what happens if i keep the same size all around? will my car get messed up?anything bad?
reason being is that i have a set of nice wheels from my honda accord but its all one size going around

 

Oversteer... Not a good idea.

 

Plus accord wheels will NOT fit.

 

offset is the key. Plus aren't Accord rims 4 lugs?

 

You have to determine your driving style and go from there. I would not recommend same size tires on all four corners. In most cases, all you would be doing is increasing the ODDS of potential spin outs. Oversteer in of itself is not a bad thing (I prefer it 'over' understeer) but EXCESSIVE oversteer is and that is what you would create with same size tires. As for stagger, I have a 225/205 stagger and drive the car 8/10ths and haven't yet experienced anything that I would call unacceptable behavior. I drive rather aggressively and the car handles like it's on rails. It would handle BETTER with more stagger but as of now, I am perfectly content with my set-up. Bear in mind I have 17's in the front, 18's in the rear. My low offsets required this. There is plenty of info in the Tire and Wheel forum. Most prefer 245mm in the rear (at least) because the stock Bridgestones appear to be that wide despite their labeled 225 (special construction). From there, you'll have to know what wheels you want and that is an entirely different thread. Here's what I'll end with. Maintaining at least 25mm stagger between front/rear is most highly recommended and the more the better (dependent on wheel choices) but I wouldn't go less than 20mm (205/45/17 225/40/18 for me) if I were you. I've attended two high performance driving schools and consider my skills to be above average and wouldn't go same size corners with this car, although I DID have such a set-up with my MR2 Spyder, which incidently, has TONS more oversteer than the S2000 but strangely enough, is an easier car to push to the limits than my Honda.

4 days on this site and you have asked more questions than i v ever seen I guess its a good thing to do before you go out and screw things up.

One thing that has come up but i keep seeing you overlook are what other S owners have recommended for you to do. KEEP THE CAR STOCK, well atleast for a little while. Learn to drive the car and the way it behaves before you start messing with it. Anything you change on this car, is going to effect something else. Its very sensitive like that. Especially when it comes to wheels. The S2000 has a suspension set up very muhc like a porsche design which requires a very high offset wheel. There are not very many wheels that are designed with the S in mind. Sure they will fit, but they will either stick out way too far or will rub one way or another. Tire Rack can help you a bunch in this department, they have a wonderful database that will let you know what will work and what wont.

If you do decide to buy this car, you will realize what an amazing job Honda did with this car and neutral(handling) the car is. After you drive it awhile, then decide how you want to screw it up

 

While the Accord V6 wheels are 5 lug, they still may not fit as our offset is huge! Probably a good thing since its not worth stealing for the civic and integra crowd. But it i harder to find cool rims for the car. I would agree with everyone else that you should keep your car stock first, get used to it, and then start working on issues that YOU feel you need. if its all for looks, you may just mess up a good thing.

So many questions but all pretty good ones.

 

I recall seeing a picture, a long time ago, of an S2000 with 5-spoke wheels (wide spokes) off of an Accord V6 or an Odyssey. They looked to fit fine but I'm sure they are much heavier than the S2000's stock wheels.
