Default Wheels fitment help

Will this a good fitment for the s2k? I'm planning on lower my car about 1/2 - 1 in max.. Do you think I'll need to do a fender roll?

18x9.5 35 offset Rears,
18x8.5 35 offset Front,
5x114.3 lug

Too low of an offset. That is, unless you are actually going for the hellaflush look. If that is the case than you might want to drop it a little more, 1/2" to 1" drop would look even more ridiculous than hellaflush does to begin with (poke with massive wheel gap). And yes, you will have to roll/pull the fenders and run aggressive negative camber.

You would need to do some work to make it work.

Our cars have a high offset from factory, 35 is really low IMO.

My car is sitting on 35 offset. 8 and 9 in the rear. I have 235/40 front and 255/35 rear with 2" drop. I have no problem with the front. 8.5 might be okay if you have 225/40 tires. Now the rear, if you have 9.5 rear, it will rub. Especially if your planning to use 255/35 tires. Right now, my 9's are slightly rubbing when i drive with removal of lip guard. I just need a slight roll. If your using 9.5 with 255/35 I would think you would have to roll flat on rear. You might not need to pull but for sure roll flat since is 1/2" wider. I rub about 1/8 on the lip. I hope this information helps.
