Aftermarket Wheels and Eibach Prokit Springs

Hey guys,

I just wanted to know the experiences with the guys lowered on eibach springs and who have changed the rims on their Xs. I am really looking into getting some new wheels but I just want to make sure that I wont have any fender or suspension rubbing. I am probably going to stay with 245/40R18 tires and am considering getting 18x8.5 or 18x9.0 rims.

Can you guys with Eibachs help me out and tell me what offset and size your rims are and give me some suggestions as to sizes that work w/o any modifications when lowered on eibachs?

I'm lowered on Eibachs with 18x9.5 +22 wheels and 245/40-18 tires. No fender modifications and the tires never rub the fenders.

Also lowered on Eibachs here. Running 265/35/18 all seasons on 18x9.5 wheels, 15mm spacers up front with no rubbing at all.

I'm on Eibach, too. I have 18x9.5 +15 wrapped in 275/35-18, rear fenders are rolled.

Front wheel well liner rubs a little on lock-to-lock. No big deal, tolerable, I just try to avoid steering lock-to-lock
