i loved the coupe 18's on my car, the aggressive offsets really change the look of it.

If the tires don't rub... you don't need to roll the fenders.

Fill your car up with people and drive around a few corners and over a few bumps... see if it rubs... If it doesn't rub... and if you like the look... I'd say you're done.

Looks good to me, but I like the aggressive look...

Does anyone advise against this?

I'm looking for slightly more traction from a dig.
Bueller?

That looks fine to me. The big reason is that the coupe wheels are lower offset so they stick out a bit more.

If it bothers you that much get some 235's.

PS that looks high for Z springs. Did you get coupe springs? The coupe will give you 0.5", the Z will be 1".

Honestly, I don't see how this would rub much, if at all. Follow _jb's advice and drive around a bit and see what happens.

I have the Z springs in the front and Coupe in the rear. I'm going to stick with the 245's.
