Default Wheels

I'm looking to do some wheels and may have tracked some down.

Question is will 18x9 with a +32 offset fit and will a spring/shock combo rub or will coilovers with supporting mods be mandatory?

My suspension is stock right now.

Depends on what size tires you plan to run? The specs you provided will be fine with just springs! Either way it goes, I recommend for you to at least roll your fenders! Just incase you decide to go lower than the normal 1.5-2 inch drop.

P.S. if you don't mind running a small stretch tires on your wheels. 215/40/18 would be perfect. If you want something crazy 205/40/18 and you can have your fenders resting on top of your wheels on coilovers.
Another useful forum is tsxclub.com very useful forum!

to have your fender that close to your rim, would u need to max out the stiffness on the suspension?

I too would like to know this info. Sorry to hijack your thread but instead of posting a new thread I figured I would wait on an answer with you.

I had Tein Stechs with 18-8.5 +25 offset I was running a 225 40-18 but they rubbed like crazy and my car wasnt even that low I changed to 215 40-18 with the strech I cleared with no prob but again i wasnt as low as I would have liked to be. I rolled my fenderes just for piece of mind but I actually have coilovers now and my car is much lower.
