So, got the rims. 18x8.5 offset +44.
I want to run 235/40/18 tyres on a stock suspension set up.
Has anyone done this?
How do I adjust the camber? (soo confused)
Help
(Ill put up some pics once i figure out whats going on)

If you're on stock suspension (not coilovers) then camber is adjusted only by the camber bolt (front only). Camber in the rear can be adjusted by installed camber bushes ($50) from whiteline (-1.25 +1.25), or their arms (forgot what they're called, but they're about $500-600 I think)

Watching with keen interest, as i want to put my similar size wheels and tyres on stock suspension, but afraid it will look mexican. Otherwise i will just have to wait it out for coilovers, Roll centre adjusters, and rear camber arms perhaps.

Gambit, you really shouldn't have any issue. It's not as hard as it seems. I mean, I made 18x9 +35's fit with a little bit of camber, so 18x8.5's should be a breeze.
What coilovers you getting?

Cheers
, so camber bushes from Whiteline.
Do you know a good place to buy these from?
Also, if I just got Nelson from Sydney Guard rolling, do you think this would be enough without camber bushes?

Yes it should be enough without camber bushes. You're wheels aren't that aggressive to need lots of camber and guard work.

Righto,
I shall let you all know my progress as i go.
I have the option of switching to 18x8's. If they dont come in I will be trying to get these on in aprox 2 weeks.

Hey guys,
just fit 18x8.5 ROTA G-FORCE rims today with 235/40/18 Bridgestone Potenza S001's. (thanks for advice on NOT going 18 x 9!)
I gotta take some pics and then learn how to post em up. VERY happy with result, no extra lowering or anything done. however, im getting a weird sound, from left rear tyre i think when going over speed bumps...not sure what it is but will be asking the bridgestone dealer what could be happening!

I think those rims only came in +48 (or was it 45?)
