Hey i just ordered a set of 19*8 +49 offset, and 19*9.5 +55 offset for my 2000 S2000. Is this the correct offset? This is what tirerack reccomended to me

 

yes thats what tirerack sells they will work.. however if you are dropped you might rub... might be wise to roll your fenders for a little more clearance... and you'll have to select the proper tire.... 19's are going to look huge on the car...

 

Yea, well i have a veilside body kit on the car..... Just need something to fit in the fenders.

The car is lowered on KG/mm Springs...

 

hummm.. you're gonna rub if you're lowered on kg/mm springs.... make sure you get narrower tires... to minimize the rubbing.... and you might have to get a really aggressive alignment... so you'll be replacing tires pretty often..

 

So roll the fenders?

I gotta find that tire calculator to check my overall OD. IS it going to rub all the time or just on cornering?

 

found the tire calc

from 225/50-16F and 245/45/16

to

225/35/19F and 265/30/19R

the overall diameter difference is 0.3" in the front, and 0.6" in the rear. so i wouldnt iamgine that it would be that different, they are less than 1/2" diameter.

If i go to a 255/30/19 the total overall difference would be 0.3". Didnt buy tires yet, still dont have enough $$ left. Thought id snap up the last few sets of SSR's.

 

wow 19s , do you have to run a 30series tire ?

 

30 series will be expensive but it'll give the tire a stretched look on the rims

 

you should roll the fenders regardless of which tires you get.. since you are going wide...... as for rubbing i'm not sure exactly how much you'll rub.... you won't really know till you put it on your car and seee how it goes with those springs and such..

 

true, you should get your fenders rolled

 

with only kg/mm springs, you will rub without modifying (ie fender roll)
