go with higher spring rates if you haven't already ordered your coilovers. megan EZ's standard spring rates are not condusive to lowered ride heights + wide/low offset wheels.
So I ordered my rims yesterday.
They are 19x9.5 +22 front with 225/35/19 and 19x10.5 +22 with 245/35/19 rear
Would I still need to do the same fender mods? Or could I clear rubbing without any mods or just fender rolled? Dropping on megan ez coils.

Youll need to relocate the front fender tab for sure (unless you dont lower your car much). And DNA is right, EZ spring rates are pretty soft, so you wont be able to slam it to finger gap or less in the rear without it becoming dangerous to your fender/wheel.

So all I need is to relocate front fender tabs and roll all four fenders? Would I need a pull?

you'll also need to shave down the rear fender tabs.

as far as a pull is concerned...

i did 8.5 +20 and 215/35-19's. rubbed here and there, but it was manageable with rolled + naturally-pulled fenders (read: slight pull when rolling the fenders).

if you guys don't start searching through this thread to get your answers, then maybe the wheel fitment game isn't for you guys. seriously, search through this thread to find your answers. even if you don't find EXACTLY what you're looking for, similar specs will need similar amount of work to make the wheels/tires fit. enough of this is already covered in previous posts that it doesn't need repeat posts to address the same wheel/tire specs.

if you're too lazy to search, expect the same when i respond.

I just bought 225/40R18 tires for the front and 255/40R18 for the rear. I'm doing it kind of backwards, but after I bought the tires, I decided I want new rims.

I really want the 18" TSW Nurburgring Gunmetal w/ Mirrorcut Face

What size do I need for the front and rear tires? Also how much should I worry about the offset?

Thanks in advance
keep the wheel width and offsets close to OEM 18's.

what tires should I get and what mods apart from fender rolling will I have to do?

Currently on H&R springs, but also planning to get K-sport Deluxe air kit))

Thanks a lot!
see the responses to ILLestSwaG.

the rear will need that much more work to get it to fit.

fronts are fine.

you'll need fender work in the rear to clear that wheel spec/tire size.

Fronts are 20x8.5 +40 R-Disc (BBK fitment) wrapped with Continental Extreme Contact DWS 245/30/20.

Rears are 20x9.5 +45 O-Disc also wrapped with DWS 275/30/20.

Will these fit in a 07 is350 lowered on springs? will i need to do any modification? will 20s look right on my car?

RayLai417 The wheels will fit fine but the tires are too chunky. I would say go with a 225 or 235/30/20 and 255 or 265/30/20.

I am looking at a set of Varrstoen 2.2.2

Currently it has:
Front: 19x9.5 +12 225/35/19
Rear: 19x10.5 +12 245/35/19

Will these fit on my 07 is350 w/ sport pack., currently at stock height without any mods or will I end up having to roll my fender to prevent rubbing? Also, will it clear the big calipers in the front?

Also, will it fit the hub bores or will i need hub rings?

350nva unless you plan on heavy fender mods and tire stretching I would stay away from those offsets.

you guys should really look at the site

rimtuck.com

Enter in your make/model/rim size/tyre size and it shows you cars that have that criteria...Also tells you what mods they have done
