The wheel tire suspension plan

[5.7sbc]

Ok here goes . . . I plan on lowering the car approx. an inch and installing 18x8 245/40R18 with the appropriate offset (40-60) on all corners. Anybody see any problems with that setup? Also can anyone point me in the right direction for locating rims? What I have been able to track down online so far aren't what I'm looking for. Something in a 5 spoke black, with a polished/chrome lip or something BMW 7 series style and chrome. Any info would be greatly appreciated and pictures are always helpful!

Have you browsed Boze Forged's website? I'm a reseller for their wheels. You can get the center of the wheel powder coated any color you wish with a polished lip. You can view their finishes here:

Also, you can browse both of their websites here:

I have a few of their wheels on my website but I can get any wheels they have on their site. The good thing about their wheels is that you can specify what offset you want since all the wheels are custom made to order.

It depends on what size and other features you would want. Go to my website and configure a wheel like you want it. All the wheel prices are the same for each model Boze makes.

I like what I see . . . be prepared for me when I get my taxes done! I like that I can pic and choose, to get just the look I'm going for it is a very fair price! Got a quick question though . . . if I went w/ a 37mm offset do you see me rubbing?

I am having similar dilemma. I am looking at wheels with 38mm offset. After researching and getting some tips from experienced drivers on here, I've came to the conclusion that you shoudn't go any less than 35mm. Your tires are right at the fender-well there. Unless you decide to lower your car, and you have a fully-loaded vehicle you shouldn't have any rubbing. You may on occasion with a full-load and big bump experience a rub.

OK I've done some more investigation I should be between 38-42mm offset
