Do you really think everyone who own a ferrari appreciate the car for what it's meant for ???? i dont think so... as far as i know a ferrari is not meant to cruise downtown and go shopping and i see that everyday where i live... (california model,maybe but still ) And thats a 300000$ ++++ car so you gotta expect and respect the fact that lots of peoples will buy an s2000 and not spiritually drive or track it...
Thats just common sense. I dont personally like the Op tires set up 215/40/18 on a 10", its hella stretch... I myself had a 215/40/18 on a 9.5 up front... I drove it for a while did over 12000km like this, i spiritually drove the car with other s2k, stock,track mods and i soon realized i was suffering front heavy understeer but I was still faster and had more balls than 3/4 of them so at the end I still had a blast to drive my car and learn to push it to my tires grip limit... As long you have a functional wheel combo for what you do, my 215/35/18,225/40/18 was functional for my daily driving and my late night warehouses hunting clutch kicking session so my guess is a functional wheel combo for the OP is something who doesnt rub and attract attention so a set of 17x9+45 245/40/17 RPF1 is not for him...

I HATE hellaflush since I am always in the quest to fit bigger tires in my car. But I do appreciate the work you guys put in the car. It is a bit too wide and is poking out, tire is a bit on the thin side too.
But, gotta agree that it does look great, if your goal is only looks, you have done a good job. A little camber might make it better by getting rid of all that poking lip. Secondly, you post your car here so you will get
and at the same time. That's how forums are. BUT, you spend the money, its your car, and you are happy.End of the day, that's all that matters

I love feedback, I won't get hurt even if you say the car looks like shit. its your opinion, I love opinions lol.
Thanks to everyone else. I went with 215's to get stretch, not for handling. I don't really care about handling. The wheels won't be on the car forever

Learn what? that I should put a bigger tire on it? I know that and don't want to do it lol. If I wanted a race car, I wouldn't have done this.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
That said, you can forget about everything else man, but one thing is for sure - THAT is NOT safe. Be careful driving on those until you change them for wider tires.

No matter what your intentions are, put a tire on that FITS. Stretched tires compromise safety for the sake of appearance (which I can't comprehend the appeal of).
So, looks ridiculous and isn't safe. Makes sense.

the car looks like shit.

It certainly does. I love the look of flushed wheels, but this is just retarded man. You didn't put any work into the car to make them fit. Get yourself some fender flares and proper tires if your gonna run low offset wheels. Why did you buy a car built soley for handling only to completely destroy the handling. This type of stuff makes me want to sell my car. Saddens me that the S is getting cheap enough for this type of crap.
