Help??? What will fit?? Hey guys. I wish I had found this website before I bought my rims. I love how they look, but the offset is such that I don't think I can lower it. The rims are Zenetti Mystics. 18x8 with a 35 offset. Could I lower the car??? Also how wide of a tire can I put on a 8 inch wide rim. I currently have 255/35/18 Nitto 555 DR's on it. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks 
Do you have pics of the car looking at it from the front or the rear seeing the sides of the rims and fenders. I am not sure how they look on the car to see if you can lower it. Do they stick out any?

Ive seen 38 mm offset on lowered car. If your wheels dont hit the fender's lip while compressing the front suspension lets say on hard braking(that would bottom it out pretty good) then it can be lowered. Are you sure you dont have 8.5" rims, 8" are pretty rare nowadays. I would'nt go any bigger than a 265 or 275 at the max.
