Will this setup work? 18 x 8 35
 
Hey guys, I'm new here, so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. But I just bought a second gen toaster a couple months ago and am looking for input on a wheel and tire setup. I'm set on konig oversteers, but I want to make sure theyll work before i make the purchase. I'm seen very similar variations to the setup I'm looking at, but can't find the exact setup (particularly the offset). I'm looking at 18 x 8 with a 35 mm offset, 225/40/18s, and planning on going with df210 springs. I'm pretty much set on these wheels if I can make them work, but I don't know how to figure out exactly what size tires will work and what offset is necessary. Thanks in advance for helping, and I'm looking forward to being apart of the community!

They'll fit fine. Personally I would go with 215/40/18s for the tires, I like the look of the slight stretch they give.

Thanks Greg, I also like that slightly stretched look, but I've heard some tire places will be hesitant to touch a vehicle with a setup like that, maybe that's just a myth though

Like Greg said, that setup should work well. I also agree with him on the tire size, especially if you may plan to go lower in the future.

As far as shops. Yes, some chains will be hesitant to work with you, but the minor stretch that you'd be getting shouldn't be a deal breaker. If it is, move on and find a "performance" shop in your area. They'll be better equipped to handle your lowered car and special needs anyways.

Awesome, thanks again for the input guys. I don't plan on going any lower, in fact I'm almost considering doing the NF's instead considering how often I have to drive through downtown chicago. I'll keep you guys updated though. Definitely excited to treat my box to something nice, especially after it's been hit twice already within the couple months of me owning it.
