ok so ive been searching the last few days and hurting my head trying to find wheels for my S2000.. i want something with some lip and something staggered but i cant find anything with the right offset.. any recommendations besides the Work meister S1 or SSR professor SP1. also stock how far extra can they stick out.. i understand the offset and how it changes the way the wheels fit.. so getting anything with event he same width but a lesser offset is going to make them stick out, but what is the most they can stick out without clearance issues say with a 1" drop.. 10mm? 20? thanks -a08

 

some thoughts;
Rota D2 Rear: 18x8 +48 will stick out an extra 23mm
Rota D2 Front: 17x7.5 +48 will stick out an extra 20mm

any thoughts?

 

ok have found some leads so ill just keep talking to myself in case anyone is wondering this same thing..

this is ********.com's s2000 wheel thread

http://********.zeroforum.com/zerothread?id=2649

there is a guy on there running VOLK GT-C's 18x7.5 +43 with 215/40/18 in the front and 18x8 +50 with 245/35/18 in the rear, he says there is "no rubbing what-so-ever slammed on TEIN CS coilovers" compared with AP1 wheels if my calcs are correct the fronts will stick out an extra 25mm.. and the rears an extra 21 mm.. with no rubbing (using that same size tire)

also

another was running VOLK TE37's with the fronts being 18x7.5 +50 with 225/40/18 and the rears being 18x8.5 +48 with a 255/35/18 and he said "slammed to the floor ... the rears rubbed, with a conservative drop or rolling of the fenders rubbing would probably only show under bottoming out or hard turns" with my calcs the fronts were sticking out an extra 18mm and the rears were sticking out an extra 30mm

conclusion:
fronts can stick out an extra 25mm or less and be good....
rears can stick out an extra 21 mm or less and be good.... (pending further study but for sure 30mm will rub unless you roll/pull the fenders)

anyone have any experience with the rim sticking out more than 21mm and not rubbing with no roll/pull??

ask black s2k.. he just got some rotas...

 

you should look at the bbs rs mesh. those honestly are one of the best looking wheels with lips/ staggered.

 

For the front:
205 tires: +43 offset minimum (6.5” to 7.5” wide wheel)
215 tires: +48 offset minimum (7.0” to 8.0” wide wheel)
225 tires: +53 offset minimum (7.0” to 8.0” wide wheel)
235 tires: +58 offset minimum (7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel)
245 tires: +63 offset minimum (7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel)

For the rear:
235 tires: +40 offset minimum (7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel)
245 tires: +45 offset minimum (7.5” to 9.0” wide wheel)
255 tires: +50 offset minimum (8.0” to 9.5” wide wheel)
265 tires: +55 offset minimum (8.5” to 9.5” wide wheel)
275 tires: +60 offset minimum (9.0” to 10.0” wide wheel)
285 tires: +65 offset minimum (9.0” to 10.0” wide wheel)

 

your not gonna find anything with big lips just little ones. Are gonna be riding dumped or just a small drop ?

 

The OP states in the first post this is with only a inch drop.

 

i got 16" they are not going to rub on my drop, even with the offset being 45 and 48. i wont know this untill i actually put them on i need some tires

 

cant believe they block that sites links lol

It seems the SP1s and Meisters are both popular for the s2000 giving thier apropriate sizing i just dont care for them much, they're ok but thier at the bottom of the list for me..

i dont mind rolling my fenders and ill only be dropping it an inch. another HTr has a set of Volk GR-A's that hes willing to let go but they are gold and i know i'd be settled on those if they were another color.. thanks for the replies so far. especially Slow*Jim

 

click my sig. you like that lip?

 

it's been about 3 months since this guy posted?
