I am debating whetherI should stick with 17" or go 18". With this set up for 18" wheels what tires would be recommended?...
Front: 18x8.0 {+35 or +28} ??tires
Rear: 18x9.0 {+38 or +30} ??
1.5" Drop all around with springs and struts, stock fenders. Thanks.

If it were my choice, I would go 18" x 8.0", +28 for front and 18" x 9.0", +38 in back.
I don't usually look at 18" tires, but my tire chart says:
225 / 40 / 18 for the 8.0".
265 / 35 / 18 for the 9.0".

This will keep the rolling diameters close to stock.
This will NOT give you the best performance due to the big stagger between front and rear tire width differences.

OK, here's my last question ever in this thread :
FC. Coilovers. 30 mm wider front fenders. 30 mm over fenders out back. How wide can I go, what offset?

10.5" wide in back comfortably, assuming 275 wide tire.
This is for 17" sizes that are common.

Could i fit these under stock fenders? If not how much would i be off by?
16x9 +20 all around (front and rear)
I have coilovers as well and would be willing to roll the fenders / pull them if needed.

I looked at your chart at FC3spro, looks like my answer is +15 all the way around.

yes. if you don't want much camber or pull in front you may have do do a slight stretch on the tire though. but you should be able to make it fit up to at least a 235 without too much effort.
rears you should be able to fit whatever size tire you want. might need a slight roll with the bigger sizes.

would this fit good without any rubbing on a 90 gxl? I will be using the car for autox events and maybe a little drifting.

Sorry if this has been covered already but.....
17 x 9 + 26
245/40
Will this fit under rolled front fenders with coilovers? I don't want to install overfenders. I plan on running 265s out back and wanted to keep the handling as neutral as possible.
Thanks in advance.
