Do you think Eibach Pro-Kit lowering spring has wider spring size compared to stock sport suspension? I plan to lower it just right but don't want to cause any more problem. Thanks man!
I don't have it myself, but looking at other peoples fitment on the forum its quite common to use 235/40/18 on 18x8.5" ET45 wheels with OE style spring such as pro-kit. If it works with 18x8.5 ET45 wheels, such as Apex, then it should also work with your 18x8.0" wheels. The fender clearance should be ok for 235/40/18 because of the Dinan camber plates on your car. Some people complain the 235/40/18 can rub on the inner fender liner when you use full steering lock, but I think that's more likely with low ride height and proper sport type tires.
