Tires helps!!

I just bought some xxr962 . 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear. And my car droped 2" all aground. I did search and know that many ppl in the forum runing 215/40/18 front and 225/40/18 rear. I found a good deal on 18" tires but they are 215/45/18 and another set of 225/45/18. Which one should i buy? And i dont want to roll my fenders

2" drop is nothing, I don't think you will have any trouble with rubbing.

It depends on your offset on the rims. I'm lowered on s techs, idk why I went with those but that is a different story, and i have 18x8.75 +35 with 225's and i rub every now and then on turns and dips. It's not a constant thing though. If you plan on going lower later on just get the 215s now

Springs or coils? Ever want to go lower?

If not them go with the 225.

I don't think you'll be satisfied with a 2 inch drop on 18's..

You will definitely have to roll your fenders no matter what

With those specs, you'll rub with stock fenders and non-modified rear tabs... even with a small 2-inch drop.

Just get them rolled man. And the tab relocation, you can just tackle it yourself with a cheap rotary tool kit.

I'm on tokico blue and eibach sportline right now. I was saving my money to get some function and form until i saw those set for only $50 on craigslist. So no mater what i should get my fender rolled asap? I never work with fenders before, kinda scared

Yeah, just get your fenders rolled and relocate your bumper tab. If you don't feel comfortable rolling your own fenders I'm sure you can find someone around you to help you do it. Or there is also the option of taking it to a shop and letting them do it.
