Default How wide and low can your s2000 go? bumpy roads?

I like this guys setup, and it's probably rolled too, the silver s2k-->http://vvcap.net/db/0nSsK1rk0AykwL2rnjjl.htp

Is this height ok for daily driving, or will the tires rub?

Maybe somebody can post a pic of great low offet wheels, that arent rubbing your fenders or inner wall.

off topic but what kind of front lip is on that silver car?
my car runs 235-45-17 tires and its 35 offset i had to roll the fenders all the way around to make it work..

I don't even know which lip it really is. Looks nice. Anybody know what size those wheels and tires look like? Has it been rolled?

I think this depends on what state you live in and what do you consider wide? A wide wheel with a proper tire or a wide wheel with a stupid tire that doesnt fit on so you can say you have wide wheels?

Seriously?

This is completely dependent on where you live, what the road conditions are like, what suspension you're on, what tire and wheel size you have, etc. You can't just ask a generic question like that and expect an answer.......

I mean ****, what defines 'ok'? Are you fine with hearing your exhaust scrape on a speed bump and on dips and not being able to fully turn the front wheels? Or are you wanting to have a completely unmodified fender/bumper/lining and just go as low as possible.

You have far too many questions to answer before you can begin. My car isn't even that low in the rear (with mild-rolled quarters and bumper trimmed) and I rub sometimes.

*edit*

I really just want to tell you to stick to Civics......

Lol have u done any research besides looking at a picture and thinking to urself that's what u want ur car to look like. There r too many variables in play when it comes to wheel fitment and how the car rides
Wheel size diameter width offset
Tire width and hight
Camber
Body work
Coilovers/suspension
Ur tolarence for rubbing
Function or form or balance both

I suggest u research and read read read read as much as u can b4 making urself look like a lazy dumb noob.
