well im about to get some new rims for my S. there 18 x 8 with a 45 offset. im only on drop springs now, what i want to kno is if my car will sit nicely on those sized wheels with only springs? or should i get some coilovers to make it perfect? also will there be any rupping issues with that size. im gona do 225/35/18 sized tires

Sorry we can't really answer your question. All wheels and tires have different offset which will make a big difference in rubbing or not. If your going with such a big wheel coilovers would prob. be better to adjust your ride height to keep you from having any rubbing.

 

yeah i really not gona know the outcome untill i put the rims on my car. but for now can you guys post some pics on r53 with 18''

 

well the stock are 18x7 with a 215/35/18 i have a bad feeling 225/ could be a in for some rubbing esp with a drop (i have no idea this is an educated guess)

 

Whether or not it'll look good is anyone's guess, but you'd be better off posting and browsing the wheel forum instead of the suspension forum.

Stock wheels are 18x7 ET52. An 18x8 ET45 will have 6mm less clearance inside and poke 20mm further out (calculator here).

Will you clear that? How low are those vogtland springs?

 

the vogtland give a Drop of: 1.2" fr / 1.2" rr thats according the info on this forum, i bought the car with the springs on it.
