hahahahahaha...you guys are pretty funny. Like I said, I'm gonna modify my car the way I want it. No matter what, Im still going to enjoy daily driving MY car! I use this car everyday and I also use this car when I go to the track and the occassional mountain runs. Think what you guys may but my current setup does not rub even on hard cornering. If I was just doing this for looks, I could have easily used narrower tires but I stuck with something that will grip. Dont believe me? You're more than welcome to join me in a run(track or canyon) one of these days. Don't think that I dont know what Im doing because I'm an ex-vw technician thats been modifying cars since I was 16. Those pics that I posted were just quick pics. I raised the car up about .25" all around to get more travel for the suspension. More camber is needed on the car for it to be more flush and a little more toe. Corner balancing and alignment are in order for next week when funds come back in. Thanks for the good comments and like Veilside AP1 said "You all laugh cause I'm different, I laugh cause your all the same."

If you wanted "Wider tires" you should have just gotten the proper wheels. Lots of guys run 285's on the rear of the S2000. You are only running 255's which is over an inch skinnier...

so to sum up.....you have skinny tires on a car that rubs and has the ghetto look.....that is good stuff!

Now we laugh some more at your crumpled up ghetto fenders...

Because they are trying to fit wheels with ridiculous offsets and as these pictures show, they don't fit like they were preaching. That is nowhere near being a good fit for the car, you can argue all day long but at the end of the day the photos show your tires eating your car.
The wheels look OK, they just DON'T fit the car. Oh well...
