Default This will RUB right

Thinking about purchasing the WORK Emotions that Evasive is selling in the GB section, but isn't the offset a little off for the S2K. Did a search and noticed there are quite a few people rubbing with an offset of 47 all around, so wouldn't the +42 in the front cause more rubbing?
Any input would help.

THANKS

Maybe one of the guys like JsAp1 knows for sure but that sounds like a receipe for rubbing to me. A friend has +48 with a 215 tire and they don't rub, but he isn't dropped. They are right at the fender.

thats what i was thinking because people are rubbing with 47 all around, so 42 should rub for sure. Evasive states it will be okay with 215 in the fronts, but thats pretty much BS if you are lowered right?

No.... actually a 215 front should be ok.

I run a 18x7.5 +40 225(r componds which tend to be even wider) I'm lowered about an 1-1.25" on KW and I don't rub up front except on hard cornering. A 215 should make the rubbing a non-issue. But it's not easy to get 215's on an 18"

I have the 17x7 17x8 +47 all around the rear rubs with 245 SO3s squeezed on them when you hit a hard dip or bump in the road. The fronts I run 215 SO3s on and they have no problems at all but I am not lowered. The front would work lowered anyway but I would have to flare my fenders.

Dropped? Rolled fenders? Coilovers?
