Default Help needed 8x18 front and 9x18 rear

Hi! I've found some rims I want really bad! But they only come in 8x18 ET 35 and 9x18ET30. Is there a way to make this fit on an S? If so, how much fenderwork need to be done, and which tire sizes are possible to use? The car is now lowered 1inch on HR springs, and camber is 1degree front and 2 degrees rear if I remember right.

They will not fit without a lot of work. I would think you are going to need to do more than just a fender lip roll to make them fit.

Massive pull/roll on fenders and at least -3 camber.

How high offset/ET is needed to make it work with 8x18 front and 9x18 rear without extreme fenderwork?
