You will be fine, I'm running Sportlines and 18" Motegi FF15. You are going to want to get 225/35R18 Tires, they are spot on for rotation for my car. What year is yours?

2007, I am doing this for sure in about 2 weeks or so and was worried if the 18"s were to big for the 2.0" drop. BTW what is your offset and also your rim is 18x?

Here is the data I collected off an independent site:
18X7 +42MM 26.5LBS

There is still a little wheel gap, I have never had a problem rubbing tires at all and im running 225/40/18 tires.

Also change out your shocks and struts for Koni Yellows, otherwise your ride is going to suck and shortly there after your going to have blown shocks.

^^^ They wont blow if you dont cut the bumpstops.

My tenzoR's dont have cut bumpstops and the struts are holding up well and I live on an unkept gravel road.

if you do the ride will be smoother but they shocks will blow, if you dont the ride will be slightly harsher but they shock life is extended a lot.
