I wanted to go this route but after speaking to mags i realised that grids won't fit without arch extensions.

I run 225/40-18 with 45 offset on my car, they sit really nice in the arches but they have been rolled to compensate.

Oh right, I thought you were talking about drifts.

Not sure about fitment on your car with standard springs, give mags a shout on here buddy.
