what offset?

"RS Watanabe's 8 Spoke Type R" I believe is the full description of my rims.

Traub83,

 

I had a look at the rear wheels and from my rough calculations i would say you have about 125mm worth of Back-spacing on the rears, this is usable space available, and about 110mm worth of Forward-Spacing available,

 

So, if we look at the rear wheels you have purchased,

 

"set of 18x9.5" with 35mm offset"

 

Without adapters you have,

10.5" rim x 25.4 = 266.7mm

266.7 / 2 = 133.35mm

133.35 + 35 = 168.35 Back-Spacing

133.35 - 35 = 98.35 Forward-Spacing,

 

As you can see you are going to have a problem fitting these wheels, you only have 125mm worth of clearnace for BS, so lets grab Ross's 40mm adapters again,

This has the effect of reducing BS by 40mm and increasing FS by 40mm,

So,

168.35 - 40 = 128.35 BS

98.35 + 40 = 138.35 FS,

 

Have 125mm worth of BS available and your using wheels (with the adapters) that give you 128mm approx worth of backspacing, as long as you dont go super huge tyres this should be okay, so you can avoid the smaller OD coilovers for sure,

But your wheels are going to poke past your rear guards im thinking, as you have about 110mm worth of FS available and your wheels (with the adapters) give you about 138mm worth of FS, so you will need to get them lipped or use some sort of flare,
