Default Wheels Question, Please Help.

Hi Guys,
I wanna get 18/8.5" rims front and 18/9" rear for my sc400. But I drop my car about 1.5" with the Tokico Illumina suspension. I don't if these wheels would fit properly if I put it in. If anyone know please help. Thanks.

i'm no wheel expert, but i think the fronts will be ok, the rears, im not sure, it might sit close to the fender, you can probably shave your fenders and be fine......

I'm running 18x8's 38mm offset all around with 5mm H&R spacers and the fronts are right at the fenders and the rears are fine. I think with 35mm offset on 8.5" width in front you'll be right at the fender too. Rears should be about the same.

You will be very close in the rear but with 265 or 255 tires you should fine. The rear has a nice 1" lip around the fender that you will need to clear. I have 10" in the rear and 9" in the front with 43 and 37 offset and fit fine with no rubbing.
