You can't ask that question until you decide what tire size you want.

Not sure. My old S2K had rolling (not widing, just rolling the flat part of the fender) and fitted the 255 with 9,5ET50 !

you can run a 225/40-18 in the front with an 8" @ +50 and a 255/35-18 out back with the 9' @ +50.


I am currently running a 225/40-18 on an 18x8 @+45 up front and a 255/35-18 on an 18x9.5 @ +55 out back with NO RUBBING. Now keep in mind this is at factory ride height. \/\/








18x8 +45 (225/40-18)
18x9.5 +55 (255/35-18)


NO RUBBING, however coilover's arrive wed, and appointment for fender rolling has been scheduled because anything other than stock height will mostly likely rub.
