Default New Wheels - will this work with the S

Hey guys, I'm looking to purchase some used rims, here are the specs 18x8.5 offset +47 for the front, 18x9.5 offset +42 for the rear. Can anyone tell me if I would have any issues running them with Tein S techs?

You will def. rub w.o. any fender rolling or drastic camber adjustments.

yeah youre going to rub.

You will need to roll your fenders and throw some camber at it.

That rear will not work. It will stick out a good bit and rub horribly. I once had 9.5 with a +48 offsetand stock ride height- it was a nightmare. I never even dreamt of lowering it with those offsets. The offsets you mention will make you miserable. Save yourself the time and trouble and just stay away from those.
