I'm looking at some wheels right now for a 2001 im gonna be dropping it from stock 2 inches in spring, these are the wheels 18x8 Offset: +42mm
Backspacing: 6.18"
Bolt Pattern: 5-115, Weight: 24.2lbs.
Is there gonna be a problem with these rubbing if i get them? and what size tire should go on them

Yea that 18x8 is ok, Ive see a few GA's with 18x8's on them and the off set is ok you will need hub centric's rings... ck the bore size on the hub to the center bore of the rim if different then you will need to take up the space with the rings.
235 40 18 is the widest you can go with this setup, if you like 225 is fine too.
