Talking Please evaluate my potential setup

Will be purchasing the rims/tires first because I really need tires anyway



SSW Raze 18x8 +42 offset

They come in a bundle for 850 bucks with either Cooper zeon zpt or hankook k106 tires
-does anyone know about this wheel brand?
-Will these wheels stick out?
-Which tires should i go with?

Please do not list other tire options as I have a very limited budget and this bundle seems to be the best deal thus far.

For Springs i will most likely be doing the H&R sports
-Will I rub?
-Will I need a front and rear camber kit or no kit?
-what are the best shocks to pair with these springs?

Thanks for the help

Wheel design is fine, offset is to low though. The wheels I just bought are 18 x 7.5 with a +47 offset so if you go with a 8 you will need +48 or higher; higher being better.

Yeah I think you would need atleast a 45+ offset with the 18x8 , I have a 42+ on my 18x7.5 without rubbing.

I think just rubbing which can be taken care of by rolling the fenders or cutting tabs, if anything you'll probably be right at the fender like I would if I had a 40+ offset.

Well I'd like them to be as flush as possible- i dont mind making modifications for that to happen.

What about the tires/suspension setup?

For that price does it really matter. I never had coopers but had hankook on my civic years ago and never had a problem. The springs are fine you'll have plenty of room

Your wheels might stick out some.

I have 8" wide wheels with a +45 and that got me the flush look I wanted, I think any thing less will stick out.
