Default Lowering with 18x10 rims on front...

Was looking into lowering my car and getting some new CCW SP551 rims 18x10 in the front and 18x12 in the back. Back is being mini tubed for the fitment so no worries on the back. Front on the other hand seems to be a little problematic. Was talking with Sam Strano and he said that I couldnt make that work without changing my LCAs. What LCAs do I need to use to make this work? Or do I just need to do a rim change to 18x9?

What offset ?
A 18 x 10 with a +44 to +50 should fit without any problems.

I run the 18x10 CCW SP500s (seen in my avatar pic) up front, lowered with Sam's springs and Koni SA shocks all around, and I have no issues whatsoever. The clearance is tight, but no rubbing at all.

99Bluz28 I was looking at a +50 offset or something a little less like +44. MeentSS02 sounds like it works and will be looking at your avatar after this post.

Appreciate the info!!

I don't know, and I've never measured them - when I called CCW to order them, they already knew what I needed.
