Default 18" ultraleggaras

I'v changed my mind on which wheels to buy so many times now due to offset requirment. So here i go again. Im looking into buy ultra leggaras from the tire rack 18x8F and 18x9 up back. Does anybody else run the setup provided by tire rack I mean 225 and 245 with 48 and 55 offset without rubbing issues or sticking out(in other words inside tire well). No cambering or rolling? i'v herd great things about tim and tire rack but yea i might be lowering about 1" in the future and dont know if their setup would allow for that without cambering it in.

thx in advance

Same for me. Once the tax return comes in I'll pick up a set. in the recommended Tire Rack sizes with Eagle F1s as a decent 3 season tire.

Flat black 18" Ultraleggeras on a Black S2000? I think it will look good.

i had seriously rubbing issues on the fronts with my 18" Superleggeras, dropped on Tein springs. You should probably roll your fenders or run more camber.

you could pull out the whole fender liner in the front, then maybe pull out on the fender a bit, but imo, that will look a little too tacky. maybe theres a chance the front wheels can have some of the hub surface shaved off to raise the offset? anybody have any knowledge on that?
