Tire Rack specs the section widths and tread widths to be almost identical as the stock Bridgestone RFT's, but I wonder whether the Yoko's will run with your suggested 18mm front and 10mm rear spacers.

The poster with the Dunlop Direzza's indicated he rubbed, but his tires were 225F and 255R.....which are about 1/4 inch or 5-6mm wider.

Any experience from customers with the Yokohama's on this setup?
We unfortunately have not tried these out with the S. Drive tires. However, I do know those tires, and am fairly certain that you will have no rubbing issues as you retained your oem sizing.

We do have other size spacers. You could do a 15mm up front and 10mm out back. Please give me a call if you would like to order. Thanks!
