Post Rim/Tire Combination?

Just wondering if anyone knows if a 18x8.5 w/245-45-18 will have enough turning radius clearance with eibach/kyb suspension combo? Comments? Opinion? Suggestions?

yes it will. 18's should be no problem. i'm pretty sure that even if you went up to 19's, you should clear the fender wells. i'm running the eibach/kyb combo with 245-35-20 +38 offset, and the only problem i have is a MINOR rubbing issue when i make a full turn in reverse. other that that, it clears every other time

You definatley have enough clearence. Eibachs barely lower the gs, 35-38 offset is clean with that setup.
