18x8 + 45 all around Dropped 1"
I'm currently running 18x8 + 45 all around, 225/35 tires and I have no issues.
I'm about to drop my s on eibach pro's and I'm worried I'm going to have roll the front and rear. It looks like its going to sit very flush. Any offset gurus want to chime in before I seal the deal?

For a short period i was running some temporary wheels/tires. The wheel size all around was 18x7.5" +42, the tires were 225front/235rear. At stock height i never had any problems. The second i lowered it on the eibach pro-kit i had issues with the front. While fully articulated, the rear tires literally had MAYBE 2-3mm of clearance (but they cleared). The front however rubbed everywhere i went. I had to pretty much crawl around turns and avoid dips in the freeway. The tires sawed off part of my inner liner and retaining clips the 2nd day into it. =/
fyi:
-The fenders weren't rolled or flared during that period.
-Camber settings: -1.0 front / -2.0 rear

Thanks for sharing your experiences jon. I've been riding on the pro kits for about three days now, and I haven't heard a single rub yet. I'll have to see if I experience rubbing once they settle though.
Next set of tires I plan on running 225 front, 255 rear all on my 18x8 setup. I'd roll and relocate the rear tab of course. That is if I keep these 18's
