I wanted a wider rear for the look to push the wheel out enough to make it look close to flush.

So I just saw a thread where bosszhp is running 9.5 in the rear on his coupe. Are coupes and sedans different for fitment?

"I don't have a square setup, but I have 18x9.5 ET35 in the rear and I don't even have my fenders rolled. I have 255 Michelin PSS in the back and suspension setup is Koni FSD's with Eibach Springs, to be honest not sure if it's lower than stock but I scrape everywhere so I am thinking it is by a little haha. I do rub over big dips and bumps but it's nothing too bad."

yes, the front end grip difference with the 245 PSS up front is crazy. the car gets better that harder i push it! now, with my alignment settings my car is almost tail-happy.... and i goad it quite a bit too. the LSD makes a big difference.
yes, coupes have a bit more room back there. are you putting these on your coupe or sedan?
as bosszhp stated, he rubs everywhere, and on a coupe. personally, i hate rubbing. it tells me i have more work to do, because it should not rub. i'm going to run more negative camber in the rear, and if i end up running 9.5" wheels on the back of the Touring... well... i'm going much wider with the arches.

Hmm, okay good to know.
So, I was actually going to run the same wheels on both cars but start with the sedan. I found a set of TE37's square 9.5 I was going to use for rear wheels and then I was going to either order 8.5 volks for up front or try and find another square set.

I'm running 18X9.5 ET35 on the back of my sedan with H&R sport springs and fenders rolled. I still rub occasionally on big dips and bumps. Also, of course, the more people I have in the car, the worse it gets. From what I can tell, it's rubbing on the mounting bolt where the bumper meets the fender in the rear. Some people just remove that mount but I live with the occasional rubbing...I'm also running ET35 on the front, no issues at all there.

I'm running Hankooks, stock tire size. Fender roll is pretty aggressive but it's not rubbing on the fender, it's rubbing on that bumper bolt
