Default quick question

i was thinking of buying rota g force's in gold 18x9 +35 5x114.3. The tires that come with them are 225/40/18 front 255/40/18rear.

my question is will they fit on a stock AP1 suspension..... and if not, how much body work is required to make these fit? Is it worth it? how much would the rolling fender bumper tab relocation etc etc cost me?

Stock height or lowered? Its going to be a lot of work.

I agree. I had 17x9 +45 with a 235 and a 255 tire on before on stock height with a slight fender roll and tab relocation...it rubbed on large bumps and dips. Pushing it out 10mm more is definitely going to rub. I would choose a different wheel.

You need a fender roll. You need to relocate the bumper tab. In addition, the rear tire is not the right size, the sidewalk is too tall. You want a 255/35/18 tire.

Personally, I'd look into something with a higher offset. Maybe like the actual Advans these are copied from. Like 18x7.5 +48, 18x8.5 +50

The rear tires need to be 255/35/18 for sure.

If you need to save the money, then get 18x8.5 +48 f/r and run a small stagger.

i guess ill stick with a 17's i guess it will be better over all. i was thiknking some rota DPTs (if i can find some for a good price) with some nice tires. I was trying to keep stock suspension but i dont know if it would look weird. maybe i woudl get an eibach loweirng kit and drop it a inch perhaps. i decided I dont want to roll the fenders cause it will look goofy if i ever put stocks back on to resell the car. I am trying to buy used tires and wheels for around 600$.... im a medical student and im broke!!
