Question about new wheels

[Solarizona]

I'm looking at getting some new wheels, possibly these:

I was wondering if they would fit. They're 18x8 with a 35mm offset. I'm lowered with Tokico/Eibach. Also, does anyone have any good/bad opinions about ASA? I had read somewhere (Tirerack.com?) that they are associated with BBS. Thanks for the help.

with that size and offset you might have some fender rubbing issues. itll be snug for sure.
i really havnt heard anything bad or good about asa wheels. i do like their line-up though. those wheels however... dont do it for me. a bit boring.... still, its your choice. go with the wheel your happy with.

Thanks for the reply, Blue. I'm not totally sold on those wheels, but I would like something like it.

I ride on ASAs. They use BBS's casting technology. They definitely hold up well against potholes for cast wheels.

I have 18x8's @ +35 as well. I'm not dropped though, but I have heard they may rub the fender wells if dropped.

have you seen the ASA JH9's? similar 5-spoke style but more exciting.

my rims right now are 18X8 +35 with 225/40 tires.
dropped with coilovers. no wheel gap. fenders slightly rolled.
I do rub on when i whip a turn. i also cant drive with 2 passengers since it rubs on tinny bumps. the rubbing is usually rear lips sometimes the front fender wells.

if i were to roll the rear lips more i think i would be fine. also raising the car would help too. but with your drop you should be fine, as long as you roll that rear lip.

i like this offset way more than my 18 x 7.5 +42. the front rims are right to the outside fender and rears are not so sunken in....i thought the +42 on the rear looked dumb when you look at it from the back.

So basically that set up won't really work. I really don't want to hassle with rolling my fenders. Thanks for the quick replies everyone, and I'll keep those ASA JH9's in mind. A guy down the street has those on his GTO. Pretty frickin' sweet.

Fender rolling is easier and more painless than you think. Baseball bat + heatgun = WIN
