this setup. I am getting the H&R Sports installed and I have Kahn RSS 18x8 wrapped in Kumho MXs. Does anyone know if this setup will rub? How do kumhos width compare to an S-03? obviously s-03s are notoriously wide and will rub with sport springs but does anyone know about the kumhos?

Default thanks. they are on sale @ tirerack. basically save me $400 on tires vs S-03s.

They only last a summer anyways. and everytime I get s03s, inevitably one of them gets a bubble

Default I have Kuhmo Ecstas Supra 712's for over a year and I love em. Excellent grip in dry or wet...

very nice for the price as well. but i'm moving on to BF Goodrich. I'm also running 235/40/18's as well...no problems

Might be close. The Kahns are ET33 so that doesn't help either.

Default They do? No problems here...kinda loud, but that was after I tracked the hell out of them.

They were fine before and have gotten good life so far out of them. And sorry FatBoy I'm running 225's with H&R Sports. Though with a fender rolling in the front you should be fine...I think. Try it...
