Default what size rims will work?

Hey guys I am looking at getting new rims for my s2k. I do have neuspeed lowering springs which drop the car a 1 1/2. I have 18's on the car now and was woundering if I could go with 19's or will they rub. I have a little problem now when I go into a hard turn and the front drops fast a little rub happones but nothing to worry about. Just was wanting you guys suggestions and if any one has these springs on their car what size rims are you running?
Thanks

It would not neccesarily rub. It depends on the offset and width of the wheels and tires you choose. Changing the wheel size won't make the tires rub. The only difference in 18" and 19" is the wheels are larger.
If you keep the widths on the narrower side and the offsets high they would fit.

I understand if I go to a 19" rim that I would have to go to a smaller tire size. Now I am running a 40 series tire and I would probly have to go down to a 35 ro 30 series. What would be a good offset for the s2k. I would like to have a deeper dish on the rear with a staggered fitment. What would you recommend?
