Default Rims & Springs

Hi guys
Just ordered a set of 4 Vertini Magic concave rims 19x9.5 +35 offset with Pirelli P+Zero Nero tyres 225/35/19, going for that aggressive look. Also got a set of 4 Pedders 30mm lowering springs.
They're to fit my stock 2011 WRX sedan, travelled about 11,000k from new.
The wheel dealer has said to keep the original struts with the new lowered springs & the fitting of rims & everything will be no probs with no scraping or rubbing to worry about.
Just wondering what you guys think about the set up??? Would you recommend it??? Also what's your opinion on keeping the factory struts or going Koni/Bilstein ect.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Default Rims

Thanks for your great advice, I thought 225/35s would be to small, the only concern with the 235s or 245/35s I had were clearance issues... Tech9 have said they will roll the guards if needed for free when fitting so that part of it should be ok.
I was looking at STD coil overs from Mao also but went with the springs because everywhere I looked said a quality spring/ strut setup +whiteline camber bolts on the rear will give a better, less harsh ride, & as I don't go to the track much I thought maybe coil overs might be a bit noisier & too hard for the wife...
What do you think?
Btw...Yep there the bad boys...

i wouldnt really call pedders a 'quality' spring, but yes a spring change may give a better ride than coil overs, but with the size of wheel you have chosen, you may not have enough movement on a standard strut/spring setup to make them fit

I thought the same thing but according to the guys at Tech9 Pedders springs have thicker steel than Kings springs & therefore are less prone to sagging.

Kym has 18 x 9.5 +35, OP has ordered 19 x 9.5 +35.
I do agree that it is going to a close fit, rolling will most likely be a requirement.
