How much lower than standard is your car? Short answer, yes they will fit. Im assuming its something like an 8" wide wheel with the standard offset etc.

Just just checking the offset sizes. ones i wana put on are +48 offset and my walkis are +46 i beleive and theyre very close. so im guessing id need spacers yeh??

I'm running 235/45 R17. Guards are rolled & it still rubs on the guards LOL.

Even chasers sit about 2-3mm off the coil over spring on the inside lol. but yeh should be right ill make something up to make it fit.

235/40R18 on a 18x8 48p rim should fit fine front and rear with just gaurds rolled. You shouldn't need spacers

You shouldn't need spacers yeh hopefully, its just my coil overs run very close to the tyre. my walkis were about 2mm off the spring. its not standard suspension so yeh. Id be stoked if it fitted caue i could throw em straight on but ill have to see.

Coilovers should give you more room than factory

Yeah coilover's will definitely help, I found the off set was a big problem with my mags.
