Default fitment question

hey jim or anyone that could help, just had a quick question about fitment.

my s2000 is lowered 1" inch with eibach springs.

the set up i want to run is..

wheels:
front: 18x8 offset 45
rear: 18x9 offset 52

and the tires i wanted were the bfg t/a kdw 2's
front: 225/40/18
rear: 255/35/18

are those the right sizes for tires and everything to fit without rubbing or having to roll fenders?

thanks for any help..

Hey EPM04,
I have those tires now on my s2000 and love them. My wheel offsets are a little diferent though. Check out my thread Kazera wheels.

I think that you will rub in the back. But only just barely. I went with a 215/35/18 in the front because I was worried about rubbing. My wheels are +55 back and +50 front. My back wheels just clear, so you will be really close. Add a little neg camber or roll the fender a little and you should be fine.

I am not 100% sure about the fronts fitment, and don't want to give you any bad info. I'm pretty sure someone else will be able to give you a firm answer though.

Best regards,

I would say stay narrow with the tires. With those width and offsets you may need to roll the fender or run more negative camber.
