I picked up some Diamond Racing 15x8 +12 s. Did I get in over my head, how much fender rolling am I going to have to do? I'm dropping the car on H&R springs. Probably just going to roll with the 185/55s that came with the car for awhile, till I save up for some better tires.

I think you may be perfectly fine just being on H&R springs my friend if not the rolling will be so minimal! I'm not 100% sure on this but I believe you will be fine... Good wheel choice by the way I love those Cant wait for pictures

Thanks! I really love them and I got them at a good price I believe. So I jumped on them, and realized that the offset was alot lower than I thought. Seems like people go with mid 30s max on here.

Get your fenders rolled anyways. Might need a slight pull, but I doubt it at that height.

Edit: Post test-fit pics!

I will, and I can do one better; them finished on the car!

Rears

Fronts (they needed a little spacer to not hit the caliper bracket)

It'll look better with a smidge of camber up front. Aside from that, looks good. When's it going down?

Totally unintentional, but yeah, that happened! I also had a color matching watch (Invicta Russian Diver Lefty) and Braves Heyward jersey on.
