i'm interested in picking up a set of wheels for my 02' s2000. but i'm not too sure if the wheels will fit on my car.

the dimension on the wheels are 17x8 +45, 17x9 +45.

will wheels with these dimensions fit on my s2000?!?!?

also, if they do fit, will it rub?

 

if you're lowered, you might rub

 

the front should be ok.. but the rears will rub if you're lowered.... but then again you could roll your fenders and you should be ok.... just make sure you get the right sized tires....

 

can anyone else shed some knowledge/opinions on the wheel fitment?

do you think by rolling the fenders on the rear, the wheels would fit fine?

 

what suspension do you have?

 

i have full coilovers made by H&R.

 

how much did that lower your car? if its more than 1 inch, you will rub

 

not a high enough off-sedt for rear being 9 inches it WILL stick out my 8 inch rears are +45 and they are right to the edge.

donnie

 

You will rub with that 9 in the rear.

 

ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THE OFFSET IN THE REAR...... SOUNDS KINDA OFF ?!?!?!?

 

I thought the amuse S2K ran a +45 offset rear.

hmmmmm *searches*

 

IT DOES - 17X9 WITH A +45 OFFSET ?

 

Damn YOU!!!!! I've been searching since my last post for that. Take long enough


Also, they run the same size rims/ tires on all 4 corners

 

Acutally, according to the newest S2000 Hyper Rev Volume 97 No. 3, The Power House Amuse car runs Volk Racing CE28n 17x9 +63 front and 17x9 +40 rear. Along with Bridgestone Potenza RE01R 255/40-17 front and rear. To me, those offsets sound backwards, but what do I know.

 

Opera performance runs Enkie RPF1 17x9 +45 with Yokohama AO48 235/45-17 on all four corners. Thheir car is pretty low with no visible gap. No word as to fender rolling or rubbing issues though.

 

like i've said in my previous posts... if you roll your fenders you will be fine with a 255 tire....

 

oh and if you do happen to rub depending on your degree of drop and camber and toe and yada yada... it'll be very slight and only on really harsh bumps...

 

for all the trouble you will have, i'd look for some other wheels. roll fenders, worry about bumps, alignment. it might turn into a real PITA

Not true I have 255's, rolled fenders, -2 camber and full coilovers and I still rub a bit on large bumps at high speeds. Bad offset is bad offset.

i have seen this rubbing

 

humm then go with a 245... very low profile..

 

Nah, I might just go 17's in the summer.

 

how long did it take you to roll your fenders?? i'm getting mine done during mod day down in va beach...

 

Well since it was my first time, me and my tech buddy did it in about hour and a half once we got the rolling machine on the hub. BTW use a heat gun.

 

i'm not doing it hehehe. some other guys are doing it for me... hehehe.. supposidly someone bought the roller thing... and there going to be doing a few cars before i roll down there... you migh twant to tell "poindexter" on s2ki about the heat gun....
