I'm running PSS9s (dropped to max recommended) w/ RGII +50s and Advan 255s - camber stock...

I've got rolled fenders (which helped) but I had to move the bumper attachment point.

It took me 1o min /side (including removing, cleaning and reinstalling the wheels).


very easy job

Great diagram ... If it comes to that I will probably cut part of the bumper and relocate the tab, but i'm going to see if running UK spec alignment with a little more negative camber in the back will help.

Weird. I'm running 10" wide Work Meister S-1's with 265's on the back, lowered pretty low (see pic in my sig). No fender rolling needed.

And no rubbing at all. Do your wheels have the proper offsets?

^^ The s2000 fitment for the RGII is +50

obviously not ideal, but that's the best they offer and what everyone runs...


And Neovas are a particularly wide 255


Relocating the bumper mount is fairly common. Most aggressive setups require it.
Your S-1s must just be made for the car

He's asking for PSS, not PSS9.
I'm almost sure the PSS and PSS9 have the same spring rating.

Hi all!! Im having the same issue with this pss, what is the solution? I already cut my bumber but still having that issue. Really need to solve because I cant drive the car, every time I change gear is rubbing with the bumper. Is so frustrating

Are pss and pss9 have the same spring rate? I would like to buy stiffer spring, which one will be work for me? btw Im going to turbo the S.

Thanks in advance

It's amazing the lengths some people will go to to"fit" wheels on their S2000. Rolling fenders, pulling fenders (err... ruining fenders), relocating bumper tabs, changing suspension (which usually isn't the issue at all), etc.

Here's the solution: buy wheels that actually fit the car (diameter, width and offset).

Original post from 2008. Apparently, nobody knew about trimming/relocating bumper tabs back then.

2008 was such a primitive year. We also all thought the world was flat. And that the sun revolved around the Earth.

Good thing its 2016 now. And the "make new post" button exists.
