Default 18x9 all around on SC300???

Finally found rims within my budget but i have a couple of questions... hopefully you guys can point me to the right direction.

well, like the title says... the rims are 18x9 all around. will they fit?
offset is 45 at 25 pounds per wheel.
i car is currently stock height but im debating whether to go with Eibach (1 in. drop)
or Espiler (i think they are 2 or 2.5?). and the dealer suggested tire size 245/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear, but i wanted to go a little bigger. what do you guys think?

thanks in advance.

That should be fine. I have a buddy running the same setup.

Bigger? What do you mean by bigger? The tire spec are close to OEM spec. How much bigger do you want to run. My only suggestion is to run 275/35/18 rear which will match up to the 245s better.

Wow! That actually fits in the front? I never knew the SC can take such wide wheels up front. That's awesome.

Man, how come we don't see crazier lips up front on the SC What offset are the rims?

Because people are afraid to fit lower offset wheels up front. Nor, do they think they will fit.
