Bleh - well if I start to rub you will see some like new LM's in the forsale forum... and a new hit on some 17" RGR's.
You'll rub, no way around it. If you got the same sizes I have. It's not that big of a deal though. LMs are worth it.

yep, it's true...i have the same setup... the fronts rub on the fender lining. I don't even bother replacing the center fender liner clip anymore. IMO BBS LM are best in it's original silver with mach lip or gold. I used to think black looked good, but the more I look at black BBS's the more it looks like every other wheel out there that gets played out when it's black. Good luck with the refinishing

I inquired about custom wheels before and wheel makers are always hesitant to make custom width and offsets for me as well.

make sure you use threadlocker for the bolt, i refinish many 2 piece wheel before.

just use those glue for the bolt, torque it down even and nice have it balance again once you are done

well the thing in my case is that RT on this board essentially got fikse on the right path (fitment). yet when i pinged them about wanting 10.5s they wouldn't believe that it'd fit.

now the 10.5s w/ 285s aren't ideal. you still have to shave off that infamous bolt in the rear, but u do not have to roll the fenders which is the beauty of it all. and on a small car like the s2000 it looks so good from the rear (steamrollers).

10s are the widest on the s2000.
