Got some new wheels & eibach springs

I bought some buddy club P1 racing II in hyper gold, 18x8 with a +38 offset which is pretty aggressive. I also got some eibach springs which i'll install next week when I pick up some koni shocks. Here are the pics .














I'm not sure which tire combination to go with yet, i'm thinking either falken azenis or hankook rs2's and some eibach sway bars.

you'll probably need a spacer for that I believe. Other than that very nice rims! someone on the BM was selling a set of buddy clubs

Actually no, as 38offset is already low and putting a spacer on will reduce the offset further causing more fender rubbing. Goodluck w/ your aggressive fitment...you'll have to do some work. Nice wheels.

That's what I was thinking. What I would need to do is roll or cut the rear fender.

My advise is to have them shaved down flush with the inside of the fender.....thats what I did, -vs- rolling them.

So if I do shave the fenders, would it be possible to fit a +38 on the CL?

That's what I was thinking. I have 15x8 with 235/50/15 R888's on my spyder and those are as wide as 255's and I have - 2.5 camber on that car since it's only for track use. I would hate to have a lot of negative camber on this car since it's daily driven. I saw LIPPSTUH's threads and man those tires are outside the fenders lol. I'll test fit the wheels on the CL this weekend and figure out if it's worth cutting the fenders, if not i'll just sell the wheels and get a different set with the correct offset.
