well if you have a camber kit the tire wear won't be a problem for the rear but do your wheels do this ---->/ \? if you got a camber kit and Full coilvers i don't see why you can't drop it even more ? what's the offset on your rims?

35hmmm
but...
if your camber is straight then you should be able to slam that **** even with those 15's !!! why did he say your rim offset was to much? rub against the calipers or something?

offset on our cars rims is normally i beileve between aboput 42-46mm i believe ( give or take a little) 35mm would i would assume is damm near touching the calipers (might be)

Also you will not have to roll your fenders on the types of rims and tires you have cause it won't even touch your fenders!

Members on here have 215/35/18's and there **** is tucked! HTOWNBOY had his tucked like that in the rear!

hmm.. ok maybe i need to explain what that guy is trying to say...
you have an offset of +35mm. this will probably make the rims stick out more than your normal +42 offset. thus it is harder for you to tuck since your rims stick out. thats what he's trying to say. right now i'm runnin a +42 offset and my rears tuck no problem without a camber kit. if i had +35 like you it probably wouldnt tuck and it would hit the fenders. thats why he's saying you can slam it because your wheels stick out too much...

but who cares what he says.. TRY IT. if it rubs then raise it untill it doesnt...
