Hey boys

Will 18x8.5 +35 all round be pretty flush with a guard roll?

with a guard roll and suffcient lowering it'll most likely camber in and sit under the guards with those sizings. it depends on what kind of "FLUSH" you're after.

nice daily flush on the rear is about 9J +20.

ideal specs for nice fitment are anything around 18x8.5 F and 18x9/9.5 R offsets anything between +20 and +30 with a mild stretch on tyre.

if you want it to fit well and not be too drastic go for 18x8 and 18x9 stagger with a 215/40 on the 8 and a 225/40 on the 9.

Hey guys!
With my new spacers my wheel set-up will be 18x8.5 +27 with rolled guards and slight trimming, front and rear camber kits, and I plan on getting 225/40 tires(currently have 235/40).
How much negative camber do you think I should run front and rear? I want it to look like this!-->

His set-up is 18x9 w/ 225/40 tire but idk the offset. Here is the link for reference.
Thanks ahead of time!!

front, -2.5 camber
rear, between -2 to -3.5 of camber. Somewhere there bcoz i dunno if your going to remove the rear bumper tab that connects the rear quarter to the rear bumper.

That was fast! +rep. Thanks a lot.

I want to remove that tab, where would be the best place to relocate it? I have to drill a new hole right? I know members on tsxclub have done it but I have never seen a write-up or anything.

So theoretically 18x8.5 +25 is similar to 18x9.5 +35?

I never relocated it. Few the guys on tsxclub told me not to worry about it. becoz once the tabs were removed, the rear bumper was still intact and was quite hard to move out of place. Only way its gonna go anywhere is if you get someone flying up your butt from behind or u physically stand there for ages ripping the rear bumper with your hands.
Again this is you decision whether you want to remove it or not. I know i was very reluctant to remove it at the beginning. So i just rubbed like nuts on the rears for half a year then one day just decided to remove it and now its all sweeeet. =]

you have 23mm less inner clearance, and it will extend 3mm more. going from 8.5 +25 to 9.5 +35
