hi guys,
i really need some help here. My friend is giving me S2000 AP1 rims with stock tires (205/50/16 front, 225/50/16 rear) for free. But when i put them on my base Prelude the rear tires are rubbing against the rear knuckle where it's bent by the upper control arm. Has anyone tried putting these on their prelude, i really like the way these look on my car, but as i said there is too much rubbing on the inside walls of the tires. What should i do? Is it the size? maybe try 215/50/16 (if they fit).
Or perhaps some spacers? Please help me here A.S.A.P
i always appreciate help from people who know better. Thanks again

 

just get some 215/50R16 tires for the rear. I know 2 people who have these rims on their cars with no rubbing issues. Some people will say to just get 4 fronts cause the rears won't fit, but they're wrong. I've seen it personally with my own 2 eyes on 2 different Preludes.

 

One being me. ha

yea they fit. It maaay be VERY close to rubbing. Depends on tire size.

you have pics of the s2k wheels, just curious

 

hi,
was your friends prelude lowered, or is he riding on stock suspension? thanks

 

they rub because you need 4 fronts...there is an offset on the back wheels for the s2k

 

wider back wheels on a fwd car?

 

....and the myth continues.......

Here's a pic that I saved on my computer. This is gotta be the best looking OEM wheels on a prelude. BTW yes 2 fronts and 2 rears will fit, don't believe everything you hear on the net.

 

For reals. I have them on my car, and they dont rub. Damn people are dumb. Go try it then post.
