A lot of people with the 3.5 are having no problems thus far with rubbing. Have you or are you planning to drop the car? They say the springs are stiffer on the 3.5 than the 3.5s. Can someone chime in a shed some light on this?

BTW,.if you're gonna thinking of getting them, don't think too long cuz $600 for those rims and tires are a steal! Too bad 2 of them are scratched though.

if i'm not mistaken these are lower offsets from another post. I would email the seller and ask for the offsets

With your springs, you might rub. ask the seller for the offset. if its +45 the 225 shouldn't be a problem but the 245 might rub.

All over ur body.

If I am not mistaken that wheel is the Touring edition... From 2005+. Here's the info on them:

Front Size: 18x8.0 Offset: +30mm Weight: 24.4 Tire: 225/45/18

Rear Size: 18x8.5 Offset: +33mm Weight: 25.8 Tire: 245/45/18

The offset is too low... Getting these on the Coupe would be a challenge indeed.

Someone on the forums already has that setup... I can't find the post though, it's a white coupe in a snowy parking lot. I was looking into it myself, but not sure how they'd be with the pro kit.

Sweet rims though.

if i remember correctly he had 4 of the smaller ones.. not staggered..these can be fixed easily... not so bad of damage... You are getting a free ride on the shipping though... hes gonna be suprised when hes gotta pony up the rest lol... its gotta cost well over 100 to ship 4 wheels with tires mounted.

With a 30-33mm offset, lowered, would more than likely rub. I had this same idea months ago but decided not to go with it.

Couldn't spacers be used to make up for the offset? Would they have have to be 15mm spacers?? Is that too much to use a spacer for?

Space will make the offset be lower... if you have +45 and use a 10mm spacer, you'll get +35
