hello,
i found some wheels on ebay that i really like for my s2k and also very cheap. but im not sure they will fit. here is the link. any help is much appreciated.

They will easily fit cause they are only 8" wide.

You will need a slight roll/bumper tab relocate in the back if you plan to run anything bigger than a 235 tire and your car is lowered.

You will need a roll in the front along with a fender liner trim if you plan to run anything bigger than a 215 in the front and your car is lowered.

 

thanks. so if im at stock height than i should b good?

 

True. It will be basically like running a 17x9 +45 all around. It will be about 2mm less aggressive. Sooo like a 17x9 +47.

 

midwesta = im going to be running 17x9 +35 all around how do u think that will work?

 

What size tire? What suspension (spring rates) and how low? Whats the purpose of the car and how do you want it aligned. (ie do you care about handling and tire wear or do you just want it to fit?)

 

Yo Midwesta, where did you get your car aligned? GT Motoring is going to be roling my fenders as soon as it gets nice out but im going to have to get it aligned...sadly a lot of places around my house can't align car that are dropped.....

 

tyre size is if i recall 225/40/17 or 235/40/17 falken fk452

i just want it to fit lowest possible ride height.

 

They are nice looking wheels. Staggered set up would been better tho.

 

For a novice driver, I recommend a staggered setup. You realize you are better off traction wise, with stock wheels?

 

I can most likely have it aligned at the same time you have the fenders rolled, it will be $75 extra.

 

225 will make it easier all around... but even then you will need to roll front and rear fenders and relocate the rear bumper tab and trim the front fender liners. Especially if you want it low. You will also need to run some camber but not a crazy amount since a 225 and a 235 is slightly stretched onto a 9" rim.

 

Cool, ill be heading over there once my wheels come in this month. Do you work there?

 

How do you know he's a novice!!! :p
yea cause snap oversteer is a b*tch.
Also I think it is recommended to have 30mm of tread width between the front and back tires on the s2k. But I'd imagine this pertains more to an ap1 because of no bumpsteer kit

 

come to find out the tires were 245/40/17. =(

 

Yessir

 

you can probably still make that work, but it will need a lot of fender work...

 

Here it is as of today. no fender work done to it yet. Going to do that maybe this week end.

 

What suspension are you on? Has it rubbed?

 

currently on ksports

ya it currently rubs in the rear when the weight transfers to the rear. (hard turns or bumps in the road, or going up a parking structure)

 

The irony is that your license plate says "grp hard". Maybe change it to "prk hard"?

Get the camber adjusted. It seems like the front is almost positive. But maybe that's just the way it looks.

 

haha yes the irony. I have RCE-POT and HRD-PKR on order. LOL

Yes camber adjustment is on its way soon.

 

did you crush/cut out the rear fender lip? Or relocate the bumper tab?

Is your car a 00-01 with an ap2 front end? It's totally unrelated, I'm just curious.

 

no fender work at all has been done to the rears yet. I'm probably going to get the whole quarter panel massaged out similar to yours. Relocation if the bumper tab hasn't been done yet.

na not converted, its a 05 ap2. It was actually one of the old workers at Berk Technologies.

Why do u ask?

 

My quarter panel isn't pushed out at all. I just crushed the rear fender lip and moved the bumper bolt. That will help out a lot of your scraping. But mine are 17x9 +45.

I was just curious because it looked like a plastic rear window. The rear window looks huge.
