you will have to cut your rear bumper tabs, and possibly roll fenders.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I didn't want to create another "Will these fit" thread. I'm looking at some Enkei 18x8 wheels with a +48mm offset with 225/45-18 or 225/40-18 tires (whichever sits wider). I'm currently on stock springs but plan on getting the H&R OE Sport Springs. Can someone tell me if I'll have rubbing issues once I get the H&Rs? I'm kind of a noob as far as wheels are concerned so I just want to be sure. Appreciate the help.

you might, but personally i'd go with 235/40R18 (that would = oem size diameter and be wider)

and if you do (like i did) it was the bumper tabs and screws that were rubbing (but i cut the fender just in case)

Thanks for the tire size tip. I wasn't sure if the tire sizes I had would match the OE diameter.

^ for a 18x8" rim +48 offset ...

235/40/18 is closest to OEM circumference HOWEVER ... 225/40/18 might be a better choice for you to minimize the chance to require body work (ie to prevent rubbing).

Thanks! Do you think there's a chance it will rub if the drop is only 0.75" in the front and 0.5" in the rear? It's the OE Sport springs. Would I have to just cut the tabs?

that should clear just fine... +48 with a 225 tire with the oe drop is perfect for just getting around the whole fender rolling issue!
