Ok lowered guys. Should I be ok with 18" x 8" 40offset wheels on a Steeda 1" drop or .8" drop from either Ford Racing or eibach? Not looking to go lower than 1". If I will have rubbing issues I won't drop it. Looking for opinions on that matter with the new wheels.

Technically Dyno has 15mm in the front and 20mm in the rear, IIRC. He says the rear is close, but no issues.

I will have to post pics with my stock 16's on my SE Sedan. The sportlines are amazing with 0 wheel well gap, and i still clear curbs when parking. It handles like its on rails. I have always been a fan of sportlines. I will post pics after work.
