Default helps....offset & rolling fender

Please help, i dunno know **** when it come to wheels. just got a quick question here guys.....I finally decided that i need a set of wheels. My Z is not lower, but i might go with Tein S-tech in the future which should lower the Z about 0.8 of an inch. The wheel that i look at is 18 x 8.5 in front and 18 x 9.5 in the back, both got 20 offset so...do i need to roll my fender to avoid the rubbing? And what size tire is the max width of the tire i could run if i want to keep the 40 profile ( xxx/40/18 )

Thanks a bunch

no you'll be fine.

Im running 18X9 +20 in the front and 18 X 10 +18 in the rear and i wont rub unless im lowered more than 1''. Moreso, it depends on your tire. If you run 245/265, you won't rub.
Im personally planning on running 255/265 in the future, or maybe even 265 all around.

Tires? The wheels that you selected are the same size as the NISMO wheels. Just go with the sizes recommended by NISMO.

that would look too stretched for nismo wheels....buy new tires: 245/40 and 275/40.
