Another will these rims fit topic

[IIv SHaDoW vII]

Car: 98 Eclipse GSX with stock suspension.

18x9.5 +35 offset FN01R-Cs

I have already seen this thread:
http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/handling-tech/363738-fn01r-c-fitment-question.html

but I didn't know if the GST vs the GSX made a difference. Will I be ok with such a wide rim on the GSX?
I see these wheels on Evos all over the place.

Also, would I still be ok if I decided to lower the car later on a 1.5 inch drop?

Thanks!

Don't know if this helps out or all, but i have 18x8.5 rims with 35 offset on my GST, car is lowered about an inch and a half with koni adjustables and i'm currently running toyo 225/40's on all 4 corners. It seems like there is at least an inch+ of space between the inside of the wheel/tire and wheel well's which means your application should work as long as you get a nice low profile tire and not too too wide. However, i would still double check for sure or let someone else chime in. later

PS- 9.5" wide and a 35 offset seems pretty wide. Like i said, mines are 8.5" wide with a 35 offset and they are near perfectly flush with the wheel well arch, maybe even stick outwards just a hair, but is near perfection in my book. if i even would have done 235's instead of 225's i think it would have looked odd as they would have appeared more bulging out of the wheel wells than i would have liked. 9.5" wide with a 35 offset may push them out too far for your liking, or if you like your wheels sticking out a bit more past your wheel wells, then no worries. your good to go.

You'll be fine with a +35 offset on stock suspension.
