Hey Jeff,

I was just thinking about a thread like this. I've read and seen many owners with 17" CE28Ns but have you gotten feedback from those owners who run 18" CE28Ns and their experience with tire selection and rubbing (lowered or stock)? If you were to recommend 18's, what size tire, brand and offset wheel would you recommend? Also, what's the weight of the 18" f/r?

Down the line, I'm considering coilovers (running stock now) but would lower it very little (maybe half an inch).

Thanks in advance!

In my opinion and from my experiences. The best set up is anything over 48+ is good for s2000. If you are looking into CE28N in 18"

18" CE28set up
18x7.5 front +50
18x8.5 rear +49

NEW -- Coming late Aug/Early Sept.

LE28N - Gunmetal/polished lip
18x7.5 front +50
18x8.5 rear +47

The front is fine, you can run 225x40x18 easily
But the rear, you can run 255x35x18 and don't lower it too much or run 245x35x18 and you will be ok.

Any questions regarding pre ordering or prices. Just give me a call at the shop. As far as tires go guys. Please make sure you get it from Jim @ Tire rack. We have to support them for this forum. And they are our sponsors and they are the guys I have been dealing with for past 5 years. They are great guys.

No, with the 245 tire set up. You should be fine on regular driving. But you may notice a little rubbing on pot holes. I wouldn't really worry about it. You should be fine.
