Can I use these rims???
 
I want to buy some 5 Zigen copse rims 18x10 for the rears with 295/35's and 18x8 with 225 or 235/35 for the front, what offset and and will the rear tires even fit, my car is lowered 1 1/2 but has the m2 trailing arms and toe links. I need some imput before I buy lol
Thanks

That setup will tend to understeer like mad.

The proper tire sizes would be 225/40 for 18x8 wheels and 285/30 for the 18x10 wheels. Offsets of +40 should work. Any lower and you will likely have to roll your fenders.

Ask Rishie (ARD T2), he deals with those wheels.

BTW, I should have clarified in my post that the ideal offsets would be +40 to +50 for the 18x8 and +45 to +50 for the 18x10.

If you are set on 18s, I would try to get 18x9 fronts with a +45 to +50 offset and run 255/35 tires. This will better balance the car with those huge 285/30 rears.
