Default 18" Offset Question

Looking at a set of wheels for my S. Lowered on Coilovers no pull/roll.
Specs:
18x8 +48
18x9 +48

How would these sit? I have been searching on this site for a while and can't seem to find that setup anywhere. Much thanks in advance...

Your right in the range that should work, depending on tire size and camber. Running 225/40 and 255/35 should be good. And -1 up front and -2 in the back. Basically UK spec.

I looked at the wheel fitment guide and judging by that I should be ok. I just wanted to see if anyone had personal experience and/or pics. Alignment I can do myself...I just prefer not to have to pull/roll fenders.

That looks really good. Just curious if the extra half inch in rear will make much of a difference...really appreciate the pics!

Are your wheels Blitz Type 01? =). I had the same exact sizes at one point and ran 225/40 front and 255/35 rear with no fender mods. It only rubbed in the rear on big dips. The fronts were fine. Then later I switched to 215/40 and 245/35 and had no rubbing issues. I preferred having the meatier setup though.

I would roll the fenders. Just do a basic light roll, no pulling or anything.
