Help with wheel and suspension setup!
 
Hi, after about half a year of owning the car I'm finally thinking about lowering it and getting new wheels.

What I am thinking about so far is RSR Super Downs which should drop the front down 1-1.2 inches and the rear 1.2-1.4 inches

For the wheels I am thinking about the SSR GT V02 in 18x8, maybe 18x8.5 for the rear with an offset of +35

Do you guys think this will go well? Also would the RSR superdowns require me to buy new shocks as well? Sorry I'm pretty new to car modifications so I'm not too knowledgable

GT V02 only come in 7.5, 8.5, 9.5 widths for 5x100 bolt pattern.

Thanks, let's just say I did a square set up with 8.5 then?

You keep the stock struts. The SSR wheels will not be flush if thats the look you are going for-- you will need to get spacers.

What would the ideal spacer be to keep it flush with an offset of +44?
