Hi I'm looking at a set of rims for sale and just wondering if they will work for my s2 stock fenders.

18x7.5" ET+30
18x9" ET+40

Considering 225/255 tires. Which option on the front is better? Stock height and fender. Thanks!

8" +53. The outer clearance is almost the same and the extra wheel width/tire stretch will help clear the fenders. In general, I think a 8" wheel is a better fit for a 225 tire anyway.

Looking at a set of Spoon CR93s

Front : 17x8.5 +53 with 245-40-17 tires

Rear : 17x9.5 + 63 with 255-40-17 tires

These will rub on a stock (AP1) set up right? I'd probably have to take the fronts down to 225?

225/255 would look and sit real nice. I don't think you would have problem with 245s with rolled fenders.

Yeah the 245's would likely need the fronts rolled.

Thanks for the insight guys. One more quick setup questions.

How about :

WedsSport TC105N Fronts are 17x8+42 245/40/17, rears are 17x9+35 255/40/17?

Fronts will definitely rub, and rears might line up right?

^What he said. There is no way that those don't need all the fenders rolled and tabs relocated. Personally I would run 225/45/17 on the front on the 8 inch wide wheel but thats just me.
