Hey! Sorry to threadjack but here's some pics of my car on AP2 V1s with 20mm spacers in the rear. Note that the car is only mildly dropped here and the rear tires are only 225/45/17 (I use those wheels only to move the car around the shop). It's just a bolt on - no need to modify anything with Kics spacers I have.

Looking good.....

I had 15 mm on the rear only here

Nice

Do you have any more pics? Like a closer look of the back wheel ftment. I've been thinking of painting my wheels like that too. Are those AP2 V1s?

gusbo: No problem, thanks for posting those pictures but it's really not much relevance since I don't think anyone on this site runs s2000 front rims on the rear of the car. Once you change the tire size or rim size/offset then this info becomes just another aftermarket rim.

I'm trying to maintain STOCK OEM TIRE / RIM SIZING so anyone who has a stock car can drop it and get a nice flush appearance with the information I have given


Anyways here are a few better shots as you guys have requested.

Fronts are running 15mm H/R DRS #3065640 (need longer studs, labor)
Rears are running 25mm H/R DRM #5065640 (just bolt on has studs)


**I have not really driven the car "yet" so dunno if the 25mm rears rub but will report back!

Look wise this is a very nice setup that gives the flushed aftermarket wheel look without the need to buy new rims/tires or roll the fenders





And finally a overall picture of the car showing the drop profile

Very nice...are you going to lower it a little more eventually?

Well the fronts I'm pretty happy with the 15mm as it sits nice but even on hard cornering it does not rub.

The rears it seems 25mm is a bit on the extreme side as it rubs on hard impacts which is a big NO NO for me. I'm thinking I may want a less aggressive offset of 10-15mm to so I can drop the rear more.

Have to do an alignment once I can settle on the final setup

can't stand spacers but my opinion here doesn't have anything to do with the value S4skin is adding here

It's rubbing on the bumper bolt...that's going to limit how flush you can get these wheels. By the time you get the settings to eliminate the bumper bolt rub, it won't look flush anymore. You should relocate the bolt

Why not spacers? They do no harm and increase your overall track width and footprint? As long as you get some quality spacers they should be very safe


Nichigo: You're 100% right, the rear bumper bolt protrudes quite a bit into the wheel wheel so I may do some surgery using my Dremel later today. I found it's easier to access this bolt if you remove the taillights to do the cutting.
