Guys,
I'm planning on buying wheels with these set up:

Front : 18x8 offset 30mm (225/40/18)

Rear : 18x9 offset 39mm (255/35/18)

My car has been dropped about 2.5" or a bit more; I know 35mm offset will be the best bet.

Will I have rubbing issue?????
Thanks.

you might be cutting it close up front...get the front rolled out extensively, and maybe pulled a little, and you should be fine.

OCKlasse,
Your car looks sick dude; I keep saying 18" but everytime I look at your gallery....man, those 19" Club Linea & the way you lowered it, it's a beautiful thing. OK enough ass kissing:D

So, the problem more on the front instead of the rear.

thanks a lot man...appreciate the kind words! Yeah...your problem is more with the front...I think you can do it...it will just be cutting it close. Here was my car with an 18 * 8 ET32? (you can look it up...they are OEM SLK55 wheels) up front lowered approx 2.5". Now that I think of it, I am pretty confident you'll be fine up front...just get your fenders rolled really well!
