H-Sport Springs and S-Lites?

Will the OEM S-Lites and Goodyear RS-A runflats work with H-Sport Springs without any rubbing issues? How about with Kosei K1's and 215/40-17 Kumho MX's? I have the S-lites for winter and the Kosei's for summer. Can anyone help me out?

I had S-lites and have H-sports. no problem. looks super clean also. Ride is a bit rougher. but its worth it for the handling.

You'll definitely be fine with the S-Lites, and once you switch over to the Kosei's, as long as you stay with a 40 sidewall, you should be fine. You could always email Alex and ask him...

My H-sports are fine with my stock S lights and 205 runflats, but they rub a good amount with my Kosie K1 and yokos 215-45-17.

Yea, the offset is the issue. The Kosei's I had with a 40mm offset and 205 section Goodyears rubbed.
