Quick question. Ap2 stock wheels front 17x7 +55 and rears 17x8.5 +65?.. with 215/405/17 fr and 245/40/17 r ..

The Work s1 are 17x7+43 fr and 17x8+45 r ... The search shows some people use stock setup (tires) with these offsets or close to it with maybe some minor rubbing issues with aggressive drops..

I'm dropped with esplir springs 1" or. 75 can't recall but was wondering how much rubb would i actually be getting using stock tire setup? I'm trying to avoid having to do any mods to the fenders with that said i came up with 3 options and wasnt sure which would least likely change the characteristics of the S and not have to do fender mod ..

1. stock ap2 tire combo
2. 215/45/17 fr 235/40/17 r
3. 205/45/17 fr 235/40/17 r
4. 205/45/17 fr 245/40/17 r

Keep in mind i would like to avoid any kind of fender mod at the moment. I don't track my S but would not like to loose its handling characteristics that its known for.. Would be great to hear from anyone with similar setup either track or daily..

thanks

 

I would recommend to run stock AP2 tire combo(215/245) and add just slight negative camber(don't have to be much at all), and you will be just fine.

 

Thank you.. for those that are interested i went with the suggested stock tire sizes ..

verdict with ESPLIR springs daily use you'll be fine with 17x7 +43 (215/45/17 ) fronts stock alignment, but if aggressive at turns or going 50+mph and run into a nice dip on the road youll rub alittle in the front other then that you should be fine. With alittle negative camber in front you might not rub at all. just thought i give an update
