Default is this gonna work for me ?

i've posted before a topic about Advan RGs...

and i got these specs of Hyper rev magazine...and i dont know how these specs would work with my car...

im lowering the car and i've ordered them with these specs..

8.5 +37 front, 9 + 45 rear

now..turbo_pwr and someone else i dont remember said this might not work since cwest and phase might be using diffrent fenders and all...but im still not convinced that it wouldnt work on my car..

now the question if its going to work or not...and how much rubber im going to be wasting is not a problem...are these going to fit or not..

and please i need a real advice from someone who knows what they're talking about...

i would like to have xviper's personal comment on this if its possible...

the reason im getting +37 for the fronts is to be able to replace the OEM brake calipers with Spoon's...i think aj_racing had to change his rims from the advan's he had to volk CE28N just to be able to fit the calipers..


i'm able to get those specs for the car my friend was able to locate them in japan

and one last question..might sound stupid but what is the PCD(mm) of the S2K ?
thanks

They are not going to work without modification to the fenders of the car. I would say not just rolling the fender lip but modification.

8.5 inch front with +37 with a drop? Good luck.

That rim is a half inch too wide and at least +11 away from still being a problem when lowered. Some of the Volks at +48 in the front is about as low as I'd go.

Yours rears are also going to be a problem.

CAn i use 18"x8 (offset +55) 2 piece rim with high-disk to clear the spoon caliper?

Are the spoon rear rotors diameter same to oem rear rotors? can i use super low-disk for rear setting?

Thx
