Don't feel stupid at all. Have others asked the same questions? Yes. But that's why there are stickies and FAQ threads. But also Member's Rides threads. If you see a car you like while looking around, find their ride thread and see what kind of setup they have and it'llgive you an idea of what to expect.

Throwing full coilovers on a car is easy. Especially if you're running a stock, or close to stock wheel. The only thing you'll have to watch out for is camber/toe alignments and making sure you're not so low that you rub the fenderwells or anything on the underside of your car.

It's not difficult or impossible, obviously. But it's definitely something you want to make sure you're schooled in before diving in.

I've been picking at everyone ones ideas or what they have done.... From dropping my car on one piece to putting camber kit all around so my wheels can sit straight. Change my strut bar and end links... But these rims are the death of me. Thanks for all your help... There's someone on this site with bbs lm wheels... I think his name is emann but he is rolling with 17s and I want my car sitting just like his.... Again thanks for all the info..

Don't forget about your studs. If you start playing with offsets and spacers you might need extended studs. Which might, in turn, require open-ended lugs nuts.

Falken 912 215/40 love them! I wish I had gotten 215/50 since my subframe is pretty much on ground but its up to you how you want it to sit

Thats not +20, looks like +35 since the wheels are tucked into the stock fender. On a +20 offset he would most likely be rolled. My current setup is 17x7+35 and it tucks the wheel with no rubbing. You have to expect that if you run a wider rim or a smaller offset you will have an issue fitting it inside the stock fender line.

Hellooooo!

Yes, in that photo posted up there the specs of my wheels were as RedRyder had said.

But yes I do believe the 18x8+20 offset is a better look, but, if you don't want to stance, then 18x8 +35 is the better specs for you.. You could always use spacers in the end anyway..

Tyre wise, 205/40 for the +20 and 215/40 for the +35

Others may have different opinions but that's my 2c.

Fannnnnnx
