Default Can I make em work?

I bought a set of works that well...don't work with the s2k as is lol.

They are work rezax 18"....
Front offset is + 39mm on an 8.5" wheel 235/40's currently rub
Rear is +45mm on a 9.5" wheel 275/35's currently rub

I am pretty much slammed on skunk 2's....Rear quarters are rolled, that wasn't the problem...but my rear bumper almost ripped off when I reversed down my driveway after I threw em on lol.

Now, is there a tire combo that will allow me to run these wheels? If so please let me kno which tires and sizes will work! Thanks!

for views:

niceee and prettyyy

yea they will work but your gonna have to trim the bumper tabs and relocate the screw towards the back more....
is it a true 275????? if it was i dont see it working with that even with the 35

personally i would just take it down on the tire size and you'll be set

yeH the bumper almost ripped off when i backed down my driveway lol
As for the rear quarters......they are already rolled, and i tried compressing the suspension by leaning on the car and it seemed to clear...just barely but it did.....

I guess I'll just re locate the bumper tab and try em out as is.....because for the amount I paid I would love to run them as is......
But the front's sounded like they were rubbing also, anything I can do up front? I know silentdancer rolled his front OEM fenders, but he never mentioned if the plastic fender liner re attached after doing so?

I'm running -2.9 in the rear.....and -1 in the front

I kno I need narrower tires, i was just asking what is the largest size I can go? And on what brand? I know azenis and some bfg's run wide for their size, don't wanna make the mistake of ordering another set of tires that don't fit!

lol alright....I'm at work now, but I guess I'll just relocate the bumper mounting screws and see if they rub anywhere else, then go get some more neg camber on the front......

Just go with basic stock sizes. You're rolled in the rear, so that plus camber you shouldn't have too much problems.

Don't even disconnect the pop fit tabs?
I'm going to try and fit them with the current front tires, because they are literally brand spankin new.....and now that my summer job is ending, I;m really going to be strapped for cash and would like to just buy two new tires (rears) if can get away with it
