    would 18x8 +35 offset on stock tires fit without rubbing issue? and im also planning on dropping 1.5 all around... im trying to get the most agressive setting possible without rubbing

    no i don't think your going to have rubbing issues. if you look at how low my car is and i don't have rubbing. then your really not going to have rubbing.

    do u have aftermarket wheels?? because offset on stock wheels are +45 but the offset i want to go with is +35 and also the wheel is wider 18x8 instead of 18x7

    the only thing im worried about is the offset... because people lower their ride with 18x8 and theres no rubbing issue... but they keep stock offset +45 but im going with +35

    I would try to stick to a little higher offset... maybe +38... I'm from the Mazda crowd and our stock offset is +52 and we need to keep it at 45+ if you want a drop so that we don't rub.. Hope this helps. A 38 offset would still look sick.

    18x8 +40mm should be perfect. +35 may fit because the body is essentially the same as the EVOX.

    Don't. trust me i'm stressing now i have a 36mm 18 x8 and every single bump scrapes the top wheel arch. have to either get a new wheel or roll the guards -_-

    im running 235/40s just for reference.

    I do believe KRU has 19s on the Lancer. And i don't think he mentioned anything about rubbing problems.

    I believe crew rolled with 20s for the Show. But you also have those pretty coil overs too lol. As of what he has now im not sure but he also had the First custom kit i think he had wider fenders?? Not sure about that though sorry. I know bigger is better but out cars without the turbo, all our add ons give us what maybe 25 WHP. I myself like looking aggesive and what not but i think 17s are more than enough. But im just an old guy lol.
