will this wheel setup look good with swift Spec-R springs??

i want to have the same setup as the car in the pictures below but i want to have the swift spec-r springs instead of coilovers. will the car still have the "stanced" look or will it be too high?

The wheels are: Varrstoen ES 2.2.1 - 18x10.5 and +15 offset. the tire size is 235-35-18. i don't know the camber though.

but i think i will get wheels in the size of 18x9.5 or 18x10 or what size should i get? and what offset?

here are the pictures:

For a functional 18x10.5 setup, go with something around a +35 offset.

Edit: Just noticed you're not on coil overs. Well, you need em' to run that big of a wheel. You'll probably need to run a 6" spring as well. Just search a little bit. All the info you need is on here.

You can't even run those wheels with conventional springs, so what does the wheel gap matter?

Because the wheel will hit the spring. Not enough clearance. It'll hit the rear trailing arms too.

No more help. Every answer you need is in this thread:

really dude? gonna need a lot more than just rolling fenders with that spacer idea.

OP- if ur not going to listen and not gonna search. try it and see what happens. those wheels look really good but they are rather heavy. but it looks like your just into looks.
