Ive found a set of wheels I like, but the only sizes even close to working on an S2k are 18x8.5 +42 Front and 9.5 +45 Rear. I know this is pretty agressive, and just looking for advice on what I would need to do for decent fitment without running a ton of camber. I have an eastwood fender roller and Id be willing to roll/push the fenders out as much as I have to, just wondering if that would be enough to run a 225/255 combo.

 

to get those tires you would need some camber, unless you can get a real serious roll/pull all around.

 

The rear should fit without much problem with a 255....not too sure about the fronts....but if you're ok with rolling them then they'll fit. (given you run a bit of camber)

 

you sure about that? I ran a 17x9.5 +44 with a slightly stretched 245 series tire on it and I still rubbed. I also have rolled fenders, shaved inner fender lining (rear bumper), relocated bumper tab, and -3.5

I see how you could come to that conclusion. I also forgot to mention that you are going to be running 18's which have many more options than 17's when it comes to sidewall sizes. You should be able to pull it off with a low profile 255 series tire. I would still roll the fenders and add some camber. Also, it depends on how low you are planning to go on the suspension. I would be more cautious about the front end. 18x8.5 +42 is a bit tricky to fit under the front fenders without some camber and a slight pull.

 

I ran 9.5+41 with a 245 with no rubbing problems whatsoever, i could of ran a 255 and also not rubbed if i wanted to.

u need to lower ur car a good amount though so it doesnt look funny, do a slight pull on the front fenders ( 5mm will work) and for the rear, roll the inner lip flat and pull them out just a tad (dont do it too much or else the rear quarter panel will dent in) relocate bumper tab + trim bumper + some negative camber and you will be fine

 

can you pull the fenders with the Eastwood roller?

Also, can't you just cut the inner lip?

 

yes you can pull the fenders with the eastwood roller.

you can cut the inner lip but on all 3 of my cars i just rolled the lips flat

 

k cool....my rear lips are rolled in a bit so I was just thinking about cutting them, and pulling the rears a bit...and also cutting and pulling the fronts.
