A lot of you out there will find the following a bit amusing and I understand naivety can be humorous some times.
Here goes>
Last weekend I was at the Coastal Bend PCA "Coastal Classic

So for those who have not fathomed this problem here is the summary:
1) The hubs on the S2000 are different sizes from front to back.?
2) The 7.5

Yup... tire guy did that to us also. When we ran Nick's car at Gingerman. We had a correct pair on one side, and reversed on the other. Interestingly, the car didn't handle much different with the tires that way! Shows that the 225 and 245 Hoosier are not much different in construction. In fact, the lap times were exactly the same that way. Go figure!

I was at my dealer a month or so ago and I noticed an S2K sitting there waiting for service. I saw that the left front hub was missing two studs. I asked the service adviosr what happened and she said the tire shop that put the wheels on put the rear wheels on the front and front wheels on the rear. The tire shop also torqued the lug nuts down way too much causing two of the studs to snap when the guy drove his car home.
