check it man, i say ur best bet is to run a stretched 235 and cut the inside of your rear wheel well inner lip OR roll the fenders and maybe run negative camber and throw a 245 under there. Im planning on running some aggressive wheels also.

So many s2k owners are very conservative so they FREAK when it comes to rolling the fenders. Be aggressive man

erichs.. yeah remember as your wheel compresses it will camber in naturally.. so drop means auto camber change

you shouldnt count on this. 100$ at local race shop for a GOOD alignment is your best friend.. hunter machines and autoliner are thebest imo

call hunter for a local aligner near you

if you carry fat chicks around all day and have the trunk full of anything heavy i do not suggest you get the wheels, because the above 3 cannot help you there.

I'll post pics of how close it is....With my fenders rolled it never rubbed my fender....but it DID rub the plastic from the bumper and where the innerfender and rear bumper are bolted together...I had to cut that out and roll that lip and then drill new holes for bumper/fender mount.
