Go all one size just so you can rotate them is just plain silly. If you try to save money on tires, you risking you're own neck. It's really a safety thing. Part of the expense of owning an S2000 is tire replacement.

But hypothetically speaking, how much would you really save? You'd get an extra 10,000 miles out of the rear tires, at most. But that comes at the expense of extra wear on the other two tires. It would even out in the end.

most of the people running one sided wheels are running 8.5 -9.0 inches all around, which require you to pull the fender and it's not even close to being a direct fit.

for the money to mod the fender and dial in neg camber you can afford couple set of tires already.

not to mention, most of the people running non-stagger are using it mostly on the track, or they have alot of experience with it. the rear wheels are wider because the car tense to oversteer, which could be hard to control in street.

and there's cheap skate that runs 7.0 all four corner 35et, with taiwanese rubber and think it doesn't affect handling.
