Wheels look nice, but you need a drop badly.

If you run spacers you will need to roll those rear fenders depending in the size of spacer. It's not difficult to have them rolled, so don't worry about that.

You can check my gallery as I have the 18's. I am lowered on the Eibach Pro springs and have 15mm spacers in the front and 25mm in the rear. I tried 20mm in the front but was rubbing A LOT. Also, my rear fenders ARE rolled.

im running the same wheels and sizes exept in 19s and 275/35 rear and 245/35 front worked best for me for the next time you get tires, i think 40 would be too high a sidewall and would rub more

Not true about scraping every driveway etc. If you don't rush going into driveways like you're running from someone you'll be fine. A 1" drop won't murder your bumper at all. But if you just run spacers that will help you out, if you don't want a drop. I run 20mm front 25mm rear. Get spacers first I say.

This has the potential to be a really nice setup. I love the wheels.

Let me try and help you out. I'm sure an inch drop in the front wouldn't make your car that much lower. The inch will make you like your car that much more, trust me. You just have to be careful when you go in and out of places to go slower and at a bigger angle. Lower the front an inch, and lower the rear accordingly. Look into some coilovers or some springs that vendors have available and compare the drops they will give you.

Use these tire sizes. The tire sizes you are using now is making your car have more wheel gap and it looks a little odd.

As Wais says, get your rear fenders rolled before you drop the car. Make sure you go to someone who is reputable and has an eastwood fender roller with a heat gun.

All good advice in this thread and you should be able to achieve the look you want if you follow some simple guidelines. This is what I would do...

1. Buy 245/40/18 and 275/40/18 tires
2. Purchase either coilovers or springs with a rear camber kit.
3. Get your rear fenders rolled
4. Install and enjoy!

245-35-19 & 285-35-19

The wheels should already come with Nismo lugs (if you bought the wheels new) otherwise it all depends on your budget.

^^ Correct. The 19x10.5 +30 will have a fatter lip and won't require a roll. I tried to get these last year in silver but only bronze was available. Post pics!
