Exclamation Tire rubbing

I need some help i just got mu s2k about 3 months ago and have begun modifications including Header test pipes invidia cat back aem cold air intake torque dampiner lowering springs and 18 inch oz ultegras. After instaling my wheels i have now had rubbing in my front outer fender wells. I belive this is because of the combonation of 18''s and my tein lowering springs. What can i do what are my options and i would like it if i didnt have to drop two grand on coilovers to get a more agressive stance.Thanks.

time to start investigating fender rolling. I also hope you invested in getting an alignment after you lowered the car.

Options:
1. Fender roller
2. Different wheels with a different offset
3. Adjustable coilovers
4. Go back to stock.

I know for a FACT that the last year of production of the S2000 is 2003!!!!!
After that, it will be the S2200 under an assumed name.

Lower profile tires are another option. But keep in mind that changing tire sizes will affect your speedometer's accuracy.

Here's a helpful tool to determine how far off your speedo will be. Tire size calculator
