What size spacers, tires, and how much are you lowered? Did you do the typical fender mods? Thanks.

Front: 215/45, H&R 20mm
Rear: 255/40, H&R 25mm

Fenders rolled on all four corners. Rear bumper tabs relocated. I don't know how low I am(I am on coilovers). I adjusted it so there is 1 finger gap all around and make sure that I wasn't rubbing when I tracked it or went on canyon runs.

Sounds good thanks. I have 225 F and 255 rear, will be lowered on coilovers. I was thinking of doing 15mm front, and 20mm rear. What do you think of that. I have seen some pictures, but usually only have seen a 15mm front, with a 215 front tire.

I have considered using 20mm on all 4 corners. Going to roll the rears, relocate tab. The fronts I planned on bending the tabs up flush, and trimming the fender, but not actually rolling.

No they don't, Project Kics does though, I have them in the front.

Where can you find the 70.1mm center bore ring for the project kics? evasive only has up to 69mm I believe.

H&R Makes hubcentric 20mm w/ built in studs. They don't however make them in 15mm.

Pic of 25mm all around on AP2V1s dropped on Monoflex recommended height:



Before anyone asks, to fit, I needed to roll the fenders all around, rear tabs relocated 2+ inches back, and most of the rear bumper edge trimmed to nearly nothing.
what size tire are ya running in this pic?

here's a pic a pic of my S project kics 20mm in front 30mm in the rear

okay so obviously you had to roll fenders... are you on stock tire size? what else did you modify to get these to fit?

Also I noticed you said you were on project kics for the front... where did you find the front hub centric rings to purchase for them? 70mm?

Ok question. It has been asked but not answered. Does anyone make a 15mm hubcentric spacer with built in studs to fit the front?
ichiba makes one but the problem is they dont have the proper hubcentric ring for s2000 guys... 70mm...

reason i mention it despite the fact that they dont come with the right rings for the s2000 front, is perhaps you can get a shop to machine some for you?

what's the deal with the hubcentric ring's? i don't wanna sound stupid but what are they for and why would i need them? my spacers seem to be fine w/o them and i've driven my car pretty hard for like 1 year = 20,000 miles and now i'm running 25mm fronts and 33mm rears i need to update my pics soon.

the hub centric ring helps the wheel to sit perfect center while bolting them on. without them you COULD have vibrations esp up front could = shakes in the steering wheel.

wheels are technically supposed to be held on to the hub with the center... the are supposedly there just to hold em' on.

without em' being hubcentric, the only thing holding em' on is the lugs/bolts and with spacers... i feel thats even more dangerous.

I dunno if i'm wrong on this stuff, please correct me, this is just the summation of my reading over the years regarding this.

Meanwhile another day and I haven't found bolt on spacers in 70mm....

Those of you who have changed out the front studs, I know the rear is difficult but how difficult are the front studs to do? I've done them before on my Prelude with nothing but a 5lb sledge and some lug nuts and washers to suck the new ones back in.

BUMP

Can someone confirm what starbai has posted? I'm about to order some Project Kics spacers but would like to know if I need to really worry about being hubcentric...
