So i have Heard 18 x 9.5 Are the perfect fitment if you do not want to scrape or roll your guards. Then ive heard 18x 10 & 10.5 fit with proper offset and you dont need to roll your guards can someone tell me once and for all what is the absolute limit without scraping and rolling guards?

It depends on ride height, I fitted 18x10+18 on mine lowered slightly without rolling any guards, then when I lowered it more with coil-overs it required one of the rear guards to be rolled. Guards sit about 1 mm above tire though

End of the day you will be able to run a 10 or a 10.5 without rolling but not with a very low ride height

I have 18x9.5 with an offset of +12 and had to lip the guards a little, plus I get some rubbing on the inner guard when turning. Also running 265/35 tyres, lees wide tyres would reduce the need to lip guards, as would offset of +15.

Here's some pics with some suspension bump applied, (and semis in 265/35)

I dont know how low my car exactly but its lower then factory... The front Oem lip sits about 10 cm from the ground, So no sure how low that is compare to factory but i want 18's do you think with that ride height i can fit 10inches?

R32 GTR, 19x10 +20, when lowered needed the guards rolled/cut a little due to running 275 tyres, a narrower tyre would have been fine.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
