thick ones go in the back.

The car handles great.

I got it aligned but im gonna get it re-aligned when i get my wheels. No problems what so ever with the alignment. I got it done by a friend at sears for $65.

Camber is adjustable front and rear. Although, dont take all the camber back out to factory. Use a little big more negative camber than factory. Like -1.5 front and -1.25 rear with stock tires and wheels. Camber isnt really what wears out tires, its toe. Get the toe fixed. The S2000 has an agressive toe setting, though, so too much camber can wear out tires as well.

Well, just dont drive like a jerk. Lol no..i live in suburbia, USA. The roads out here are pretty good. Im sure it would be a problem if i lived downtown in chicago or something. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by mugencivic99 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">k thanks.. i;m running 17's with 255's on rear and 225's up front.. so with skunks i know the rear will have to be off a little </TD></TR></TABLE>

Ok my alignment specs DEFINTATELY wont work with those tire sizes. You're going to have to go with more camber. Depending on the width and offset of your wheels.
