My wild guess is you have to use spacers for the wheels that you're getting. I havent seen any 18x8/18x9 wheel that is a direct bolt on.

Yes, the springs questions have been asked a million times (over a million times I think). Before people start asking you to "do a search", let me help you out: Renntech springs is your answer.
