Default 18's on a 2wd?!...

Whats the best offset for 18" wheels on a 2wd saph?!...

Would 8x18 et25 fit ok?! Would coilovers be needed for the front?!

Tyre size would be 215 35 18....

Thanks

ET should be closer to 35 than 25 on 8" wide wheel. No need for coil-overs when using 215/35/18 tyres. If you go for 225/35 tires, coil-overs might be in order, otherwise it could be tight fit.

I have 8x18" et35 on my Cossie. Ok it's 4wd but one of my friends has the same size rims whith same et on his 2wd Cossie.
