Default Question about fitment

I finally found some wheels that I like. These are the specs available on this wheel, but again, i have no idea what would be the ideal size for the front and rear tires or wheels. My guess is 8 1/2 for the front and 9 1/2 for the rear, but then again, what tires should i use?

I'm just speculating here, I dont even know if these wheels will fit without rubbing since I have tein s-tech springs on my car on stock shocks; thats like a 1" drop all around, maybe a bit more.

Need help here guys.

Size Offset

8 1/2J 42
9J 18
9 1/2J 45
10J 22

A 7.5" front rim needs about 55 mm offset to look right on a non-lowered car. You are 1" wider than this and about 10 mm short on offset on this one.

A 9" rear rim needs about 65 mm offset to look right. You are 1/2" wider and 20 mm short on offset on this one.

Add in 1" lowering and the proper sized tires to fit those rims and I think you're going to start grinding off your wheel well edges with every dip in the road you hit.

I'll let others post their suggestions. I'm sure with enough enthusiasm, someone will come up with a way. It might take some money, too.

theres no way they will fit, unless you like the mexi low rider look, in that case, this will work perfectly.
