it depends on if you got rims with the correct offset.... If you bought them from a place that knows what they should about +1 or +2 sizing, but if your goal is to just slam it and throw performance out the window just roll your fenders and throw on some wide tires and go from there. So in conclusion you need to know the offset to get a correct answer....

im running 225/40/18 and HFP suspension for my LX, i got a lil over a 1 1/4 drop on it. if i wanted to slam it , it could probably go another 1/2'' but id have to roll the fenders.

ok well i searched 18x8 tenzo dc-6 and it came up with a +45mm offset. is that wrong???. i mean it looks good to me doesn't stick out. i ran a smaller tire to make it so i would have more clearance for lowering. i have falken fr 452 but the tire is only a 215 and not a 225.
