yes they will fit...depending on how low you are...theres a couple of people on s2ki running +35 offset on some blitz wheels...you just have to be careful with tire sizes and how low you're gonna go and also it'll stick out a bit

they will stick out like some lowrider, and not to mention it will mess up the tracking/suspension set up

it will fit but not recommended

it'll fit, but its way agreesive man.

You'll have to run a stretch tire as well as rolling you fenders + camber to make these fit. Although, it will look extremely hot if you actually pull it off by doing this. The only problem is that the front is pushing it alot.

well my front are +45 and i have a 15mm spacer that i had to hack down to a 12 so id say around a +33 right now. I rub on big bumps and i messed a fender up because the tire eventually ate through the guard and grabbed the hole that holds the guard in. It bent it outward and i still have that big dent on the passenger side. But also the guy who did my alignment didnt finish because of a frozen bolt. So basically it can fit but your gonna rub and make sure you have the proper alignment setup.

And it sticks out slighty but trust me you dont really notice. Im gonna ***** this one again just for reference

no way you will be able to use the 245 in the rear unless you are at stock height

i run a 255 in the you will have to cut the rear fender out. I wouldnt recommend rolling it...its not as thin as a Civic. If you roll that thing you will eventually see some type of flex marks. Unless of course you take it to someone that has dont it before on a S2k. Should have seen me in the hot *** 90 degree weather with my dremel tool and small disc cutters. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by SilverDc2 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">JDM knowledge, how's the durability of the front bumper?</TD></TR></TABLE>
its great so far. There is a little more than a 3 finger gab between the bottom fins and the ground. Those scrape like crazy but they havent cracked yet. I must say it is very very strong. But then agai ni have only had the thing painted and installed for a month tops.

so pretty much you cut out the under part of the rear fender and made it even with the quater?

i bet those air dams in the front scrape, my oem ones scrape because im too low for here.

if you can see in the pic at the fins or dams...they are scrapped and chipped up.

oh and the tires i have run 2 sizes bigger i forgot to add. They are the BF Goodrich T/A KDW. so i run a 225 up front so its like a 245 and the back is like a 275

a lot has to do with how low the car is, if you dont' lower a car a 35 offset will work I assume, but the higher offset the better of course if you can.

They might be running a +35 offset but I think that they are running only 8's not 9's.

I might be wrong though

How do you know that he wants to track his car ?

He might just wants a nicer looking rims on his car to make it look better.

these things are sticky as hell. The wear is pretty good as well. Trust me you will be surprised if you buy 'em. Its a high performance tire and this is my second set. Lasted me about 18k miles i think. When i start hitting the track i might use these or maybe some Advan A048, big difference but that is how i rate them personnally. dont know about the Falkens there homie, cause i fail to know anyone with them.

The only caution I'd exercise before cutting off the inside lip of each fender is that the lip provides lateral support. For several track events/auto-x and street miles, I was running 275/35 RA1's on 18x8.5 LE28n's with a +43 offset in the rear. The car was lowered 2.5" and there was no rubbing. The inside lip of the fenders were cut in half, then with mild heat were rolled carefully and slightly flared. I also had to modify the rear bumper mount due to some toe I was running in the alignment settings.
