if you run a 235/40/18 it should work. Will look very aggressive

^I thought that low of an offset won't fit on our vehicles?

To me that means it won't fit. Nothing like shredding a tire when you hit a pot hole.

white46..are your rims size (18x8 ET 35) or something wider like 18x9.5 for the rubbing when goes over speed bump?

I think 18x9.5 ET 33 is too aggressive to me :0)

It looks fantastic. Have you rolled the fenders?

IMHO the fitting isn't ideal.

18x8 with et35 will be much less aggressive than Vince's BBS CH with 19x8.5 Et35 which on his car is about even with the fender. BUT that's as far as you can go with these offset.
