Put a 245/40 or 235/40 on the 9" and a 215/45 or 225/45 on the 8". A degree of camber at most at the front and just the natural camber from lowering at the rear will get them under the guards. Depending on how soft your springs are the front might rub ever so slightly on the plastic fenderliner, but I doubt it. Post pics when you get them on!

Im just running lowered springs all around. The fronts dont have too much camber but the rear does have at least 2-3 degrees by guessing?? also guards will be rolled
Oooh forgot to add that i drive a dc5r =)
Front camber: -2.8, tyres: 235/45
Rear camber : -1.5, tyres: 225/45
It will be detrimental to performance to run wider rims/tyres on the rear but if you don't care and is just after looks then why not...
For fun I actually fitted the 9J +35 on the rear and it clears fine (my rear guards are rolled) and looks awesome but consequently if you put the 8J +35 on the front it will look very weak (depending on how much camber you are running).

If you want to run the same size front and rear then just go for a 17x9 +45 or something. Just go through this thread and add 15mm to the offsets of the cars on AUDM suspension.
Why get that ricey stuff though? As dr.k20z1 says be careful about brake clearance.

Any way to fit a 18x10 +44 set on the fronts of a dc5s?
Saw these but not sure what would be needed in terms of guard mods etc.

To fit 18x10 +44 you will be mega close to both the strut/coilover at the front and the trailing arm at the rear. I would be very doubtful it would fit without spacers at either end but obviously those guys you linked to got it to fit albeit arse backwards. To run a 10" wheel I would be going for offsets in the 30s at the highest.
I disagree with m0nty somewhat, a 10" wheel isn't that silly, but he is certainly correct in saying a heavy 18x10 wheel will do nothing good for the performance of your car.

It would have little to no steering lock, be heavy and with stretch tyres like that, no better traction than 9" wheels with 255 tyres. Some people just do dumb shit sometimes.

On another note, I'm interested in a few wheels floating around:
R 18x8.5+45 245/40/18
F 18x9.5+45 275/35/18
I'm assuming I'd have to change the tyres as they're pretty wide. But how do the actual wheel widths and offsets sound? What tyres would you guys recommend?
P.S Is there a good online rim width calculator that allows you to play with offsets and widths to see how far it sticks out? I remember using one before but can't seem to find it again.
