Default TRM c3's

Picked up a set of TRM C3's today for a good deal. I'm questioning the front fitment though.

They are 17x9 +48's with 255/40 RS3's. I'm at stock ride height, max camber in the front, -2 deg rear. Although I plan to lower it with a set of Ankeny's or similar later this year.. (shooting for 12.5" to 12.75" from wheel center to fender lip)

If I'm correct, STR allows rolled fenders, not flared or pulled.

Can I clear these?

At stock height you should be fine, but when you lower it, you might run into some clearance issues.

The STR wheel has a 62mm offset. I would say they are going to rub probably front and rear depending on whether the fenders lips are rolled or not. More negative camber is going to be needed as well.

I think he bought the NC Miata fitment which is the +48.

Jim is correct, the normal offset for the s2000 in this wheels is a +62

I'm going to try and trade them off if possible. They look pretty goofy on the car.

I've installed them on one side to see how bad they poke and they will definitely rub if the conditions are right. I'm not lowered, so I might try using a steep driveway to see how far they could come into the fender before stopping.

Tempted to run these for the next autocross. (after all, that's all I bought them for) The lot has one dip that concerns me, if they have a low speed transition over it, that may ease my mind enough to run them after I test out my theory above..
