I have been looking through the forums, but have been unable to tell if the rims and tires I just bought will actually work on my car. As far as I can tell, it will be a close call. Here is what I have:

18" Konig Blatant rims (et40)
(2 front) 225/40/18
(2 rear) 235/40/18

please don't tell me i have to roll my rear fenders

also, does anyone know if the rims will still work after I install my Bilstein Tuned Sport suspension kit? (i think it will lower my car around .5" to 1.5")

Any bit of advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

If you have the perfect offset, no, you wont need to roll them. Im running 235/40/18's all around, (my car's a sport package, so its dropped a wee bit) and i had to take a hacksaw to my inner fender to make it work. (You're basically cutitng away plastic, this sounds really drastic but in fact isn't)

cheers, keep rollin on em dubs:D

Hacksaw?!?!?! What offset wheel do you have? Why didn't you just roll them?
