Post would the following fit in general?

18x8 +35 all-around (225/50/18 F & 245/45/18 R)

would this flush/rub/etc?

i'm trading for an S soon, not sure if I should keep my old aftermarket rims. They are the FAST EUROPA model.

If it doesn't fit, I rather save the cost of swapping rims/tires when I trade.

I try to do a search, but I still cannot get a clear idea of it would fit or not, and I want a good opinion before I make the move.

Thanks in advance.

NO.

I just swapped smaller spacers on my wheels to get them to quit rubbing. My tire actually grabbed my fender & jacked it up.

I was running 17X8 +42, 225 tire in front. I even had -2 degrees of camber & rolled fenders.

BTW I have a 1" drop.

My guess is the wheels you have are not going to be hub centric on the S2K so you are going to have a vibration issue. With thea offset you are going to need to run more negative camber and maybe roll the fender lips as well. It will not be an easy fit.

Thanks for the input. So its really not worth my hassle. To make it will work just be $$$ and taking a chance that it won't work.

suprised nobody talked about the tires on there, DO NOT use 225/50/18 on an S it should be 225/40/18 in the front and 245/35/18 in the rear (if you were keeping the same width tires)

The wheels will fit.... with some fender modification+camber+215/40/18 tires in the front and some camber in the rear. This all is also dependent on your drop
