Im thinking about slapping on 19" wheels on my '02 S2k.
Can i slap 19" without any modification or scrapping?
thanks
oh btw- anyone knows the wheels size i need to get and what tires size i need so i can drive without it scrapping anything.
thanks

 

no. your s2k is not some stunna ghetto fabulous pos lowrider chevy. its a performance sports car.


dont make a fool out of yourself. it wont fit without causing harm.

 

yes, it has been done without an issue. you will get stuck with some very low profile tires resulting in a harsh ride and a greater chance of wheel damage from bad roads.

is it possible/doable, yes.
is it practical, no.

ignore the folks that think they know when they dont.

^x2

its doable, but why would you want too?

 

why 19s? to show youre a baller? a porsche would sit on 19s better than a honda ever will.

 

why do odd numbers . .. go up to 20" .. if you are a true balla!

 

my friend had 19's. he didnt rub, but they looked out of place on the s2k.

rofl i said it wont fit without causing harm...i.e. damaging wheel well, fenders, tires, or possibly the rim itself from encountering bumps.

wow really? what offsets? i've never seen a working 19" setup without rubbing.

 

YOU MY FRIEND hve no idea what your talking about many people have seen my car im know as spoons on s2ki i have had 2 sets of HRE's on my car both sets 19x8.5 and 19x10.5 rear and for 4 years on 400whp never had issues vehicle was dropped on H&R suspension no rubbing no messing anything up and also had many friends with same application you can have custom wheels on the car as long as their made right (offsets) you will be ok

 

^^ Thank you, someone with true experience on the matter.

Like I said before, ignore the folks that think they know when they dont.

 

its definately doable .. but shouldnt be done

same as 19" on rsx / 20" on M3/ 19" on civics/ etc

 

why 19", would look out of place like he said above...just go with 17"s , 18" if you have too

 

im rollin 26's

HREs2000, Although you're running 19's - What do you think of HRE's? With 400 ponies and possibly hitting up the track.. you would surely be taking them off bec. HRE makes easily bent wheels that bend and crack easily. A reason why many tracks ban them. What do you think of them?

OP.. I'm sure the topic has now been covered! What wheels and tire combination is a completely different story. I'm sure you'd be running rubber bands for tires!

 

WELL I WILL be honest i have never tracked the car but in that case i would use the QF's i had lightweight in 17x9 fitments .....HRE.... i have delt with them for some time now never had issues with bent wheels (here on our horrible miami streets) i have seen bans on wheels especially kinesis at a audi event wheel came apart ......my good friend is HRE #1 dist. and all of us have hre on our cars and they have been nothing but great wheels......

 

jesus there are so many haters.

if you have an s2000 and want 19s on it (especially HRE), there's absolutely NOTHING ghetto about that (unless you get some blades :x ). I had a 00 s2000 silver on red with 19" HRE 540 wheels and it looked better than any other s2000 i had seen at the time. It was basically stock (besides a k&n drop in) and still ran beautiful. dont let jealous haters stop you from creating beauty.

oh yeah, when you purchase HREs, as most of you know they're made to order for your car and will PRECISELY size them for exactly that. Offsets are never a problem. in other words, NO RUBBING.

example:
im not a fan of yellow, but it looks nice and clean.


another one with 19s


HREs

^^dont see a damn thing wrong with any of those cars.

 

i've seen 20's without problems, its all about what u want thats all. it would be boring if all of our cars looked the same.

 

HERES MINE THE BLACK S2 in the wheelsboutique.com gallery with the hartop is mine

 

i've also seen one with 20" HRE 545. freaking beautiful, just no pic.

 

heres 1 more pic

 

i've bought most of my wheels from Ben. known him since the "wheel and tire outlet" days. good prices. here are my 20" aeros on my 5 series.

 

Wow Im surprised that the s2k can clear 19s with no issue.

Ive had a few friends put on 18s and have a few issues with stock suspension.

IMHO 19"s on s2k = Except for maybe like one that was pictured.....
