Default Finally decided to mod the GS

Kept my 03 sport design stock for over 2 years and I've decided to do a little modding. Here's what I have decided and please let me know if there are better options. The car is driven daily about 50 miles to and from work. Mostly freeway so comfort and reliabilty is a main concern I decided on going with a square set-up of 18x9 +35 front and rear with some meaty tires.

1. Tanabe df210 with aftermarket shocks (don't know what yet, suggestions would be great)
2. mrr hr2 18x9 +35
3. 255/40/18 tires all around so I can rotate when needed ( suggestions on other tire sizes appreciated)

Would that setup fit without any fender mods and not rub? Any help would be great. Thanks.

It should fit without rolling fenders. 255/40 on the front may hit the coil spring due to the high offset. Might want to go with a 245/40.

Call your insurance to cancel what you have so you can get another policy number. Right now they can provide your information if they were to do something illegal. Alert you insurance company so they can put an alert out. Covers you in case something bad happend. This is exactly what I did when someone broke into my car and stole my pistol. Since it was registered to me, I made sure to file a police report stating that it was stolen to cover me incase the bastards killed someone and left my gun at the scene.

Yea, I filed a police report (not that it's going to do anything), and informed insurance.

Off topic, how do you post the actual img instead of a link?

I'll probably get tints done this weekend and does anyone know a good place for rep tte lip besides ebay?
