So after getting no sleep last night trying to figure this out and not getting many answers from anyone on offset, I think the rims that I wanted to do come in the right offset.

OK...2003 GT....I went to americanmuscle.com and actually really like the FR500's in anthracite finish. As in my title, I want the 18x9's in the front and 18x10's in the rear.

For the rear, I'm going with 285/35/18.

Here's my dillema: I'm about to put Eibach Sportline lowering springs on it....they say they will create a 1 3/4 to 2 1/4" drop. I would like to get both the wheels and tires from americanmuscle.....the smallest they have (in a matching front and rear tire) for the 9" rim are 265/35/18.

Am I going to scrub up front??

You will scrub only on the hardest sweeping turns. High speed ones at that.

you should be fine, but with that much of a drop, make sure you get some c/c plates in there as well.
