Hi guys,

I just bought tein S-tech lowering springs. They drop the car by 1.4" front & 1.3" rear. Spring rate 436 front, 324 rear.

I'll have stock or bilsten/kyb/tokico struts with these.

Now I'm also planning to get rid of my stock wheels for nice 18" staggered wheels and given the invest I want to do this right!

Means:
- preserve as much as possible the performance (accel)
- reasonnable increase of gas consumption
- stay reliable (don't want to break the box/clutch in hard accel!)
- look good! : I want the wheels to get near to the arches but never catch them!

I found nice combo like:
- 8.5 X 18 5X114 ET35 + 235/40/18 FRONTS
- 9.5 X 18 5X114 ET35 + 265/35/18 REARS

First question: will they fit my my tein springs?
Second question: is it not too large to stay safe mecanically

Third: post pics and specify characteristics of yours!
