how to get 245 18's to fit
Right now I have stock wheels and stock suspension and was wondering what I should do and the exact specs so I can completely avoid rubbing.

245 will fit front and rear no problem. If you are getting 18x9 you may poke in the front depending on offset but that can be fixed with camber bolts

Would I need to get coil overs or could I lower it an inch with springs and have no problems? |

18x8.5 +44 should clear the front spring perch no problem. You'll have a mile of room in the rear. You'll want to run a 35 series tire. (245/35r18) but you shouldn't have an issue fitting those wheels. And most likely won't poke at all.

You won't need coilovers. Like Syn said you'll have no problems at all

Hey guys, want to piggy back on this. I want to run 18x9.5 +43 with 245/35 tyres. Plan on putting it on coilovers. Does anyone think I would have rubbing issues without adjusting camber?

gMit, you'll be cutting it close. I'm not sure the wheel will fit without contacting the spring perch. Once you get coils you should be fine, but I'd definitely get them before fitting the wheels. Also might consider a lower offset. Somewhere in the +38 ish ballpark. Just my 2 cents.

Wheels in question are Enkei rs05rr. Would really love the semi concave face. Of course I'd have to go coilovers. The lower offset ones change to 18x9 + 40 but change the face.

An 18x9 +40 is a perfect fitment in my opinion. But I definitely understand. Just remember that the 9.5 +43 will be nearly 10mm closer to your suspension. I can say for sure if it will fit or not. Definitely not with stock springs. Have you checked the wheel directory to see if anyone is already running the setup you want. Might find some useful info there.
