Default 18x9.5 +50?

I might order some axis halo's and they are staggered 18x9.5 rears with a 50 offset.. With a 255-35-18 tire..

The fronts are 18x8.5 with 225-40-18 tires


Will these fit on my s2k without major modifying its lowered on skunk2 springs with a extra 2 coils cut off the fronts??

Right now i have 17x8's with 215-45-17 front and 245-40-17 rear tires and i'm straight..

Why, why would you cut coils off of springs So dangerous and handling has to be very poor. I wouldn't do that to a hoopty much less an S.

Do us all a favor and buy a Civic/Integra if you want to be a cheap ass. You want to be low? Get coilovers. In fact, instead of spending money on new wheels, why don't you just buy coilovers? To answer your question though, the front has a pretty aggressive offset (+45) so you might want to run a 215/40.

There was actually, get coilovers or springs that haven't been compromised. Then he can worry about wheels afterwards.

I agree with not cutting your springs but these guys are just being a bit too hard on you noob.. so heres the deal some negative camber and rolling your rear fenders you should be fine.. probabaly be a good idea to roll your fronts while your at it too..

PS. get some coilovers
