That depends on the offset and width of the wheels. Also you don't really want to be running 225's all round

I run 17x9 et42 and needed a roll in the rear and the front is a real push. I would think if it was a 8" wheel you will be ok though

That is a terrible size for the rear, pass. Minimum rear width I would consider running is 8.5".

Agreed, especially since they are 18's. Higher tire cost, less performance over stock width wheels and looks terrible.

I mean if they are free take them sell them and buy wider wheels. If they aren't free pass and buy wheels that are the right width.

Definitely pass its worth it in the long run to purchase some more expensive wheels made to fit the s2k. Not only will they look night and day better they will perform night and day also.
