I'm waiting for 18" SSR Comps. The fronts (8") are back ordered and when I last checked, they were expected in late December.

Hello Jim?

I had also heard that these are offered with better offsets for the S in the UK? What are the chances of us getting the wheels in 17 with correct offsets?

Where in the world did you hear that?

My 18's come with 48 front (8") and 55 rear (9"). What's wrong with those offsets?

I heard it on this forum that the SSR's do not have the Ideal offsets. Do you have any rubbing issues? Are you lowered. Don't get me wrong, I love the wheels and Don't plan on lowering the car more than a 1/2 inch. But I want a car that handles as well if not better and no rubbing.

I said above that I'm waiting for the wheels because the fronts are back-ordered.

I talked to Jim at Tire Rack about this setup and he okayed my proposed setup, except I cannot go wider than 255 on the rears. That means I can't use the Potenza RE-750 I wanted, but have to run the S-03's.

I don't plan on lowering my roadster.
