Technically the stock suspension is a coil over setup, just not adjustable.

My spanner wrench hangs a little to the left and shrivels up when it gets cold

What you need, sir, is a nice rubber mallet. They help prevent rubbing.

Sweet thanks will do. Also will those offsets cause any rubbing or anything?

My suggestion would be the rear wheel choice in the front as well. Beyond that, it depends on camber and tire size to say if it will rub. Plan on rolling the fenders.

A 245/40 would work well with that rear size all around. Rubber mallet to the fenders a little to prevent the inst inst inst rub rub rub.

Haven't you been paying attention, Dan? Rubber mallets save lives.

How about 18x8 w/ 35mm offset all around? Will that suck them in too much?

(Also, what do you think about white rims on a LY? The guy suggested them to me, but I'm not sure they would look right) The rims the guy said he thinks would look nice are the Motegi MR122 white ones. I personally thought flat black w/ a lip (maybe) would be nice, but I'm currently photoshopping the white ones just to take a look.

Should mention that my tires right now are only 225/45. Yeah I know, lol. I'm hoping to upgrade to some 245/40's eventually. Want to get some different wheels first.

And why wider than 8"?
