Default SSR Type-C

I am looking at the SSR Type-C wheels for my 03 S2K. The size i was look at for the front is 17x7.5 +49 and rear 17x8.5 +58. I would be using a 215 tire in the front and a 255 or 265 tire in the rear. I am going to be putting on tein flex coilvers and lowering the car 1 inch front and rear. I am not sure if they are going to fit without rubbing howerever and was just wondering if you guys could help me out. Thanks

^215 and 245 tire widths would be more appropriate on that size wheel.

That is the default Tirerack recommendation since you have an AP1 and those are stock widths. I'd either do 215/45 or 225/45 front with a 255/40 rear.
