Yeah I can have 4 ummm relatively nicecly shaped ladies in their with no problems. Hopefully it wont rub with em in it when i get my 18's tomorrow.

Another thing i was wondering is their gonna be a noticable change in the accuracy of my speedo ?

My parts should be installed within the next two weeks. But I've got 17" wheels wrapped in 215/45 tires. Also lowered 1.5". I'll let you know then.
