If I get 18x8 rims what amount of drop should I put on without it rubbing. I was thinking maybe 2- 2.5. Also will I be fine with the 18x8 because I know that 18x7 fits fine. Phantomforce said it will be fine with 40 series tires but im just making sure.

Never doubted you just wanted second opinion before I blew my money on it.

youngblood said he regrets the intrax because its such a harsh ride. I have the eibachs which are a progressive spring, they don't drop quite as much but they still give an excellent ride with it being noticably lower. i have 225/18/8's(i think they're 8s), they tried the 235s or 245 but they touched the spring without spacers.

you need about 1.5-2 in of clearance above the front tire so it wont rum on a turn and the backs wont rub even if tucked all the way up in the wheel well.
