hey buddy, what size tires are you running on your NSX rims?

I agree you need a spacer up front as the wheels are tucked a bit like the OEM Ap2 rims. Just installed my nsx rims on the s2k.

Rears are near perfect running a slighty wider 255/40 tire.

Fronts are 215/40 which is slightly thinner than oem ap2 215/45's so makes the car look a bit higher off the ground. May need to drop the fronts a bit.

You stated you had a 1/4" spacer, did you replace the studs or get those h/r integral spacers?

225/45 in the front and 255/40 in the rear

i used some old universal wheel spacers i had laying around and there was enough stud on the outside i didn't have to get longer ones.

I'm impressed..... It's a 94' mustang DSS 347 stroker T56 tranny and a Two stage nitrous system (100, 250hp)

here's some pics as promised with 2 notes:

The rear nsx wheel center caps don't fit on an s2k wheel unless u use a small spacer. Also the rea NSX tire fitment 255/40 is TOO THICK for an s2000 and I will probably need to go 255/35 or a 245/40 as mine rubs really bad on bumps right now.


enjoy

Is it because you are so low?

Im guessing we can still run 40/255 on stock hight or with just 1" drop?

take the car to the alignment shop and dail in a little more negative camber, I have no clearence issues with a 1' drop and a 255/40. I never tried the center caps because the car is not an acura....

They look great on RIO

I actually never even thought about the center caps but they were on my NSX so I just installed them on the s2k. The fronts cleared fine but the rear caps started to push itself out when I tightened the lugs.

With 2 people in the car (175 lb and 99 lb) the tires sit about 1/4" from the fender and it will definitely hit on any impact. The offset for the NSX wheels sit flush with the fender so a 255 tire is too wide.

Either have to go back to a stock 245/40 tire or probably a 255/35 would easily fit back there.

Fronts fit just like stock so probably could use a 5-10 mm spacer to flush it with the fenders.

its rubbing at the the top of the fender in the rear right? Roll the fender lip.....

Mikes car was really low and had no real major clearence issues



if you really want the center caps on all you have to do is grind off the two small posts on the underside, the acura badge will not fall off if you do that because its held on with adhesive.
