There's a closeout special on BBS RGRs @ TireRack! ($439 ea.)
I was planning on pairing them up w/ 255/40zr - 18's
Thanks!

These will be very aggressive on a stock height 2GS, but on a lowered one they won't look as aggressive. These aren't as aggressive as my front wheels, but my fenders are stretched and cut.
Part of whether or not they'll fit will come down to tire choice; some tires are more square-shouldered than others, which may cause issues when the wheels are turned entering/exiting steep driveways (the tire may catch the fender). Your overall diameter is the same as my 255/30-20; my guess is that you'll be okay, but I would remove the front fender arch trim as a precaution.
I'd run 'em!
BTW, The Tire Rack is going off of BBS fitment data in this case - they are notoriously conservative!

I sure hope 18x9's arent a problem for the fronts....lol. I have a set coming from D2Autosport soon as winter wheels. I'm going for maybe a 235 or 245 tire width max. I am also slammed on Tanabe coilovers to boot. This should be interesting. I trust Derricks judgement, it should be fine.

Thanks for the input fellas. As always, very informative.
After looking around I see that D2 Autosport is discounting their overstock. I got my eye on a set of the MRR H2's. $699 for a set of 18x9's SHIPPED!
