Are you sure those Kazera wheels are 18x9? I found them on Tire Rack, but they were only available in 18x8.5 with 45 offset.

Yea thay are 18x9s. I got them off my other car which is a 3000gt and ive had that car for a year and a few months and they came with that car actually. I am not sure on any of the offsets and stuff becuase i didnt buy the rims. Yea i measured them the tape read 9 and a qauter so a 9 inch rim lol

With 245's on 9" wheels, I'm kind of worried that you'll rub if you drop it hard, especially if you go with coilovers.

coryjames, what do you think?

I am not sure. I might have the papers for those rims and find the offsets but I had these rims with my other car so I'll try and find out. But personally when i put lowering springs and shocks on it it will look good sitting down over those and im sure it wil handle like a dream already does i am so surprised with the handling of this car

haha no a lot of people dont know its there. itll also say your rim size

yeah im on a lil over 2" drop and it rubbed pretty bad are you sure its a 18x9 because my 245/40 on my 18x8 looked just like yours. your speedo is goin to be a little off if you leave those tires on. youll be goin faster then what it reads on your speedo. 18x9 will work but it has to the correct offset and tires. find out if its really a 18x9 or 18x9 and the offset and ill try to help you figure out a way to lower it and make them work

well you gotta do a lil research before you buy. theres a few ways of doin it. most common is just seeing what others put on there cars. theres also tire calculators online you can use to find out what tire size you need to get to have the same diameter as factory. some people dont care if its a lil bigger or smaller. and you kinda go from there. getting the right offset if a little more tricky and im sure theres a good write up about it somewhere. but once again i just looked at what people put on there cars and kinda followed along with them.
