Thanks manga.

No. They won't look sunken in, especially with the +47 rear. Your specs are similar to running a 15mm/20mm spacer setup on stock AP2 wheels.
