Going rpf1s? They not 9.5j +38? To run a 255 or 246 will need a good bit of work. Most people stretch with those specs. Can't wait to see it and what work you had to do to Arches. What you running atm?
Nah man NT03+Ms people usually run a 245 square but I'm interested to see if I can fit a 255 I'm just on standard wheels at the moment still :/ ideally dont want to do a fender pull, just a roll and tab relocation
I'm rolled fully flat and flared a further 10mm all round. I'm only 9+45 square atm. Plenty of room at back with -3.4 camber, so a 255 on 9.5j 40 shouldn't be an issue for you. However I'm pretty low and even just 9j +45 with -2 camber is close to arches. I had to stiffen dampers in front to max stiff to avoid hitting off fenders mid turn of big dips. Still hit it the odd time when I'm fully on it.
However, those specs your after is what I have now decided I want to try in the future. Ideally I want to avoid more arch work if possible so it will be interesting to see how you get on with yours.
I will follow this closely and probably have a few more questions for you bud lol.

Looks great,

You don't have any videos of what it sounds like do you? i'm looking at getting a super street Exhaust but i cannot find any videos of what they sound like on the S anywhere
I dont currently no but i'll happily get one for you at the weekend! It has a nice burble to it at low revs and then has a great scream at high revs!
Did you manage to get a video up? I have you on Instagram if it would be easier for you to post one on there thanks

Decided to sell the CR lip and run a Mugen style splitter. Decided that the CR was a bit too aggressive for the look I wanted.

Made my brakes look a little fancy:







And my new wheels. Enkei NT03+M in 18 x 9.5 non staggerd.





Just waiting on tyres now. Going to be having the arches done at the same time as the bumper gets smoothed and spoiler painted.

Good timing! Just got them fitted yesterday.

In regards to arch work, the fronts are rolled and arch liners trimmed, and the rears were rolled and the bumper tabs relocated. Pretty easy to do.

Havent got good photos yet, but heres some quick photos I took.














Next job will be getting my front end resprayed and OEM rear spoiler fitted. I am also going to be indoors for the next Mimms Honda Show in November, be good to meet some other UK S2000 owners there

Looks absolutely incredible!! No real pull or flare then in either front or rear? Just a simple roll? What camber specs and tyres 245/35 all round?
