Default 18x9.5" 55 offset rear wheel on lowered S2k...will it rub?

looking for a quick reply if possible

I'm lowered on Skunk2 springs. Tire size on wheel is 265-35-18

Do you think I'm pushing it and going to have to roll the fenders?

Thanks guys

ill be moving to a 265 once the warm weather comes and ill be running a -3 in the rear and -2 up front with a 225... im lowered on bilsteins with a half finger gap and im rolled... ill prolly have to roll flush and relocate bumper tab but itll be worth it...

i am not sure on the offset because I bought the car as is from my friend. The car is lowered, how much I am not sure. I am going to trim/roll all the fenders some more because I want to get it a little lower. I will post some pics of the clearance/stance of the car.

Looks like you're trying to run my setup. I've got about a finger gap front and rear and I rub a little but it's only harsh bumps.

315's on a stock body so not going to work nevermind 345. Even if you did you'd probably have to run a negative 10 camber (exaggeration but probably still too little) which in turn would have the same contact patch as a 205 probably. At that point why bother?

345's are a joke obviously, 315's WILL WORK!!! I'm running a 275 right now, with plenty of room to spare on towards the inside of the car.

haha. That would be cool if you could fit those 345's under there. I think that tire I have there is 36in. high and 17in. wide.

I cant say their to bad....it was worse when I had my coilovers. I havent had stock suspension in probably 2 years or so so I cant really compare to that. A lot of people like the Skunk2's though its a real nice drop and its not to bad of a ride.
