what do you guys think about this setup?
18x9 35 offset
18x10 45 offset
lowered on H&R coils
will this work? i wouldnt want any rubbing issues and i want the offset to fit nice with no camber

No one is running these specs because they won't work. Your front wheel is going to rub your struts. A +35 offset on a 9.5 left 4mm between my wheel lip and the strut. I think you will need to space them out to work. You'll also need to run a 215/35 to get enough stretch to keep them from rubbing and they still might rub.

Btw, if you are on coils you already are running negative camber because it can't be adjusted without aftermarket camber bolts. If you are all the way down on the coils you will be at around -2 degrees which is what I'm at. That will definitely help you clear in the rear. If you correct the camber you'll most certainly rub badly.

Those are the sizes I recommend, 215/40 front and 225/50 rear. If you go any bigger on the tire sizes you will surely rub. That's a lot of stretch to run so if you aren't comfortable with it you may want to reconsider the wheel sizes. Rolling and pulling fender might also keep them from rubbing. I'd like to see this setup work for you because it's sick but I fear your have rubbing no matter what you do. Most guys getting that aggressive rub at least a little though.

Btw anyone try running 19x8.5/9.5 staggered ET35? Running the math there should be a little past fender if not flush.

Which version megans are you running? Reason I'm asking is because I'm running megans too and the rears aren't nearly as low bottomed out although I'm still on stock 17's atm.
