Hey, I just bought a 1995 240sx, came with some 18X9.5-235/35/18; 18X10.5-255/35/18 +25 offset all around Varrstoens ES2's. Car is slammed on Megan coilovers and fenders have been rolled to accommodate. Tires stick out like crazy especially in the rear. I am in the process of redoing the car, engine swap, interior redone, body work, paint, etc. I am fitting new fenders and fixing the quarters. I am wondering what I need to do to not have to mutilate the body to accommodate the wheels.

Can I lower the car below factory ride height with these wheels? Should I just throw these wheels out and go with a slimmer set to lower the car and save my fenders? Should I put the fronts (9.5") to the rear and get 8.5" in the front?

I want to retain factory camber/caster, at least close to spec. I don't mind wheel gap, would prefer a sports car look, not a street sweeper look. What offset is flush without any poke? Thank you for your responses.
