I've been seeing a lot of widebody action going on with low offset wheels and a lot of camber. (I myself might be going that route.) <-hypocrite.
I just wanted to throw it out there or at least remind people that moving your wheel from OEM like offsets will change your scrub radius drastically. It will increase your bearing wear, and increase unsprung weight. For a road car, there is also one really big negative. In the event of a front tire blow out because of the change in scrub radius,
your car will toe out to that side. Thus causing your car to move in whatever direction your blowout occured. Hopefully not into a busload of kids. With the OEM offset your car will want to toe in and leave you with some steer ability ... kinda like snowplowing. Also if I remember correctly Honda was kind of bragging about the s2k's "in wheel suspension". Supposedly being superior to other designs, by keeping unsprung weight within the wheel. Whatever, i'll get off the soapbox. For what it's worth.

 

I've yet to see -offsets on a S. Link please

 

woops! meant low offsets. Anything negative of OEM is what I meant to say. Correction
done.

 

Oh I see

If I had a blow out my fenders would keep my tires somewhat in place

 

FTL

 

oh well

 

It's big with the FF guys too. Looks ****ing stupid and screws up suspension geometry.

o hai guyz these wheels dont fit but am i still kewl?

 

For fwd cars it is even worse. But they could take thespy's advice and get some super fenders. A trend in the making.

 

I have missed all this low offset stuff. but i agree about the form over function argument. the s2000 was built amazingly from honda, why try and screw it up?

 

I don't think that people are "trying" to screw up what Honda has done. However, people that fit wheels with lower offsets are probably doing it for the sake of style. It's important to remember that not everybody drives their car at 10/10 all the time.

Plus aggressive fitment looks sick!
