can someone tell me wut it is the rim size will be 18x7.5
...and pics would help..

TIA

 

Its either going to be 245 or 255.

 

Why so narrow in the rear?

 

you could probably fit at least a 285a on, maybe even b.

 

with the stock wheel, i think 245/45/16.

whats the a and b mean??? i work in a tire shop and ive never heard that terminology.

 

You guys forgot he added his rims are 18x7.5 in the back.

 

thanks, but what offset should it be

 

my buddy has 17x10 rear 17x9 front . . . 275 and 255's . . . CCW wheels...so dope!!! and they're AO32R's

 

what the hell kind of wheel are you running? 18*7.5's sound like they are not even made for the S2000!

even TE37's are 8.5" wide in the rear.......

get proper wheels if you are going to do it.

 

you can run 265/35s on the rear with that setup. That's what I'm running and I have 18 *7.5. Scot...not many wheels are made for one particular car. If you find the size and offset you need then you can use it. it doesn't have to be made with the S2000 specifically in mind. I run 4 18*7.5s on the street, but run stock 16's on the track for weight and handling purposes.

 

Im not even sure 265]'s can fit on a 7.5" wide rim. My 9" wide rims can only fit 275's

 

Ive seen a 315 on a 9 inch rim. Sure it will buldge pretty bad, and people will tell you it wont fit, but it will. But as for the S2000, the biggest that I have heard of that people dont have problems with is 265's. I believe once you go bigger you will need to buy spacers. Anyways, I see no reason for any tire bigger then a 265 on the rear. I have 245's and they hook just fine. My friend with a S/C s2k has the same 245's and the still hook just fine. Unless you are just doing it for the "looks" of the big tire.. I see no reason to go past the 265.

 

Also to answer your question. A 265 will fit on that rim without any trouble. It will buldge a little bit, but I assure you it will fit. I would recommend a 245/255 if you dont wany any buldging tho.

 

u wont be carving any canyons with a drag stylee setup though

 

huh? as long as you stagger properly it won't affect your "canyon carving" abilities. You just need a little more meat in the back than you have in the front to keep the oversteer at bay.

 

I have a 01 s2k with 19x10's in the rear and 19x8's in the front, (and they dont rub) roja custom made the wheels in 3 weeks, I will try to put up a picture on my website in a couple of days (alternativemotorsports.com), I have road raced the car and they still don't rub even lock to lock, and they look tight from the rear, and don't stick out. Price was about $1950.00 for the whole set with shipping

 

19X 10.5 REAR------------19X8.5 FRONT biggest you can fit without modifing (www.hrewheels.com)

remeber rims make or break your car, choose them wisley

 

So do you know of some wider or bigger wheels that wont rub, and you don't have to modify?? If so let me know and I will check them out

 

I know a couple of people who are running 285's in the rear without using any spaces at all. Im currently running 265's upgrading to 275's in about a week and I havnt had any problems at all thus far.

You do have to modify & roll the fenders for some fitments.

Also, you can fit 18x9's up front... but even at 8.5" wide, you'll probably need coilovers to increase the available room down there.

 

I think 245 is better

don't take this as bashing but...
- what are you talking about?
- why do you claim what you claim?
- what kind of driving are you talking about?
- for which wheel?

please back up your blanket statements that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

 

I have 265/30zr19's on the rear with 10inch wheel and 225/35zr19's on the front with a 8 1/2 inch wheel, the don't rub, even lock to lock and hard corners
