Damn, I just bought 18" Volk GTU's in 18x7.5 front and 18x8 rear. The offset is also +50 all around, so now I'm thinkng I'm gonna have major rubbing problems. I also just bought a set of Espelir's, so I know my drop is gonna be in the 1.5 range. Is there a good tire size combo I can go with? Or would I be better of selling the springs for a set that dont lower the car as much?

- I wouldn't be worried at all, just run skinny tires... 215s in the front... you can even go with 255s on the back (still wide).. im 8.5 on the rear with 245s, but 17s...

Would 215/35 front and 245/40 rear in 18" work?

I've seen pics of your car dropped really low - I am glad to hear that the narrower tire configuration does in fact work with the S. Do you have any rubbing issues and what is your drop at now?
