No you didnt give the same advice. The wheels will stick further out, not in. Higher the offset the more the wheel will tuck in.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This statement is incorrect, the rims will stick out more. FYI

 

Ok. Just for the purpose of ending this discussion I must say the following:

1. After reviewing the fitting page, I have to admit that I used the incorrect OEM offset. It is +55 on the front and +65 on the rear, not +45 and +50. So, my facts were wrong.

2. After going back to the calculation page I suggested and using the correct numbers, the wheel and tire package should:
in the front, stick out about 8mm more than OEM and they leave even more suspension space; and
in the rear, stick out about 12mm more than OEM and they leave even more suspension space.

That is basically due to the 10mm difference in offset that I incorrectly used.

I guess I will

 

Suspension clearance is generally not the issue with S2K fitment. the problem is generally fender clearance, you'd have to go to very wide, very high offset custom wheels before you'd have to start worrying about suspension rubbing. You can generally gain about 10mm of clearance by rolling your fenders and close to another 10mm by maxing out your negative camber adjustment. Keep in mind that the way the suspension geometry works is that on suspension compression, the negative camber increases causing more 'tuck'. all of this can be combined to run wheels with lower offsets than the factory +55F +65R , but if you go too low (offset or suspension), you will still rub.
Hope that helps clear things up.

CaptainMike that is superb!
I made the low offset mistake on a previous S
I don't want to roll the fenders and I'm not keen on more tha ~2 degrees rear camber so it looks like these are out

 

I don't really think you'll rub with those wheels/tires- there is a good bit of clearance with the stock sizes, you are only putting the wheel faces 8mm and 12mm further out (respectively) that is not very far at all.

I know there are people running lower offsets than those at stock height without rubbing, hopefully some can chime in with their drops and rubbage. As far as available S2K wheel sizes go those are better than average.
