Spring/ Wheel?

Ok guys looking into getting a drop and wheels for my 2012 X thinking about going with the progress springs and looking at the XXR 527. I like the way the look and i dont take my car to the track or anything like that so think they should be good for just the week end car that my evo is. Thinking about getting 18x9.5+15 with the stock 245 tire. I should have plenty of room to clear everything with out rolling the rears right? Thanks guys!

With +15, you might rub... They will mostly stick out of the fender a bit... The 245 will help, but that will be a close call...

^ Depending on tire size, you should be ok with no roll. I'm personally going with Swift Sports also and a +28 offset, just to be on the safe side.
