Default Opinions wheels

Hey guys I was looking at the wheel&tire fitment guide but I want a better look when lower it. So do I need different rims or spaces or what ? Here are what rims I have on the car now 18" x8 VERDE KAOS CHROME 5X115 W/ 38, they were on the car when I got it but I like them.
Any input is greatly appreciated.

18x8 +38 needs a 2" spacer in the rear, and at least a 1" up front, if not 1.5" But at that point you are 130 bucks into spacers, and brand new 18x9/18x10 xxr's are only 550, similar wheels... but much more aggressive for the lines of the SC

Those wheels are horrible. Very gaudy. Stock would look better. And wouldn't weigh 40lbs a piece. Car will drive much better without those.

If you do enjoy those wheels, I would recommend a can of Never Dull. Its a soaked cotton material, and you rub it onto chrome, and polish em up.

They will look much cleaner!
