95 LS: Specific fitment question (I have searched already)
Hello,
I'm shopping for rims and I'm sorta clueless as to what offsets my car can accept, in other words, what are the maximum and minimum ? I often see 95-2000 LSs on the forum with interesting wheel/tire combos but I feel that knowing the max. and min. will allow me to make a more informed decision and less of a guess (resulting in less headaches
). I will, most probably, be rolling my fenders flat (suggestions on how to do so are greatly appreciated 
). It's also important to note that I will not be going past 18 inch rims as I'm pretty confident Montreal has some of the worst roads in the northern hemisphere 
. My ideal wheel/tire combo would measure in at 245/45/18x8.5 (20 offset) for the front, and 275/40/18x9.5 OR 18x10 (25 offset) for the rear. Will these fit ?
P.S.: Megan coilovers will also be installed (height yet to be determined).
Thanks in advance. Once again, any opinions and suggestions are greatly appreciated

the front wont fit at all without a full flat roll and likely a pull because those tires are DAMN CHUNKY! You'll poke like hell and the tire will hit the fender. if it was an 8.5 +35 then you MIGHT be able to get away with it, but would still hit the fender because of the tire.
you may want to size down a bit, 245/40-18 in the front with that offset will still require a roll, but with proper setup will rub a lot less and not make the wheel look so small. yes it's smaller than stock, but it wont make the wheel look so small and you wont have rubbing issues.
the rears, offset wise are fine, tire size MAY be an issue, but with a flat roll and any camber you should be fine.
