hi everyone, I just have a deal on a set of used weds SA90
but i'm not too sure if they are going to fit my car

rims: weds SA90
size: 17x8 offset 42 (of coz they are 5x100)
tires: 225/45/17

planning to lower my car for an inch after I buy the rims
anyone has the same setup ? any rubbing issue ??

They should fit, I would recommend rolling your fenders before the drop.

Does anyone have experience with tein htech springs? I'm getting a great deal on some volk 18x8 with 44 or 45 offset, and I'm putting them on my wagon. The htechs lower the car almost an inch. Do I need to roll the fenders for something like this?

Shagon, what camber settings were you running with in this pic? I take it this is an old pic? I forgot what my camber was like when the suspension was stock, but since I put my struts and springs on, the rears loog good and the fronts look like it's at a 90 degree(straight up and down). Is this ok, or should I have had a slightly inward camber setting up front?

I tok the car in to get aligned and the front passenger camber was at +.4, so they changed everything back to factory settings which is like -.3 in the fronts. 18's just don't seem that big once you've finally got them, but I would not ever go bigger.
