    Ok so its final, i know i ask alot about wheels and tires...ect, but im def going to buy 18x8 , or alot of people are saying 18x9 both can either come in ET35 or 45/42 , and with 235/40/18 ? remember , im lowered on Koni FSD+Ebachs , and H&R sways will be installed, so what do you guys think, 18x8 to be safe, or do you know for sure 18x9 will work without rubbing, let me know! , i do have some pretty sick wheels picked out, but thats a secret till they are on! , but so far you guys have pretty much been 100% with advice, so thanks!


    OH yeah, can spacers be used also with 18x9 without rubbing?

    I am running 18x9s with 235/40/18 Nitto 555 and no rubbing. Wheels are ET35. I should note that the inside of the tire comes VERY close to the upright (less than a fingertip of clearance). My car is lowered on H&R coilovers and the front fenders are rolled so YMMV - I would not be able to run an ET higher than 35. If you can't test fit, I would shy away from the 18x9.
