Default STI wheel sizes on an S2k!

Hey guys, I came from an STI recently and picked up a fresh clean S2000 that I plan to piece together once it gets a little warmer since I don't have a garage. I have GT Motoring +30 mm fenders and ASM rear over-fenders on their way. I have a set of bronze TE37's from my STI that I am trying to possibly fit so I don't have to sell my wheels.

They are 9.5" +22 all around (Subaru 4x4 FTW ), and I want to run at least 255's. I have heard the 30 mm front fenders have cleared 18x10+35 with 285's so I imagine I could fit them with 265's on there, but I am worried about the rear. I don't think they will fit with that tire size. Although I have seen a member on here named Alex that runs an 18x9.5 +18 with a 265x35 on stock fenders, but he's running -5 camber in the rear, and that's just silly.


Tell me I can do it, please tell me I'm wrong.

You also have to take care of the center bore. The S2k and the Subaru are different. With the etra room at the fenders the wheel and tire should fit. Unfortunately I can't tell you how much room you are going to have once you modify the car. With the 18X10 you are going to need the 285 width.
If I can help let me know.

Thanks. I appreciate it. I do realize about the bore differences and was planning on fixing that. I just wanted to know if 9.5" +22's could fit all the way around with 265/35's, and how much camber it require to fit those. So you're saying you think they will? I'm kinda nervous about how much camber the rear is going to require. I don't want to run anything beyond -3.5 or much more.
