im almost ready to buy some rims for the S and wondering if 18x8.5 all around with either an offset of +30 and +25 would fit? and my other option is 17x9 with an offset of +30

if you guys could get back to me that would be great!

 

None of your choices will fit properly without rolling your fenders, trimming and tucking bumper tabs, and a lot of camber. I'm running 17X8 +45 and 17X9 +45 and it is a fairly aggresive setup for the S2000 even with rolling the fenders, trimming bumper tabs and adding camber.

 

anyone know what offset these wheels are?

 

I hope you put some fat *** tires in the rear.

 

Are you lowered?

 

yeah im lowered on some h&r springs

 

gotcha. +1 on most the info above then. I read a thread where someone was able to fit similar stuff a while ago just by raising the rear a bit but that was a while ago.

 

Goodluck. You're looking at more what the guy said above.. Along with that prob a pull as well. I'd look for more s2000 friendly figments. Even the enkei rpf1 which is a very popular rim for s2ks require fender mods. The offsets on those are +48 front or +45 depending on width and +45 in the rear. If you're lowered you're lookng at a fender roll, front and rear, rear bumper tab relcation and trimming the rear bumper.

You need to research all of this..

 

17x9+44 all around

 

alright thanks a lot guys for the info!

 

so i decided to go with 17x9 +42 rota dpt will 235 40 17 be a good size tire for this size?

 

What is the most aggressive setup for an s2k lowered on tein or espelirs?
For 17 " and 18" staggered... Without rolling fenders n relocating anything?

 

Here you go hope this helps, got this from another site.

Use this as a guide so you don't end up with rims that will require fender rolling or having to make severe alignment changes:

For the front:
Offsets lower than +43 are not recommended on the front because a very narrow tire would need to be used to avoid rubbing.
+43 to +47 offset: 205 tires, 6.5" - 7.5" wide wheel
+48 to +52 offset: 215 tires, 7.0" - 8.0" wide wheel
+53 to +57 offset: 225 tires, 7.0" - 8.0" wide wheel
+58 to +62 offset: 235 tires, 7.5" - 8.5" wide wheel
+63 or higher offset: 245 tires, 7.5" - 8.5" wide wheel

For the rear:
Offsets below 40 are not recommended for the rear because a tire narrower than the stock tire would need to be used to avoid rubbing.
+40 to +44 offset: 235 tires, 7.5" - 8.5" wide wheel
+45 to +49 offset: 245 tires, 7.5" - 9.0" wide wheel
+50 to +54 offset: 255 tires, 8.0" - 9.5" wide wheel
+55 to +59 offset: 265 tires, 8.5" - 9.5" wide wheel
+60 to +64 offset: 275 tires, 9.0" - 10.0" wide wheel
+65 or higher offset: 285 tires, 9.0" - 10.0" wide wheel

 

Go with a 245 or better. I had 18X9s w/ 245s on the front of my lexus and it was a little too stretched for myself. The 18X9.5 w/ 275 in the rear was a much better fit in my opinion.

 

so a 245 40 17? would that work all around?

 

after all this time people are still asking about offsets?

 

if your going all motor like me i'd go with the same size as the AP2 rims are. I think anything bigger then that is over kill. The car was designed to be all motor so they estimated that would be best fit.

the OEM MY00-03 (AP1) wheel sizes and offsets are as follows:

Front:
16" x 6.5", +55 offset, 205 tire
Rear:
16" x 7.5", +65 offset, 225 tire

and the OEM MY04+ (AP2) wheels (including MY06) are as follows:

Front:
17" x 7.0", +55 offset, 215 tire
Rear:
17" x 8.5", +65 offset, 245 tire

 

What does the car being all-motor have anything to do with the offsets? lulz.

 

i think they were talking about the tire width

 

It can be done. This is usaully a race setup and it needs quite a bit of fender rolling and pulling in the front. For a daily street car I wouldn't recomend it. If I were you I would stay staggered. 17x8/17x9 +45 all around is a common setup that only needs a slight roll in the rear. Good luck finding someone to properly roll your fenders in eastern washington lol.

 

im running 18x7.5 with 235 40 18 all around. all 4 scrapes, even on the highway. i think you should run 205s or 215s. tire stretch them, should fit better then the 235s if you dont want to scrape. plus youll look like a drifter! wish i did that first

almost forgot. im lowered on skunk2 springs. fronts 2.00 drop. rears 1.4

 

Hello everyone I have a 00 ek hatch and I am looking to buy some agressive rims the rim spec I am considering is 16x8 +20 offset. Would I have a lot of camber with that set up ... Due to I am still going to use the car as a commuter I don't want to camber to much ... Please help

 

Nice first post!

 

check the date of op, think he cares or still has the car anymore?
