Different strokes for different folks. You can change that to "according to you" she's ugly cause even to some the people we think are most attractive from GFs or wives or crushes are ugly or not attractive to other people, but that's what makes the world go round.

I didn't really want to go staggered so I ended up ordering the 18x8.5 +38 with 245 40 R 18. Is that going to be okay? They do come in a +48 offset as well. But the guy at Discount Tire Direct recommended the +38. Should I switch? Any tire changes?

As for suspension, I'm thinking for now just a spring drop but not sure how low to go...
go for it!! 18x8.5 +38 all around stock tires dropped on sprint springs....

i have to admit tho im cheating. i have 15mm spacers in the rear and 8mm in the fronts. the rears are flushed and the front are tucked and barely sits against the inner fender wells. but no rubbing at all.

You shouldn't go lower than 9.5's for the width. The concave look of the rim is what makes the FN01R stand out. I would go with either 18 x 9.5 or 17 x 10. The offsets seem to be fine with me. You'll be getting a semi-aggressive look.

Yes, I'm in on the group buy for the new Progress autox springs. But that doesn't look like it is going to happen. Might have to cough up the money for some good coilovers. Wife will kill me if $2000 goes missing out the saving account
