i wanna get the widest tire for my S and wanna know what the options are

 

seen 9" in front and 10" in rear

 

i think the amuse track car is running 11's in the rear...not sure though

 

do u know the rim diameter. the max i want is 18"

 

buddy just ordered 17 x 10 for track purposes

 

where did he order it from? also what about the tire rubbin against the fender, will this happen wit that size or are wider panels necessary.

 

kinesis is the brand...custom orders only

The GT1 or the orange car?

The orange car uses 17x9 +63 up front and 17x9 +40 in the rear.

he is asking for widest

 

what about 15" rims for the rear
what is the best offset?
what is the fattest semislick you can put on these rim?

 

you sure they are 17"? they will rub the suspension arms. Everyone gets 18x10's because they just clear the suspension.

I don't think 17x10's would fit.

is there even a 15" wheel that fits the S2000? I don't think I have heard of anyone putting one on. wouldn't clear the brakes in the front i don't think... not sure about the back.

has to be 17's cause he ordered tires through my friend... 245/xx/17 up front and 275/xx/17 in the rear

 

the widest im able to find (and the one i liked) are BBS 18x8 fornt 18x9.5 rear. im not sure if these would rip out my fenders cuz my cars lowered. And the tires would also be much wider than stock.

 

I am pretty sure they will hit the suspension or be so far sticking out that they look like a ghetto ride. :D

18x10 barely clears from what I am told.?? o well.... let us know once he gets them.

I think most people that have 10" wide use 73mm offsets which puts the inside right almost touching and the outside right at the lip.....285/35/18's (or 285/30/18 i forget) apparently do fit.

 

i will find out once he gets them.

 

I'm running 10.5" wheels in the rear. Fit perfect. Lowered 1.5". cost me about $1100 per wheel.

That's as wide as you can go. else, it'll rub on the inside or the outside.

 

show car or track car?

 

Car.

 

that helps

with the stock 16" there are still plenty of gap between the brake and the rims
there shouldnt' be any problem with fitting in a pair of custom fat 15" rim for drag racing

you can use anything including the spare wheels rim at the front. I think the factory tyres should be replace with these as they are only rated to 80kph.

I hope you were not thinking that I do circuit work with these 15" tyres

 

i don't think there is enough room in the front. there is barely enough space between the caliper and wheel

 

nishant, I wasn't intending to get 15" for the front, just the rear. There is no need to do this. I think you guys misunderstood me.

I will get some sort of slim wheels for the front for weight saving

So what is the widest you can go with the 15" REAR rims?

Lets see if the s2k chassis is strong enough to produce this

 

ahh now i understand. i can see the benefit for drag. i would assume widest would be 10 without doing some quarter panel work
