if you're looking to lower it on coils, i suggest you get 17s and not 18s..im not exactly sure how how much you can lower the 18s without rubbing.. 17s for both wheel do have *perfect* offset for the s2k though..
Can someone comment on this? I do intend to use coilovers. Will I have a problem with the 18's?

^ yes you will. first if your going to lower more than an inch (or even just one inch) u need to roll your fenders and/or get smaller tire widths like a 215 front 245 in the rear. that should eliminate any chance of rubbing.

also, getting a more rounded sidewall tire would help.

here's my opinion...

if you're gonna dump the car, 17" looks perfect.
if you're gonna drop w/ springs, 18" looks good.

I'm only planning to lower about an 1" to 1"1/4. I want to use the coilovers because of the adjustable ride height, and just better overall handling then just swapping springs
