im on Tein S-Tech: 207/145 - Drop = 1.4"/0.7"
is that lowered 2 much?

if so would 265/35/18 work?

Rears should be fine, might rub in the front, just add some negative camber.

That was with 275's, But you still might have rubbing problems. So it might be a good idea to go with 265's. What wheel are you getting anyways?

^The link did not work. And you should be fine as long as you are running some negative camber.

^No it means you take your car to an alignment shop and tell them to align it to your specs..

Now I just need to decide on a color...ugh
18x10 with around that offset would be better, lip length wise

Yeah

They'll fit, might be better if you get 225.

Smile Work Emotion Cr Kai
Hello!
I'm a new member from Norway. I need some new wheels and I think the Work Emotion Cr Kai in bronze look sexy

Will this fit:
Front
18" x 8,5" offset +35
245/40/18

Back:
18" x 9,5" offset +35
275/35/18

any comments on the choices?

Alex

Your rears will rub. Roll the rear fenders.

Not if he's on S-Techs and has a decent amount of negative camber. With only a .7" drop in the back he will be fine.

You will have trouble with the 18" tires on those rims

The rims will be close...you will likely need a roll in the rear
