just got my 350z 18's how to drop

So i just threw on my 18" enthusiast wheels they look great but with a 30mm offset the fronts are out from the wheel well about 1/4 of an inch, i am wanting to mod my suspension and maybe throw in adrop but im affraid ill rub. anyone else run into this? did you have to roll out the fenders to get the clearance? Oh and are KONI's realy worth the $$$

1. I rub but with my new wheels it wont be a problem.....u only solution is rolling fenders or getting wheels with a larger offset....

2. KONI's are def worth the money...they murber KYB AGXs and Obliterate Illuminas

3. S-Techs SUCK....if u get tehm u def wil rib hardcore....go for a mild drop liek H&Rs and u MAY not rub....Eibachs u might be safe with too...I have Prgoress and I rub S-techs are lower and softer so u def will rub
