slammed....how big can i go?

if im dropped about 3 inches in the rear with c/o's right now, could i still fit 18x9s? i have 18x8s in there no problem right now but that extra inch might make a big difference.

18x9's should fit on the rear (depending on offset) - but I would not try it on the front.

3 inches??? damn dude... you wont even be able to slide a jack under your car to lift it lol
and i doubt that you will be able to use 18s with 3 inch drop

You'll probably need spacers, rolled fenders and small tires. Why do you want 18x9?

Why are you dropping the car? For performance or for looks?

Just wondering!

It really depends on the offset.

I ran 19X9.5 in the rear but I also had adjustable arms and was running negative camber.

Keep in mind he said "If im dropped 3 inches" 3 inches thats a low car for 18's he would be scraping the fenders

Not if he runs stretched tires.

I have low competition on af?! It'll depend on the offset and tire size if they'll fit easily or not. You'll likely need to roll the fenders/liners. Pictures?
