Default RH C5 wheel fitment

Hi fellas

I was wondering if my Racing Hart C5 will fit on the s2000. The front wheels have a offset of 45mm, 18*8, 5*114.3, and have tires of 225/35/18

For the back they are 44mm, 18*8, 5*114.3, and tires of 225/35/18

These are still on my Lexus Is300. I was just wondering if they will fit the s2000. Also will they protrude out past the fender. Let me know. Thanks

Dennis

I had 18 inch Racing Hart C2s with a +42 offset all away around and they tucked fine. The only bad thing was I was running 35 series tires. You can feel everything.

I'm running this setup...

3-piece Racing Hart C5s
Front 18x7.5 with 50mm offset. Toyo Proxes T1-S 225/40/18
Rear 18X8 with 51mm offset. Toyo Proxes T1-S 245/35/18

As you can see, they're pretty damn close to the limit of the fender. I'm very hesitant to think that your C5s will fit in there. If you're really set on putting them on the S, you can look into rolling your fenders or shaving a few millimeters of material from the inside hub of the rim, effectively increasing the offset.

I don't think they would fit, probably stick out a bit. Plus, you really don't want to have the same size tires front and rear. Kinda screws up the handling characteristics.

They will be fine if you run a 215/35/18 tire. This will work if you lower it more than 2 inches. If you only lower an inch you can go with thicker tires. Thats what I used. It was ok. Its just to thin of a tire IMO. I did use it for day to day driving and they lasted me 4 months. The only reason I got rid of them is because I am going for performance now with the Spoon SW388s.

That should work with a one inch drop. For sure at stock height.

Really great. But it won't stick out right. Also which springs will drop the car like an inch. Also maybe coilovers.

Also there won't be any rubbing when I drop the car right.
