I have an 01 s2k and I installed ap2 rims which I understand are 17s instead of the 16s. The new rims have falcon 615's on them 255/40 in the rear and 215/45 in the front. Because of the new rim size and tires I did an allignment on it. It was nearly impossible to do it. Everytime I adjusted my rear the front would go out of allignment and visa versa. I would do my rear camber then the rear toe, and the rear camber would go back out. Then adjust my rear camber again and the rear toe would go out.

I was doing the allignment myself, but when i couldent do it, I had three techs try it and they couldent get it to allign eigther.

I bought my car as the second owner. It had a clean carfax and 7k miles on it. The undercarrage is in prestine condition. Not a single sign of an accident.

Is there somethign wrong with my car or is there a special way of allighning a s2k that im not aware of?

If it makes a difference my old front tires were bald on the outside and meaty on the inside and the rears had even wear. Also the new falcons I put on were second hand but look like their wear pattern is even.

 

Find someone with a Hunter alignment machine that knows how to use it. Don't use the Honda factory settings but use the ones for the S in the Hunter.

Utah

 

so why is he unable to do the alignment with the ap2 wheels?

and does it have anything to do with the ap2 wheels???

 

Switching to 17's is no reason to have an alignment. Nothing changes.

 

First question is, what parameter can not be bought into spec?

Caster, camber, or toe.

 

I started out adjusting the rear left camber. When I got my left camber within spec I began adjusting my right rear camber. I got the right rear camber in spec, so i began working on my rear toe. I adjusted my rear left toe and rear right toe. Then i looked at my measurements and the right rear camber went out of allignment. I did the process several times and I couldent get the rear camber and rear toe to all be within spec. I finally got them all nearly close so i began alligning the front. Started out with no problem. Everything went into allignment then i look back at my rear and both camber and toe went out in the rear.
