My car's lowered on B&G springs 1.6" I got some rims that are 18x8 with a 40 offset.. are these gonna fit without having to roll the fenders? thanks.

I have 18 x 7.5 with +42 offset 235/40, I needed to roll the fenders a bit. I will imagine you will have to as well. I have coilovers, so was able to raise the car as needed. But if you hit a really bad dip in the road or something, the tires could get sliced, happens all the time with mine. They still work but missing rubber around the edges...

I have H&R on mine with a 1.7" drop and 18x7.5 with a 35 offset and untill this weekend it's been fine, a sharp corner at 80 mph sliced the tire a little but that was with some unexpected bumps in the road so you should be fine. By sliced tire I mean barely a sliver around the tire, no big deal. But the car handled great!
