I'm planning on going with a set of Eibach's for my S2000. Right now I've got WORK S1's on the car. I am wondering if I'm going to have to roll my fenders or am I going to clear?

specs are:

front: 18x8 + 54 / 225/40/18
rear: 18x9.5 + 49 / 255/35/18

Any thoughts?

 

You should be fine with those offsets.

 

^ You sure the rears won't rub? 18x9.5 +49 with 255's

I'm not sure myself but I have a feeling the rears will rub.

 

If they rub, fix the issue.

What are your options anyway?
1.) Don't lower it.
2.) Lower it and then solve the issue if one arises.

Why even ask the question? I think that with a 1'' drop, it probably won't rub. But if you drive on some minefield style road, it may...it's not like people on here nessecarily know what types of roads you drive on/how you drive/other circumstances. Since you failed to mention or describe any of that...only you know.

 

The question is, will I be able to roll the fenders after installing the springs? Not every shop can roll fenders so I would have to drive on them for 40-50 miles before I can roll the fenders.

 

Take a picture from the back, lets see how much the rim sticks out

 

I'm gonna say probably. I've got a set of 17" RPF1's wrapped in a 255/40 in the rear and I have a set of Eibachs. I rolled my fenders and trimmed the bumper and rub just every once in a while.

Here's a pic.

 

enkeis are a bit more aggressive in terms of offset though

and when you roll fenders correctly, a shop will remove the wheels, and clamp on the fender roller to the hub...so it doesnt matter regardless if the springs are on

I am lowered on H&R springs. They only have a modest .75" drop in the back and a .6" drop in the front. I am on 18" TE37's with 225's front and 255's rear. I used to rub in the back and have recently had my fenders rolled and haven't had any issues in the rear yet. Up front though, I still get the occasional rub but the fronts aren't rolled. I'm not sure of the offsets because I bought the wheels from a forum member.
