Its my opinion of best choice. All depends on what look, or function you are going for. What is your goal?


p.s. your old DC2 is beautiful.

okay, let the wheel jock through

Of these sizes, your best bet is to run (clearance) would be:

17 x 7.5 +45 5h x 114.3
17 x 8.5 +50 5h x 114.3

You can sucessfully run stock AP2 tire sizes of 245/215 combo with this set up

255 is also do-able too, but you will rub if you hit deep dips or crevices in the street with non rolled fenders. other than that, daily driving is perf

Stick with traditional staggered set ups. It will work but your car will drive like *** especially running 7's all around. You can get away with running staggered tire set ups but I say squash this set up:

yes yes, but the 8.5 +35 is way more aggressive than a 9+45. If running this set up, It should stick out about 1/8 inch more than a 9+45.

the closest set up that come's close to a 9+45 is an 8.5 +40 with a differenece of 1 mm

If running a 9+45, on non rolled fenders, 235-40-17 is your best bet (that is if your tucking) If you have finger gaps, 245-40 would be better but you will have your occasional rubs.

1) Don't use the wheel fitment guide. Its been way outdated. Talk to me If you need help

2) Falken Ziex are sorry *** tires lol. RT615's are best, or if you can find the OG, RT215's like me. If not, settle for Falken FK452's.

Let me know

Ohh yes. I have a pair of NSX Spec/BBK Spec Regamasters for sale for the s2000

Only a pair though. Check the FS forum.

17x8 +35. Either run a 205-45-17 stretch on that 8" on non rolled fenders or a 215-45 with rolled front fenders
