Hello, I've searched and am a bit confused.

The wheels for the fronts should be fine, with no confusion, but the rears i'm worried. The rear wheel specs are as follows...

5x130
18x10 in
Offset 40 mm

Planning on running 265/35/18 tires

MY97, with the eibach 1" lowering springs and bilstein sport struts. Anybody have any input as if these wheels will be fine? I searched and found Randall's thread regarding his 18x10 w/ 47mm offset and he got 7mm spacers to push it out to +40mm but his vehicle didn't look like it was lowered.

I'm majorly concerned with the +40mm offset being too far out that it would cause fender rubbage. Any input would be appreciated (besides the MY97 not fitting 18s).
