Default Need help and suggestion on tires please

Hi, I'm running Front 225/40/18 and Rear 245/40/18. I'm a new s2k owner and the previous owner had this setup. Ugh! I hate it because it's rubbing like crazy! I'd like to keep the 18" inch rims because they look nice, but at the same time I want to revert back to 17". I took the s2k to get the fenders rolled today in hopes of curing my situation, but he told me he doesn't even know if he could clear it because the tires are just way too big. Soooo... now I'm debating on what to do. The car has been lowered. Should I raise it back to stock height? Just go with the fenders getting rolled? Get new tires? If so, recommendations on tires (brand + size)? Any other options? Your recommendations and opinions are much appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

Your rear tires are nearly an inch too big in diameter. 245/35-18 or even 255/35-18 would fit better.

What are your offsets?

If you need help with the tires let me know.. Depending on the offset the 245/35R18 or 255/35R18 should fit without rubbing. They are also going to get your speedometer and odomoter back to OE.

Hmm... I'm probably going to revert back to stock tires and sell the rims and tires. Thanks to both of you for helping.
