Exclamation Help me decide on this!!

How it look to you guys? My concerned was it is 18" and +35 Offset. I think 18" give me more space to drop, but I wasn't sure about the offset. Should I buy it?

Wheel size has nothing to do with how much you can drop your G. You need
to think how the car will look with 18" wheels (they're to small) if you go with
19" and mid 20" offset you can lower it within reason....1" to 1 1/2".
Don't forget it needs to be driveable! My coupe is lowered 1" and I have
issues with speedbumps, driveways and service bays/lifts.

Depending on how wide the wheel is, most likely 8.5" you'll need a 25mm spacer to make it look any good on a coupe. So, i say, NO. Find a wheel with the right offset to begin with. If you're not sure about correct offsets, search under my name and you'll find what you're looking for.

They would be more tucked in than stock coupe 18" wheels if that's the case... big NO NO.
