you're not even dropped.
9.5 and that far of an offset should fit with no problem at all.

You will be fine,even if you drop it an inch and a half,you would still fit with ease..

im lowered on aspec so 3/4 of an inch(so yeah not dropped pretty much)

i do plan to get teins in the future to drop it about 1.5 inches though.


any idea what kind of spacers i should be getting if i am getting the 18x9.5 40 offset? im thinking about 15 mm all around?
