Hello everyone, i am new to the forum and to wheels tires and suspension setup i am also in need of wheel and tire related stance answers. I am looking into buying some 15x8 Diamond racing steelies with either 12 off set or zero, i am planning on stretching a 185/60/15 tire on to the rim. i will also be installing new godspeed coil overs with a skunk2 camber kit and rolling or cutting and flaring all four fenders.
My main Questions
Will i need to run a spacer in either the front or back?
How much camber will i need to avoid rubbing, if any? (the more flush the better, i only want a little camber)
would there be a tire size that would fit better?
and lastly, is there anything else id need to fit them right?
Thanks for reading

I dont think this is the site to ask these kinds of questions. Theres a website full of people like you that like to hinder the primary purpose of a car.
This stancenation fad is so dumb. Whats the point?
To ride “dumped” yo. Some people like it, some don’t. It all depends on the person.
You sure you really want to spend good hard earned money on STEELIES, because after all they are heavy and overpriced STEELIES, and also junk godspeed coilovers? You should really evaluate if you really want that…I’m not “hating”, I’m telling you facts… what you want has been done countless times and quite frankly most people who bought diamond racing has ALWAYS regretted buying them. And honestly speaking yes, Godspeed coilovers are cheap, but there is a reason why it’s cheap- poor valving and quality control- and yes they’ll ride nice when you first install them like everything else, but time will speak for itself. But hey if you want to do it, it’s your car. My $0.02 is to save up for something better in regards to quality… something like koni + GC and some SSR Reverse mesh just to throw something out there cough cough and CHANGE THOSE 20 YEAR+ OLD SUSPENSION BUSHINGS while you’re at it, you’ll thank me later!!!
But to answer your question: check this thread out

what you are asking for has been asked too many times before, and that ^^^ is a great place to start and the search function wouldn’t hurt.
As for tire sizing, it’s really how much tire you want- I’ve seen 195/45/15 to all the way to 165/45/15, but with more stretch, less contact patch and the more aggressive the stretch, the more you’ll feel the “nook and crannies” of the road and as always safety comes to play. To determine what camber you want, first you need to work on you ride height, and then dial in your camber from there- and depending on these two factors, you may need to roll the rears on how aggressive you want it. Also don’t forget about the toe!!! If you’re really serious, you’ll want adjustable toe links as well. To get a definitive answer on how to setup your car for a “stance” look is nearly impossible to do so because everyone’s car is setup differently. The only thing you can do is look up the specs of other people’s car and work from there… that’s the best advice I can give you besides from what I stated above.
Google search engine is your friend…
