Del Sol stance advice.
Hello all. I am new to these forums so bear with me here. I'm looking to stance my 93 del sol properly (currently it's sitting on just lowering springs). Now go easy on me I've read here before that most of you guys are against the Hella flush look and I respect that but I do enjoy the look myself. Now I don't want to simply slap on some fat rims and tires and camber it calling it good, I want to make sure that I have proper suspension. That being said I'm looking into getting;
Adjustable Coil overs
New springs
Camber kit
New rims
New tires
Sway bar
And of course rolling my fenders
(There may be more that I am ignorant to)
Anyways I've found the coilovers that I want to go for, they are the teIn basis edition. Now I'm just mostly wanting to make sure I get everything correct. I know the tiens are soft so I'm getting a sway bar to avoid body rolling in the rear. So I'm good in that sense now here's where the confusion is coming.
I want to run a 8 or 8.5 rim (depending on the advice I get) I have no idea what offset I need, I know it willost likely be negative. Now I want to run a 205 40r15 tire which I cannot for the life of me find. I would do a 205 50r15 if need be. But would this combination work for a del sol? Also does the offset of the tire and a camber coincidence. Or are they the same thing?
Now back to the suspension I was reading and people were arguing about something called a toe? What is that and will I need it for a proper stance?
Any advice on this is appreciated, and sorry for the lack of format and such. Thanks in advance.

Re: Del Sol stance advice.
You will never have a track ready setup, with "stance". Either you do it right or you don't do it.
Your parts list seems to be good.
Except if you want a properly balanced setup you wouldn't need to roll the fenders or a camber kit.
If you have the si model, just add a sway bar to the back, get the tein if you want. But I would suggest stiffer, skunk 2 pro c to be exact. Just lower it 2.5 in all around, no lower no higher. Your camber will then be set at about 2.2-2.5 in the front. Get a alignment to correct the toe, that is what will eat your tires when lowering.
Ok I know your into the stance fad, but I'll just warn you those deep dish wheels bend really fast. A 15x7 with a 195/45 should suite your needs. If you want the 15x8.5 that's when you'll need fender rolling and possibly a camber kit. And for that reason I suggest against it. Oh and the fact that the tire usually never makes full contact with the ground.

Re: Del Sol stance advice.
The only way you can do both is if you find the right adjustable coilover combo as well as other upgrades to be "track ready" while at times "being all bout that stance lyfe". You need to think of your suspension as a "whole" and not just the struts. You pockets have to be deep or you can go cheap. You decide that.

Keep in mind that the less expensive lawn edging from Lowe's is about 5" wide, and will scrape pretty easily. So once you're all stanced and whatnot, you might need to make your front lip out of the nicer 4" composite lawn edging. I'm going to save up for a paycheck or two and upgrade, myself.
