265/35-20 F, 325/30-20 R on a Turbo S discussion

Three Wheelin'
That probably would solve it. I'm still puzzled why the car can rock that far, and those springs should make it stiffer, not softer. May be an issue with the spring install??? I know they are different cars, but I cannot fit my fingertips between my rear tires and the wheel well and they still never rub.

Hey guys - bringing this thread back.... I'm wanting to purchase a set of BBS FI-Rs in 20" sizes and they're 20 x 9 et52 in the front and 20 x 12 et44 in the rear. Would these paired with Mich PSC2s clear if they're running 265/35/20 N2 Fronts and 325/30/20 M0 Rears? I'm not sure if these wheel offsets are workable with my car since it's currently lowered with H&R springs. I do have additional negative camber in the front and rear because of a "track" alignment so with my current setup of OE 20" wheels with 245/35/20/305/30/20 Mich PS4Ss, they sit great. But I would like something that gives a little more width for track use but without rubbing.
Please advise and thanks in advance!

I got an answer to my own question having taken the leap... I ended up going with the BBS FIRs front and rear but in the rear I went with the 20x 11.5" ET54 wheel vs a 12" wide wheel married to a 325/30/20 Mich PSC2 tire with my lowering springs... With my camber settings what they are I just barely clear but I do clear and have tested this at Road Atlanta this past weekend. The tolerances are tight, like really tight, maybe 1/4-1/2" of clearance at the outer edge of the tire when tucked so I'm thinking if the car has factory camber then there's the potential for some rubbing. Car looks and rides great with the new wheels and tire combo and on the track the car feels great.
