need help, i cant stop rubbing
 
hello,
right now im riding on rs*r ti2000 springs and stock shocks. and on 18in volks. my dimensions are 18x7.5 50 offset front and 18x8 50 offset also. and my tires are 225x40 fand 255x35 r. i was told that these offsets are fine for my S. i rub over bumps and in turns like crazy. i got my fenders rolled and did my alinment, but i still rub. what can i do to solve and fix this problem. what i had in mind was to go with a different spring setup.and or changing my rears to 245. let me know what yall think. thanks

how much drop on the springs front and rear? and what kind of shocks are you running? I have RSR springs non-Ti and they drop 1.5 inches. I also have Koni shocks which can lower the car another 0.5" by setting on the lower perch. I have 17" volk Le28N's and don't rub (upper perch in the front, lower perch in the rear). The rear is tucked also, but i know the LE28's have better offsets than the 18" Volks.

255 on an 8" rim? Not advisable.

Yep, and I bet the joker that told you this does not either have this same set up or doesn't even drive an S2000. He was probably the same person that sold you the wheels.

You can either raise your car, get smaller wheels, get wheels with better offsets or, worse case scenario, all the above.

I would also say go with the 245/35R18 rear and that is all you can really do.
