Been too busy to mount these since I got them from Tirerack but I might be mounting them on the car tonight, after I clean up all the grey lubricant they used to install the tires

I'm excited since I haven't been able to see ANY photos of these on an S2000 but I like the way they look.

Are you going to run 3mm spacers? My advans +63 rub at full lock from the inside, but 3mm spacers clears them.

Dang that kinda sucks, I hope I don't have to I'll see how it goes. This is not my daily driver, will be 80% autocross/trackday car, rest will be driven on nice days. So I hope I don't have to go full lock very often. Maybe I should have gone with 245's instead.

It really depends on your alignment settings, you might be able to get away w. it, idk.

It's not the tire that rubs, its the wheel it self. Metal on metal. 3mm spacers are safe, you still get good thread engagement, or you could get some extended studs. You got options!

Ah alright thanks, does your setup ever hit the fender liner clips?

On oem shocks & springs, yes I rubbed the tire on them pretty good during autocross.

Once I got some coilovers, & tweaked things, I haven't had issues.

ISADE: My 9" +60 with 255's, on a lowered track car don't rub clips, and I only get tire rub on the inside at full lock. I also get some rub on my brake duct tubing, that you don't have to worry about. No metal to metal. However, I'm running about 3.5* of camber (with offset bushings).

No matter, you're not gonna be real far off to get things to work

They remind me of the Risi Ferrari wheels that ran in ALMS back in the day...




(then I looked at some google images and I was off )
