Stock height 05' for now, may in the future drop it 1/2" or an 1"

Nothing crazy, as the roads here aren't the best @ times.

FRONT
17x7.5 +45
225/45/17

REAR
17x8.5R +48
255/40/17

Prolly gonna grab some azenis once I know these are ok sizes to get. I am more concerned about the front jumping from the 215 that is on there now. I already have 255's in the back.

Any feedback would help.

Thanks in advance.

 

??

what do you want feedback about?

That would help wouldn't it?

Curious if anyone has had any rubbing issues on a stock height or 1" dropped 05 S2K with 225/45/17's in the front?


Thanks.

 

with only a 1" drop, youll be fine

i have 17x8 17x9 +40, 235/45-17 fronts (they sent me the wrong size) and 255/40-17 rears. i have about 1/2 of a finger gap between the top of the tire and the wheelwell. im running 1.5 degrees up front and 3.3 degrees in the rear. the fronts rub sometimes if i hit a decent sized bump or if i pull into a steep-grade with the wheel cut. the rears hit the bumper bolt on hard bumps as well...neither really bother me at the moment though

 

you will not rub at stock height

 

Thanks guys, appreciate the quick replies.

I'll go ahead and get them ordered then!!

 

what wheels

 

Rota slips.

Berlina Black s2k.

 

your tires and sizing are
any closer in mm's of tread width and you would experience snap oversteer on harsh turns

 

good size and allways loved the spoon knock offs post pics when u get everything on the car i would like to see what it looks like cause i still dont know if i want 16" or 17" slips

 

I always think of this pic when I think spoon (or slips) on an S2000.

 

Were can I find more pics of that car?

 

Sorry, I have no idea. Found that in a google search awhile ago. It's from someones myspace but I don't know how to tell who's.

 

that laguna blue s2000 was posted in this thread I believe. Someone on here also posted a pboroshoot of it last summer. I think I have a few pics but I'm on my iPhone. I'll post a few if I get a chance

 

rotas on a S2K make a small tear come down my cheek

 

buy my wheels instead... 17x8 17x9 +40 offset

Yep, why buy cheap lightweight wheels when you can buy JDM boutique tuner wheels that do the same thing but are 4x as expensive. And then once you get your CE28N's or TE37's, get Kumho minivan tires for maximum drifting.

Real. True. Tuning.

That is sorta how I felt. I wasn't willing to spend 3k on a wheel/tire combo when I am pushing for 500whp this winter.

After coming from my Si (450whp) and going to this the car feels slooow.

I need to get back in the game, and spending loads of $$ on wheels isn't helping my cause.

The slips are actually the ones w/the red lip around the outside.

I haven't seen them on any s2k's yet. Hopefuilly it will turn out ok.

but you will rub an inch lowered... youll need to roll your fenders and run some neg camber... most likely around -2.5 in the rear

Then I'll roll stock height or 1/2".
