Default New help with wheels and suspension!

i want to be able to have my wheels flush and my car slammed. i went to buy coilovers, bought them of craigslist, and got ****ed. im in afghanistan and i come home in a few months so i had a friend pick them up. there not coilovers, all it is is springs and a sleeve that is adjustable for up to 3 inchs on the stock struts and shocks. im about to buy 19x9.5 + 20mm offset 245/35 front and 275/35 rear. can i make this happen?? do i need wheel spacers??

i want it to look like this...

A lot more info is needed for your question to be answered. And I think you're going to get a lot of 'Search' replies.

You can use these 'coil-overs' to get your car dropped. I believe you'll be needing to use spacers to get a flush look with the wheels you are planning to get. Here's a good reference to figure out how the wheel size and offset will affect your situation: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

It also depends on how flush you're looking to go. Some people are happy with +22 on a 9.5 rim. The GT-S wheels in that picture are probably the 9.5 / 10.5 +18 IIRC.

i think im gonna go with this setup...

18x9.5 +20 front and rear
5mm spacer front
10mm spacer rear
roll fenders

and then drop the car until im tucking a little tire

is that something that can work?

and i already have brand new dunlops on my stock rims

225/45/18 front
245/45/18 rear

can i stretch my tires to fit on the 9.5 rim? and will it be ok to put the tires back on my stock rims in the winter?
