new wheels / need opinions look/size

Wheels look nice.. Fit, I don't know.........

Welcome........ Let us know how you like the 14 Coupe....
 
I would recommend suspension before rims. As for your rim choice, yes they will fit but your car will look like a 4x4 with 4.5finger gap front and 3.5 finger gap in the back. So the rims will not appear to what you want them to look.
 
I have some Konig wheels on my car currently. I will say their fit and finish is very good for how inexpensive the wheel is. I was disappointed with the lack of quality on a set of XXRs we got.
 
thanks guys.. i live in pa road conditions are horrible so im leaving at stock height.. and tire is 225/45r18 not 40r18.. im just hoping i can deal with the wheel to fender gap
 
Go with the 225/40. It won't throw your speedo off by that much, it will be very close to stock, the 45 series will effect the speedometer and odometer readings. My wife has 18's with225/40/18 tire size. We lived in upstate NY so I know the bad road conditions. They were very tolerable with a decent all season tire and the HFP suspension. She has Falken 912 tires. They are quite comfortable. I was very surprised. If you do decide to lower the car a bit 1" should do a nice job of improving the wheel gap and not killing your ride comfort.

I drove around at almost a 2" drop and had no issues with snow or roads. I was snowplowing a bit when it got deep though. That paired with stiff struts and the ride was definitely harsh. If you are somewhere between our two cars I bet you wouldn't notice much difference.
