I have just purchase a set of 16' Spoon Wheels and don't know what size tires to put on them. The tires I'm buying are Potenza S03. I have also lower my car with a set of kg/mm springs I know a lot of you s2000 owners out there have the same set-up so please reply. I want it to look good at the same time No Scratching on the fender walls. Please Reply Fast........

 

ttt...none?.common..guys.

 

Front: 205/55/16
Rear: 225/50/16

I'm running the SW388 (+35 offset front, +45 offset rear) with KG/MM DR21 Race springs.

 

"Front: 205/55/16 Rear: 225/50/16"

THAT IS INCORRECT! however, it is ONLY correct if you are running OEM S02's. If you go with S03's or ANY OTHER TIRE, you must use 245/50/16's in the rear. The OEM S02's are sized at 225/50/16, however they are sized more like a 250/50 if such a tire existed.

 

I have a 2.5 inch drop and my rear fenders are rolled and I am using stock SO2s. I wouldnt go to any other tire because the other ones that I have tried rub pretty bad. If you use other than OEM tires you must go with a 245/45/16 rear the front you can leave the same.

Here is a quote from http://www.s2ki.com tire forum.
"There has been lots of discussion and I wanted to help clear this up.
This advice applies to the Stock Rims, with NON-OEM tires
If you are not running the OEM tires on the rear of the S2K, you should be running a 245/45/16 in the rear.
Our stock 225 is NOT a real 225 and has a 8.5" contact patch which is the same as just about all other 245's out there.
205/55/16 in the front."
