Post wheel and tire help!

Hi everyone, I orderd some 18s for my 02 s2k from this custom wheel shop in raleigh, nc. After reading all the post, I've decided to go with 18*7.5 and 48mm offset with 225/40/18 for the front, and the back is 18*8.5, 60mm offset with 255/35/18 like other people recommended in here. Unfortunately, they told me it take a while to get 18*8.5. They asked me if I wanted 18*7.5 all the way around. I'd like some suggestions or opinions on what should I get in order for the car to handle better than stock . I also want to get it lower no more than 2" later on and dont want any rubbing issues. By the way what setup do you guys have on the car with and without coilover. Sorry for the long post. Thanks alot guys.

Stick with your original order, you do not want 7.5" rear.

Whlie the 18X7.5 all the way around would work I agree. Stay with the 18X8.5 for better looks and handling.
