Pic request: Aftermarket 18s with Stechs

Hey guys.
I'm planning to buy 18 inch rims--the varrstoen 2.2.1's in +12 and was wondering how they'd look with my drop. I'm dropped on 350z stechs and did the rear springmount mod. I searched but couldn't really find any pictures. I want to rock 18s but don't want a huge fender gap :[
If you guys could post some pictures with your coupes dropped on stech's--or any spring that's about a 1-1.8 inch drop--with aftermarket (or oem) 18's, that'd be great.
Thanks!

before i put my coils on i had s-techs with my varrstoens but they were 19's so i don't think that the drop would be the same with them



This is before i had my varrstoens, oem 18's with s-techs

instead of doing 18s id keep the stock 18s and do a drop with spacers.

Oh dang the wheel gap isn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Right now I have 20s but I want to go smaller for weight and ride quality and looks. Idk if this is a stupid question, but would it make my car lower going from 20s to 18s?

Haha thanks. Is it a noticeable difference? I want to be a little lower, but not scrape everything :P I'd probably go with a thicker series tire when I get the 18s

Fender gap in the front was very small, with stechs the front is perfect in my opinion, its the rears that could use some more drop but for that you could just do the spring mount mod

The drop in the front is perfect but the back is no where near satisfying. Very weak drop i would look at a different type of spring like 350z htechs or eibach

Haha, thanks. I already did the rear spring mount mod and cut off about .75-1 inch of it, so i think i'm fine. I'm pretty even with the fender gap with my 20s :P
