Question Will this work?

I am new to all of this, but I am doing my homework on it. I have a setup I'd like to accomplish, but how in the world will I know whether it will work, rub, etc?

Let's say I end up with a Neuspeed suspension, which apparently has a 1.5"F and 1.0"R drop.

1. The wheel I want is a 18x8, 50 or 35 offset.

OEM is 50, correct? Does that mean the 35 will stick out from underneath the fender?

2. The dealer of the wheel says my best option is a 245/50-18.

That didn't look too good on the tire calculator as far as inaccuracy on the speedo.

Given the suspension lowering described above, will I have any rubbing, clearance, etc. issues? What if I add a lip kit?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

factory 17x7's have 55 offset and 245/50 is waaaaaaay to chunky

35offset is with those will definately rub.

I have 18x8's 49 et 235/40's and its pretty flush in the front with a lil tuck in the rear.

BTW im about 2 in. front drop and 1.75 in. rear drop

the front rubs on hard turns, other than that no rubbing problems
