Would it still be ok with a future drop of maybe 1.4" front and 1.3" rear?

roll the fenders, shave both front and rear bumper/fender tabs.

215/35-19 up front, 235/35-19 in the rear.

245/35-19 might fit as well.

if you don't want to do fender mods, go with the +40 offset.

that will effectively "push" the wheels back into the wheel wells by 2 cm, and you'll be able to run 225/35-19 and 255/35-19 on the fronts and rears, respectively (+1 on oem size).

you may still encounter tire rubbing in the wheel wells at extreme steering angles and/or sudden elevation changes, though.

screw the enkei's I have bought the sickest wheels ever.

3 piece zepter's

supposedly they are rare.. atleast thats what every single post (the few I could find) said.

am I an idiot for buying wheels without trying them on? absolutely but damn these are sick and am willing to do w.e it takes to make them fit, including buying a different car LOL

18 8.5 +35
18 10 +35

I practically stold these for the price that I got them. Included tires too but too meaty 235 front and 285 rear.. gonna sell those or throw them out.

If I run 225/40/18 and 255/40/18 will I be ok?

^ yes.

and you won't have to sell your 2is to make them fit - assuming they bolt right up.

(selling a car because the wheels don't fit is a bit backwards, though.)

LOL thanks man I was only trying to help you understand how much I like these wheels but I would never sell my car, just sell the wheels for more

Zepter Riverside is what they are to be exact.


EDIT: also forgot to mention I am on according to road magnet on a 2" drop.. any changes I should presume?

^ right.

if they bolt up, and if you run oem-sized 18" tires, you should not have any issues w/ road magnet springs.

Will this setup rub with F-sport springs:
18X8.5" +35 offset with 225/40R18 front
18X9.5" +38 offset with 255/40R18 rear

or 18x9.5" +35 offset with 255/40R18 rear

I'm still debating between 18" or 19"

Does anyone know if the 19" setup sacrifices a lot on ride quality compared to 18"? or am I better of with 19" since 18" will look too stock looking?
