I've been crunching some #s and I've come up with a wheel fitment for the S2000 that will allow for 18x10 inch rims on the front AND the rear.

This setup will require the use of the new ASM front aero fenders. There wont be any need to modify the rear fenders.

I will not give out exact offsets (sorry, I put a bunch of time into this one). But we'd be interested to see if anyone out there is looking for a max wheel fitment and has the means to become the first person in the world to run 10" rims on all 4.

This setup will consist of ASM front fenders (available in FRP or dry carbon) and Work Meister S1 wheels in either 2pc or 3pc design.

I have not worked the exact #s for price, but it will exceed $5000, so it's not what I'd consider a cheap setup.

What do you all think?

that'd be tight, but its gotta kill the steering response....

Honestly I am not sure why anyone would want that...

uhm you can run 18x9 and 18x10.5 and you don't need any special fenders.

I've been runing 18x9 and 18x10 for over a year and half.

well, the fastest lap times in the world have come from setups running 9" wide front and rear rims. It provides the most responsive turn in.

Powerhouse Amuse was one of the pioneers of running 9" fronts. Since then most circuit run S2000s in japan use the 9" wide front and rear setup.

This is essentially the same principal, but we've found a way with the use of wider front fenders to upgrade from 9" to 10" front and rear for maximum grip.

It is surely not a setup for a novice track day enthusiast, but if driven properly I'm certian that it will yield excellent laptimes.

It's also a great drift setup if using smaller width tires and stretching them over the rims more.

Ben

agreed, we already sell 9" front and 10.5" rears without the need for special fenders.

I have a set of custom Volk TE37s in 17x9+65 front and rear in stock (bronze).

Ben

btw nice ride...I havent seen it in a while! Lookin good.

krazik

so 10s all around are gonna be that much faster? you done any testing?

Ben

I've never seen 10"s done all around, we'd like to be the first to introduce it.

I dont know for certain that it'll be faster, but based upon Japanese S2000 time attack events, the 9" front and rear combo has been a favorite, so I consider 10" front and rear to be somewhat of an equivalent setup, just a little bigger.

I cant say for certain, but the setup does intrigue me.

I don't see why 10" would be any faster than 9". You would have to run a huge front sway bar to keep the rear planted, and it would take longer to heat the tires up.
