i just bought some wheels for my s2k. i got them off of a friend of mine that has a 04 Si. and the rear wheels are not as wide as my stock ones by just a little bit. is that gonna cause a problem?

 

not unless you don't like traction at all

 

You should never go with wheels that are narrower than stock. I'm guessing (almost certain) that they also don't have any stagger. You can run em, but it probably isnt a good idea

 

^^^^^X2

The stock s2k wheels are staggered both ap1 and ap2. So why would you want to downgrade from stock?? I would sell them and get a decnt set that are actually staggered.

Civic wheels are no the way to go, and you do not have to run staggered wheels, especially if you want to track the car, run the same size all around. The wider the tire is on the front the better the car will turn in the corners......

 

give them back, arent they like 6.5 inches wide

Quite possibly the most deadly advice I've ever seen on HT.

That advice might make sense for a Civic, but not on an S2000.

I ran a non-staggered setup *once* with 225 R-comps on a race track, and the car tried to kill me for it. I'll *never* do that again with a stock suspension (or *ever*, really).

i dont know about that......Most or even all s2k time attack cars and track cars run Non-staggered setups......not 225 though mostly 255 all around......handles great, though they have Great Suspension setups and proper setup for it fenders, etc.

It makes perfect sense son do some research I've been tracking my car for 4 years with 255 RA1's all around.... And 225 is a tire for a civic.....

 

^You have the skill and experience to do it, most guys don't, especially the OP. To even consider such a narrow tire and rim combo all around is indicative of his level of expertise. Let's err on the side of caution.

stock ap1 rears are 225's.

stock civic tires are like 195's, right?

 

Running unstaggered sizes on the stock suspension is very dangerous.

The only guys I know who track their S2000 with even sizes had front spring rates above 500 lbs/in and front sway bars with at least double the stiffness of the stock bar.

Unstaggered sizes for the S2000 is should not be advised so casually. You really need to know what your doing to your suspension for this, and anyone seeking advice on Civic wheels on an S2000 doesn't need to know about going unstaggered.

The 225 rears are actually 245's
