Angel, the Mesh wheels look gorgeous on your car, I love Mesh wheels on the 8, my first set of wheels (HP Evo Ligthning) really suited the car.

correct me if im wrong....offset is a factor, yes...but you also have to take into account the type of rim it is...

the type of rim does plays a role in brake and suspension clearance depending on spoke design. it doesn't play a factor in fender clearance though.

Not much of a ..problem on the rear..

Small caliper and rotor, with almost no protrusion of the caliper.

It is a big problem with wheels without much dish in the front..

yup,

I use 215 50 17's in the winter.

I purchased a set of H-Techs for the car yesterday, it will take a few weeks before the shop gets them, until than I will be shopping for a new set of dampers. I didnt want to lower the car too much. Will post pics when they are installed.

Any recommendations for a decently priced set of Dampers?
