Hey quick question?

i have the tein basic suspension and my car is riding on 215/18/40ZR tires and i can adjust it to as much as i want. the front i have about a 2" drop and the back the same.

the front has no wheel gap its prefectly matched to the car and i have no problems whatsoever. the car rides perfect in bumps and on the road.My back end of the car is tucked just a little bit but you could always adjust to it to whetever setting you want so it wont tuck.

i recommend you get the tein basic damper its perfect for 18" wheels it makes your car look really nice.

It won't be a problem... I think offset of the wheels might come into play though if you're talking bout rubbing issues. *shrugs*

Make sure you get a 2xx/40/18 rubber. 35 profile is like a rubber band, i wouldnt feel confortable with it on 18s.....
