i'm planning to buy a set of rims and would want to know if the 18x8.0 would fit my car with a sportline springs? what tire size should I get with that?

thanks!

they will rub most likely............i had some 18x8s on mine with a H&R coilover drop (not sure exactly how low it was......) but they rubbed like crazy, i would think the 18x8's would rub on basically any lower focus.............something that could help that i didn't do is go with a 225 width tire instead of a 235 like i went with........

18x8 will deff rub with the 2.2" sportline drop and most likely rub on any 1.5" drop. I would suggest a 18x7.5 wheel if you are planning to drop.

get 18x7's. It's not like the focus needs a ton of grip. you'll get better gas mileage too.

even with the 18x7.5 they rub occationally on the inner plastic wheel well
