Thumbs up Ssr Comp 18" Setup On Tirerack - Will It Rub?

What are the offsets for the SSR Competition? Are they correct for the S2000?

Here is the setup I ordered. Can someone double check and let me know if this will work, and if there will be any rubbing?

- 18x8 SSR Competition Anthracite w/Mach Lip

- 18x9 SSR Competition Anthracite w/Mach Lip

- 245/35YR18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 Blackwall

- 225/40YR18 XLGoodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 Blackwall

Thanks in advance!

Paul

I'm running the same wheels with 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 and have no problems with rubbing but I'm not lowered.

Thanks, mhs and hybrid.

Hybrid, would you mind posting a pic of your setup? I would like to see what it look like not lowered. I would like to stay stock with the suspension if I can.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, hybrid and mhs.

Hybrid, would you mind posting a pic of your car. I would like to stay stock with the suspension as well, and would love to see what it looks like if I don't lower the car.

THanks.

will 265/35/18 cause any major problem?
I am considering about getting some bridgestone re55 for my 18" rims since the street tyres on these don't seem to last very long anyway

I had 265's and they rubbed, exchanged them for 255's and very rarely do they rub.
Go with the 255's!!!!!!!!!!!!!
