I really don't see how these could possibly fit without some sort of fender modification. if so someone needs to update the tC wheel/tire fitment guide.

Clearly you have a somewhat signifcant drop with the coilovers, and of course you can dial them in, but as cited in the "What Fits" sticky: the tC gets MODERATE rubbing on hotchkis springs with a 18x8.5, 35 offset, and only a 225 tire. I realize your profile is a hair smaller on the tire, but still, there should be some stretch on a 225 tire anyway.

Theres just no way I see these fitting so easily or the "What Fits" guide isn't very accurate or agressive at all.

I'm sure your spring rates are most likey stiffer than a set of hotchkis springs, and more than likey your coilovers springs are progressive, not linear like the hotchkis, I still don't see that making a hudge difference, its not like the car bouces around or there seems to be an overabundance of suspension travel. I'm not trying to call you out, just trying to figure out how agressive I can push. Wouldn't want to make a 1500 mistake on my next set of wheels. Aprox how low would you say you are now?

for me might be different cause ive had an accident
so it might fit different but i would just go with 18x8 just to be safe if i was u
